Hospital Construction Research
What does the data show?
What does a hospital operating room cost to build?
A data-based comparison of operating room costs and the variation between comparable hospital projects.
What is hospital construction cost per bed?
Compare the cost of inpatient capacity across hospital projects and examine the scale of variation between facilities.
How much have hospital construction costs increased?
Examine hospital project costs over time and compare what owners are paying with broader market escalation.
How much do comparable hospitals vary in construction cost?
Explore differences between comparable projects and what that variation reveals about construction outcomes.
What does hospital construction cost per square foot?
Compare hospital cost per square foot while accounting for scope, timing, location, and major building characteristics.
How much of hospital cost escalation can inflation explain?
Compare hospital construction outcomes with inflation, labor, materials, and other market inputs.
Our Approach
How we analyze the data.
Meaningful comparisons require context. Our research considers the project characteristics that materially influence cost and performance.
Real project data
Analysis begins with documented scope, quantities, cost, timing, and other measurable project characteristics.
Comparable outcomes
Location, timing, scope, function, and other project attributes are considered before drawing comparisons.
Transparent methodology
Each research page explains what is being measured, the basis for comparison, and important limitations in the available data.
RESEARCH + INSIGHTS
The data shows what is happening.
Insights explore why.
Research presents measurable findings from project and market data. Building Catalyst Insights explores what those findings may mean for owners, designers, builders, contracting, productivity, and construction reform.
