Coordinating a live clinic refurbishment out of hours
A private clinic needed a full refurbishment of its imaging and treatment floors, but the facility could not close, so every new service route had to be coordinated against existing conditions before a single overnight work window was booked.

Project overview
Coordinating a refurbishment the clinic could never close for
A private clinic needed a full refurbishment of its imaging and treatment floors, but the facility could not close, so every new service route had to be coordinated against existing conditions before a single overnight work window was booked.
We modeled the existing building from scan data, federated it with the new design and ran three rounds of clash detection, chairing coordination meetings that closed each round conflict list before the next overnight session was scheduled.
Survey work was completed across three overnight weekend sessions to stay entirely outside patient facing hours.
This project was delivered through our clash detection and coordination service. See more healthcare work on our industry page.

Inputs and deliverables
What we received and what we handed back
A clear record of the data that came in and the files that went out.
Project inputs
- Scan data captured across 3 overnight weekend sessions
- New MEP and architectural design intent model from the client design team
- Infection control and patient privacy access protocol
- Existing as built drawings, incomplete and unreliable
Deliverables
- Federated existing conditions model at LOD 350
- 3 rounds of clash detection with a prioritised BCF issue list
- Chaired coordination meeting minutes and action log
- Final zero clash sign off model
- As built record for the clinic facilities file
Key outcomes
Four hundred open clashes closed in three rounds
Zero clinic closures
Every survey and review fitted around live patient hours
18 out of hours sessions
Completed on schedule with no rework once work began on site
Business impact
A full floor refurbishment with zero patient facing closures
Coordinating on screen rather than on site let the clinic complete a full imaging and treatment floor refurbishment without a single day of patient facing closure, protecting the facility revenue and reputation throughout the works.
Zero patient facing closures during refurbishment
Over 400 clashes resolved before site work began
Facility revenue protected throughout the programme
“Every session started with a shorter list than the last. By the time contractors were on site there was nothing left to argue about.”
