Strategic
Facility Planning
Hammes Company has significant expertise in facility planning and has conducted more than 70 facility planning and feasibility studies. While traditional master facility plans are driven by "wish lists" of various user groups or department heads, Hammes Company employs a "top down" planning approach to master facility planning. The Company's approach is driven by the strategic and business plans of the healthcare provider. Hammes Company works with the healthcare provider to identify future service needs, expected market share and utilization, medical staff development objectives, volume projections, and bed need.
Judicious use of capital requires a disciplined master facility planning approach that integrates early accurate development cost planning. Hammes Company's extensive database of information related to the detailed costs associated with the development of healthcare facilities permits it to provide reliable and accurate estimates of project capital costs early in the facility planning process. Hammes Company's strategic facility planning process emphasizes development if a capital cost model concurrent with the probable space program objective, thus avoiding master facility plans that are beyond the financial constraints and capabilities of a hospital or health system. These key inputs are then used to drive the space program and plan for the institution that provides a business-based allocation of space and resources.
