Healthcare Construction in Devon: Meeting the Industry’s Unique Needs

Building Spaces That Support Care, Healing, and Innovation

Delivering construction projects for the healthcare sector isn’t like building anything else. Hospitals, clinics, GP surgeries, and care facilities all have highly specific design, safety, and compliance requirements — and every detail matters.

At Fifields Construction, we specialise in healthcare construction across Devon and the South West, combining deep technical knowledge with a practical understanding of how these environments function day to day.

⚙️ Understanding Healthcare Construction

Healthcare buildings must meet strict clinical, operational, and regulatory standards, often while remaining live and operational.

That means construction partners must balance:

• Safety and infection control — protecting patients, staff, and visitors.

• Precision scheduling — working around live healthcare operations.

• Compliance with NHS and HTM (Health Technical Memoranda) regulations.

• Durability and hygiene — using materials that can be easily cleaned and maintained.

• Future flexibility — allowing facilities to adapt to evolving healthcare needs.

Every healthcare project, from a hospital extension to a new dental surgery, must deliver not just a building — but a space that enhances care delivery and supports the wellbeing of everyone inside.

🧱 Our Expertise in Healthcare Construction Devon

We’ve delivered a range of healthcare projects across Devon and the wider South West — from community clinics and hospital refurbishments to specialist care and mental health facilities.

Our experience includes:

• New-build and extension works for NHS Trusts and private practices.

• Sensitive refurbishments in live hospital environments.

• Fire-stopping, compartmentation, and safety compliance works.

• Specialist flooring, lighting, and M&E integration for medical use.

• Sustainable, low-carbon solutions designed for long-term value.

We understand the pressure healthcare clients face — tight budgets, essential services, and strict programme deadlines. That’s why our approach focuses on collaboration, communication, and control.

👷‍♀️ How We Deliver for Healthcare Clients

1. Collaboration from Day One

We work closely with healthcare estates teams, architects, and facilities managers to fully understand the operational constraints of each site.

From pre-construction planning to final handover, our team coordinates every detail — ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing services.

2. Health & Safety First

All our site operatives are trained to work in sensitive, live environments — following robust infection-control protocols and using specialist dust and noise management techniques.

3. Sustainability & Lifecycle Focus

We prioritise long-term efficiency through energy-saving designs, sustainable materials, and BREEAM-aligned practices — supporting NHS Net Zero goals and helping clients reduce running costs.

4. Transparent Communication

Weekly updates, real-time progress tracking, and a single point of contact give our healthcare clients confidence and control throughout the project lifecycle.

🌿 Healthcare Construction for the Future

The healthcare landscape is evolving rapidly — and so are the facilities that support it. From digital integration to modular design, today’s healthcare spaces must be adaptable, efficient, and environmentally responsible.

Whether it’s upgrading hospital infrastructure, creating new GP practices, or delivering modern care facilities, our team has the experience and expertise to deliver — on time, on budget, and with care.
