ArquiSalud is an architecture studio specialised in Programme Planning, Project and Building Direction of Health Care Institutions.
It is formed by a team of architects who have a great education and long experience in health care architecture, that working with other specialists (sanitary physicians, engineers) have done important projects either for the public or private health care institutions for over forty years.
ArquiSalud has the knowledge, experience and services which will help to give you the correct answer for the building needs of your institution
We offer expertise and know how for health care facilities that is probably the most complex type of architecture.
It is conditioned by the medical attention programmes, medical equipment technologies, installations and relations about the institutional organization, and because that it is advisable to have its own project based on the needs of each institution and not an already made one.
It is very important to consider the building characteristics of a health care institution strongly determine its quality, efficiency, image, and operating and maintenance costs.
It evaluates the situation and the condition of the physical resources of an operating health care institution by making plans and data sheets, the analysis of access, circulating schemes, placing and design of services and the production data related to the installed capacity.
This institutional diagnosis will let us know which the condition of the physical resource is and if it is accordance to the demand and the production of the institution.
It characterises, qualifies and quantifies the necessary physical resources for a health care institution taking into consideration its objectives and policies, the institutional diagnosis and the expected demand.
When this stage is finished we have the programme of the complete needs including the number and dimensions of all the different departments and services, accompanied by an investment cost estimation.
The results obtained from the Programme Planning set forth, generally for an already operating health care institution, how it should be in the future.
This is done bearing in mind the policies and priorities of the building, the investment capabilities and the minimum requirements of the installations to keep the institution go on operating.
To carry out the planned spatial model the temporal sequences for work and tasks are defined with the costs for each stage.
It gives the spatial definition, generally for a new building, of the physical macrosystem based on the results from the Programme Planning.
Preliminary sketches, big area working schemes, circulating organization where several alternative solutions are defined in relation to the different conditions of the place, are made.
It ratifies, adjusts and develops the feasibility study or the corresponding stage of the Master Plan.
Structural and building definitions are adopted and basic engineering of the installations is incorporated.
As a result of all of these procedures plans, which are not still apt to be used for the building, are made. These plans will let us have an overall idea of the finished construction and a more adjusted cost estimation.
It develops the necessary building papers to carry out the building of the health care institution.
It comprises the structure, the civil work, the whole installations and the design of the carpentry and equipment.
General and detailed plans at different scales, technical data sheets, room data sheets, general bid specifications and technical specifications are presented.
Since the last technological improvements we have reconsiderer the way we develop our projects by incorporating BIM method.
The use of this tool has permitted us to design with more accuracy and promptness, dealing with architecture, structure and facilities since the beginning, evaluating facilities interferences, reducing mistakes and, subsequent, constructing costs.
In a so complex subject as ours is, the continuous coordination between the different disciplines using pre construction virtual models is fundamental to reach good project resolution, building operation and following expansions and changes that may come up.
It directs and controls the construction development of the projected building, its costs and contracts.
It is periodically checked, generally daily, to solve the doubts that may arise with the building company or its subcontractors.
It makes adjustments, due to possible changes and certifies the work done by the company.
