Medical construction in Mansfield

All three of our Mansfield projects are on or near a highway: Highway 360 or the U.S. 287 frontage road. Highway sites are easy for patients to find, but they bring work that a suite in an existing building does not: driveways and frontage road access, drainage, utility extensions, and signs that can be seen from the main lanes.

These three projects also show how much the use changes the rules. A hospital where patients stay overnight is generally built and inspected to stricter standards than a clinic. An endoscopy center is licensed by the state, which reviews the plans and inspects the building before the first procedure. An orthopedic performance clinic is closer to ordinary commercial construction. We have done each of these in Mansfield.

For a new building, the city path usually runs from plat to site plan to building permit, then inspections and a certificate of occupancy. A tenant finish-out, such as AOA Performance Institute, goes to the building permit without the plat and site plan. Our guide to building permits for a medical or dental office walks through each step. S&I schedules the city and state approvals together from the start, because the state review is often the one that sets the opening date.
