Healthcare design and construction

Creating.
Renewing.
Healthcare environments.

Renovations and new construction for hospitals, health systems and medical practices, led by an ASHE Certified Healthcare Constructor with over 30 years of healthcare experience.

What we do

One team for design and construction

Healthcare projects are time-sensitive and management-intensive. Exigent was created to take that burden off your administration and facilities staff.

Pre-construction

Cost estimating, scheduling, procurement, value engineering, logistics and site safety planning, so every project starts with clear goals and a concise plan.

Construction

General contracting and construction management focused entirely on healthcare: urgent care, surgery, imaging, medical office and hospital work.

Design-build

Over 30 years of healthcare design and construction experience under one contract, with a trusted team of architects and engineers.
