Medical Office Building Construction (MOB): Design-Build & CM Done Right

Partner with Broad Reach Construction to align delivery method, scope, and budget—and keep your MOB project moving from pre-con to turnover without surprises.

MOB Building Construction

Broad Reach Construction delivers medical office buildings that open on schedule, pass inspections, and support efficient clinical workflows.
Our commitment is to ensure that every project reflects our dedication to quality and meets the specific needs of healthcare providers.
Whether you choose Design-Build for speed and cost alignment or Construction Management (CM) for transparent budgets and competitive trade coverage, we’ll recommend the best path based on risk, complexity, and timeline.

Design-Build vs.
Understanding the nuances of each approach can help you make an informed decision that aligns with your project’s objectives.
Construction Management—What’s Right for Your MOB?

  • Design-Build: A single, accountable team compresses schedules, aligns design decisions with real-time pricing, and reduces change orders.

  • Construction Management: Open-book budgeting, broad trade coverage, and early cost/schedule visibility—ideal when owner control and market competition are priorities.

.
By carefully considering the specific requirements of your medical office building, we deliver tailored solutions that enhance patient care and operational efficiency.

When to Choose Design-Build vs. Construction Management

    • Design-Build (DB): Single point of accountability, accelerated decisions, early cost certainty, and tight design–construction alignment—ideal for standardized clinics, repeatable suites, or schedule-driven work.

    • Construction Management (CM): Open-book budgets, robust bid coverage, owner visibility, and flexibility to manage complex scopes—ideal for multi-tenant MOBs, phased renovations, or projects with evolving requirements.

Pre-Construction to Turnover: Our MOB Process

Pre-Construction & Planning

Programming and test fits, initial layouts, code review, budget validation, and schedule mapping. We identify long-lead materials (casework, specialty doors, RTUs/switchgear), coordinate with AHJs, and set clear phasing for occupied facilities.

Construction with ICRA & Clinical Continuity

We build to healthcare standards in active sites using ICRA plans, containment and negative pressure, clean/dirty routing, HEPA filtration, noise/vibration controls, and after-hours/weekend work as needed—so patient care continues safely.

MEP, Med Gas & Technology Integration

Right-sized HVAC, electrical distribution with emergency power, medical gas and vacuum, domestic water quality, and low-voltage/IT (nurse call, access/security). Where applicable, we coordinate shielding and vendor requirements for imaging or procedure spaces.

Turnover & Day-One Readiness

We manage commissioning, end-user training, punch-list closeout, and as-built/operations documentation so your team can occupy confidently. Where applicable, we coordinate medical gas & healthcare MEP verification and OEM sign-offs.

Pre-Con to Turnover: Our Medical Office Building Process

Interiors: ~8–16 weeks for typical MOB build-outs; base-building scope runs longer.
Cost variables: MEP intensity, casework/millwork, finish level, equipment interfaces (e.g., imaging/shielding where applicable), infection-control requirements, and schedule constraints.

Regional Coverage & Rapid Mobilization (Pennsylvania & NEPA)

We serve Pennsylvania statewide with a strong focus on NEPA—Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, Hazleton, Allentown, and Bethlehem—leveraging the I-81/I-80/I-78 corridors for efficient logistics, staffing, and vendor access. Engage Broad Reach Construction for MOB projects that open on schedule and pass inspections the first time.

3 Most Asked Questions

Is Design-Build faster for medical office buildings?
Often yes. Unified design and construction compress decisions and procurement, reducing changes and delays.

How do you handle ICRA in active facilities?
Negative air/containment, clean/dirty routing, HEPA filtration, and phased work minimize disruption and maintain safety.

What drives MOB cost the most?
MEP intensity, casework, finish level, equipment integration, and schedule constraints are the major levers.
