🩺 Topic Introduction: Why Feasibility Studies Matter in Hospital Projects
Before constructing a hospital, one of the most important steps is conducting a Hospital Feasibility Study.
This study helps determine whether your planned hospital project is financially viable, strategically located, technically sound, and aligned with healthcare needs.
In Pakistan — especially in major cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad — the demand for quality healthcare facilities is rising rapidly. However, many projects fail due to poor planning, unrealistic budgets, or regulatory hurdles.
That’s why ACCO Construction emphasizes conducting a comprehensive feasibility study before finalizing land, design, or investment.
🧩 Step-by-Step Guide: How to Conduct a Feasibility Study for Full Hospital Projects
1. Preliminary Assessment (Project Overview)
The first stage involves understanding the project’s purpose and objectives.
Key Steps:
Define the vision, mission, and target healthcare segment.
Identify investor goals and expected ROI.
Decide on hospital type (general, specialty, teaching, maternity, etc.).
Estimate bed capacity and size (e.g., 50-bed, 100-bed, or 250-bed).
Identify suitable land or locations.
🏗️ Example: A 100-bed specialty hospital in Lahore may focus on cardiology and emergency care for nearby urban populations.
2. Market Demand & Demographic Analysis
A successful hospital must serve a real demand. Market analysis helps identify service gaps in your chosen area.
Study Includes:
Local population, income level, and healthcare needs.
Competitor analysis – existing hospitals and clinics.
Common diseases and health trends.
Patient demographics and expected inflow.
📊 For instance: A study in DHA Lahore might reveal demand for advanced maternity and child care services, with fewer competitors in that niche.
3. Site & Location Feasibility
Selecting the right location is crucial for patient accessibility and long-term growth.
Checklist:
✅ Easy access from main roads and emergency routes.
✅ Availability of utilities (power, water, sewerage).
✅ Soil test and site stability verification.
✅ LDA zoning compliance.
✅ Room for future expansion.
🏗️ ACCO Construction conducts site evaluations and soil investigations to ensure your hospital stands on a solid foundation, both physically and strategically.
4. Functional Space Programming
This step defines how hospital spaces are organized for efficient movement and patient care.
Functional Areas Include:
OPD & Diagnostic Labs
Inpatient Wards
Operation Theatres & ICU
Emergency Department
Pharmacy, Cafeteria, Admin Offices
Staff Facilities and Parking
🏥 Goal: Create an efficient, patient-focused layout while ensuring hygiene, privacy, and infection control.
5. Financial Feasibility & Cost Analysis
A clear financial plan is the backbone of any hospital project.
Major Cost Components:
Land and site development
Architectural and engineering design
Civil and structural works
MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) systems
Finishing and medical-grade materials
Medical equipment and IT infrastructure
Regulatory fees and permits
📈 Example Cost Distribution:
| Category | % of Total Cost |
|---|---|
| Civil Works & Finishing | 45% |
| MEP Systems | 20% |
| Medical Equipment | 20% |
| Design & Consultancy | 5% |
| Miscellaneous / Contingency | 10% |
💡 ACCO Construction also provides Return on Investment (ROI) projections and break-even analysis, ensuring your hospital remains profitable long-term.
6. Regulatory & Legal Feasibility
Every hospital project must comply with local and national regulations.
Approvals Required:
LDA Building Plan Approval
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
Fire & Safety Clearance
Punjab Healthcare Commission (PHC) Registration
PEC (Pakistan Engineering Council) Consultant Validation
📋 ACCO’s expert team handles all approval processes, minimizing delays and ensuring compliance.
7. Technical Feasibility & Infrastructure Assessment
The next step evaluates whether the hospital can be technically implemented within the desired timeframe and budget.
Evaluation Areas:
Structural system (RCC frame or steel)
HVAC system design and capacity
Power backup (generators, solar)
Water supply, drainage, and fire safety systems
Medical gas lines and waste management
⚙️ ACCO uses advanced tools like Building Information Modeling (BIM) to visualize construction processes and detect design conflicts early.
8. Environmental & Sustainability Feasibility
Sustainable hospitals reduce operational costs and promote healthier environments.
Focus Areas:
Solar panel installation for renewable energy
Natural ventilation and daylight planning
Water recycling systems
Green areas and patient healing gardens
🌿 ACCO advocates eco-friendly hospital design principles that meet both international healthcare standards and local building codes.
9. Operational Feasibility & Staffing Plan
Hospital operations depend heavily on efficient staffing and service planning.
Key Considerations:
Human resource planning for each department
Equipment maintenance schedules
IT infrastructure for patient record management
Workflow management for patient movement
👩⚕️ ACCO partners with healthcare consultants to ensure every facility operates seamlessly from day one.
10. Final Feasibility Report & Implementation Roadmap
After completing all analyses, the feasibility report is compiled, presenting:
Market findings
Cost estimates and revenue models
Site and design recommendations
Operational strategy
Implementation timeline
📘 This final report becomes the foundation for design, financing, and construction of the hospital.
