Hospital Building Design Services
A hospital is the most complex building most owners ever commission. Departments must be placed by clinical flow, clean and dirty routes kept apart, theatres kept sterile, and dozens of services fitted into ceilings without clashes. ACCO's hospital building design services bring architects, structural engineers and MEP engineers together from day one, as hospital building design consultants who also build what they design.
🏥 Hospital Architecture & Planning
Hospital architecture and planning: functional brief, department adjacencies, patient, staff, visitor and supply flows. See hospital architecture design.
🏛️ Healthcare Facility Architecture

📐 Hospital Planning Consultants
As hospital planning consultants in Pakistan, we prepare feasibility studies, bed mix, space programmes and phasing plans.
Hospital Master Planning & Site Development
Hospital master planning and site development sets the hospital up for decades of growth:
- Separate entrances for OPD, emergency, ambulances, staff, services and mortuary
- Parking, drop-off and helipad provision where needed
- Service yards for generators, transformers, medical gas plant, water tanks and waste
- Expansion zones and phasing so the hospital can grow while operating
- Site works: roads, drainage, external lighting, boundary and landscaping

🚑 Emergency Department Design
Emergency department design with ambulance bays, triage, resuscitation, trauma and observation areas, and a direct link to imaging, theatres and ICU. See emergency department design.
🩻 Radiology & Diagnostic Department Planning
Radiology and diagnostic department planning for X-ray, CT, MRI, ultrasound and mammography, with radiation shielding, MRI RF shielding and equipment-specific structure and cooling. See diagnostic imaging centre architecture.
🧪 Laboratory Design & Construction
Laboratory design and construction with chemical-resistant benches, sample reception, clean and dirty workflows, fume hoods and biosafety cabinets where required, and reliable power and data.
♻️ CSSD Department Design
CSSD department design with a one-way flow from dirty receiving to washing, packing, sterilising and clean storage, with pass-through washers and autoclaves.
💊 Hospital Pharmacy Design
Hospital pharmacy design with secure storage, controlled-drug rooms, cold chain, dispensing counters and links to wards. See pharmacy placement.
Hospital Ward & Patient Room Planning
Hospital ward and patient room planning shapes the patient experience and nursing efficiency:
- General wards, semi-private and private rooms in the right mix
- Nurse stations with sightlines to rooms
- Bedhead panels with medical gases, power, nurse call and lighting
- Attached accessible bathrooms and handwash basins
- Daylight, quiet and easy-clean finishes
Infection Control & Hospital Zoning
Infection control and hospital zoning is designed into the building, not added later: separate clean and dirty corridors and lifts, airlocks and pressure regimes for OTs and isolation rooms, handwash points at every care area, seamless antibacterial surfaces, and HVAC filtration and air changes to recognised healthcare ventilation standards such as ASHRAE 170. See hospital HVAC and infection control.
Hospital Structural Engineering & MEP
Hospital Structural Engineering
Hospital structural engineering to the Building Code of Pakistan seismic provisions, with heavier floor loads for imaging equipment, vibration control, shielding loads and large service openings. See hospital structural design.
Hospital MEP Design & Installation
Our hospital MEP design services and installation cover HVAC, medical gases, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, nurse call, low-current systems and BMS, coordinated in 3D. MEP is typically 25–35% of hospital project cost. See hospital MEP systems.
Hospital Electrical & Plumbing Services
Hospital electrical and plumbing services: standby generators with automatic changeover, UPS and isolated power for critical areas, hot and cold water, RO and treated water for dialysis and CSSD, and drainage with special waste handling.
HVAC, Medical Ventilation & Medical Gas Pipeline Systems
HVAC & Medical Ventilation Systems
HVAC and medical ventilation systems with HEPA filtration, controlled air changes and pressure for OTs, ICUs, isolation rooms, CSSD and labs, plus energy-efficient chillers or VRF for general areas.
Hospital Medical Gas Pipeline Systems
Hospital medical gas pipeline systems for oxygen, medical air, vacuum and nitrous oxide: manifold rooms, copper pipelines, zone valve boxes, alarms and bedhead outlets, designed to HTM 02-01 principles, then tested and certified. See medical gas pipeline systems.
Hospital Fire Safety & Life Safety Systems
Patients often cannot evacuate themselves, so hospitals use a "defend in place" strategy. ACCO's hospital fire safety and life safety systems include fire compartments and smoke zones, horizontal evacuation routes, fire-rated doors, sprinklers, hydrants, addressable fire alarm, smoke control and emergency lighting, designed with reference to NFPA and the Building Code of Pakistan fire safety provisions. See firefighting and emergency evacuation systems.
Hospital Interior Design & Finishing
Hospital interior design and finishing and hospital building finishing services use materials that support infection control and survive heavy use: seamless vinyl and epoxy floors with coved skirting, antibacterial wall panels, cleanroom ceilings in OTs, impact protection in corridors, calm colours and clear way-finding. See hospital interior design and finishing.
Hospital Equipment Planning & Space Coordination
Hospital equipment planning and space coordination makes sure each room fits its equipment: room sizes, ceiling heights, floor loads, power, data, water, drainage, cooling and shielding for every major item, from CT scanners and autoclaves to ICU pendants. Medical equipment typically represents 20–35% of project cost, so coordinating it early avoids expensive rework. See hospital equipment planning.
Hospital Construction Cost per Bed & BOQ
Hospital construction cost per bed in Pakistan (2026-27) varies with the level of care and specification:
| Hospital type | Estimated cost per bed (PKR) |
|---|---|
| Basic rural hospital | 4.5 – 6 million |
| Mid-level private hospital | 6 – 8 million |
| High-end hospital | 8 – 12 million |
| Specialised ICU setup | 10 – 15 million |
By area, hospital construction in Pakistan typically ranges from about PKR 7,500 to 22,000 per sq ft, excluding land and medical equipment. OT, ICU and radiology areas can add 15–30% to the cost of those zones.
Hospital BOQ & Construction Cost Estimation
ACCO's hospital BOQ and construction cost estimation breaks your project into civil, finishing, MEP, medical gases, specialist rooms and external works, with item-wise quantities and current rates, so you can plan financing and compare options. See hospital construction cost per bed, hospital construction planning and cost guide and hospital BOQ and feasibility study.
Indicative figures from ACCO's 2026-27 cost guides; final cost depends on location, bed mix, services, specification and imported items.
