When you’re refreshing a healthcare space, one of the first questions is: How long will we be down? The truth? It depends. The scale of your refresh—whether it’s a quick facelift or a full transformation—directly impacts your downtime. The good news? We can tailor the process to meet your needs and keep disruptions to a minimum.

📺 Watch the video below for a quick look at how project scope shapes your timeline—and how we help you open your doors again, faster.

What Impacts Downtime During a Clinic Refresh?

Project Scope Is the Biggest Factor
A simple refresh—like new finishes or updated lighting—can often be done over a weekend with minimal disruption.
A more complex refresh—such as layout changes, plumbing, or major equipment moves—will naturally require more time offline.

Design Choices Play a Role
If staying open is your top priority, we can guide you toward design decisions that minimize downtime.
On the other hand, if your goal is a complete transformation, we’ll help plan around relocation needs and construction phases.

New Builds vs. Refreshes
For brand new clinics, the focus is simple: open quickly and start seeing patients.
Refreshes require a more delicate balance between upgrading the space and maintaining patient care.

🛠️ Our Approach Is Always Tailored
Every clinic is different. We start by understanding your goals, then customize the refresh timeline to meet your needs with minimal disruption.
