No generic presentation. Start with a useful checklist and a clearer next step.

About us

A boutique hospital planning consultancy with experience across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Türkiye and CIS countries.

Our combined expertise covers turnkey hospital projects ranging from early planning and design coordination to commissioning and operational handover. Across projects covering more than 18,000 hospital beds, we have worked directly with owners, contractors, medical equipment suppliers, consultants, and clinical teams in a wide variety of healthcare environments.

Because we have been involved in every stage of hospital delivery, we understand the practical coordination problems that appear between architecture, medical equipment, procurement, construction, and operations. This wider perspective helps us organize projects more efficiently, reduce coordination gaps, and make technical decisions clearer for all parties involved.

Over more than 30 years, we have also developed a large internal database covering medical equipment, medical furniture, general furniture, technical requirements, room standards, manufacturers, and pricing structures across many international markets.

How we create value

Practical coordination, clearer data and fewer late surprises.

Our work combines direct project experience with structured documentation methods developed for medical equipment planning, room data, quantities, technical lists, and handover readiness.

ADC Workflow System

Automated design coordination connects equipment layouts, room standards, CAD blocks, quantities, and technical requirements into clearer project documentation.

We translate

We help owners, designers, engineers, contractors, and suppliers understand each other before unclear assumptions become site problems.

We notice

We identify room, equipment, MEP, circulation, and procurement conflicts early, when they are easier and less costly to solve.

We stay close

Senior attention stays on the details from planning to installation, commissioning, and handover.

Services

What we help you make clear.

Each service focuses on reducing coordination risk, avoiding expensive late-stage changes, and helping teams make clearer project decisions earlier.

For selected healthcare developments, we can also support EPC+F project structures together with ECA-backed financing solutions.

Plan the hospital before drawings take over

We help define departments, rooms, typical room standards, and space needs before the project becomes locked into drawings that are costly to change.

Make design decisions around real hospital use

We review layouts from the perspective of patients, staff, materials, equipment, and daily operation, not only visual presentation.

Connect equipment, rooms and building services

We coordinate medical equipment, furniture, wall elevations, electrical needs, and mechanical requirements so site teams work from clearer information.

Support procurement with unbiased specifications

We prepare practical equipment specifications and help compare quotations with attention to quality, completeness, service, and long-term usability.
