Designing for precision, compliance and care in the health & science sector
Health and science facilities operate in some of the most regulated and complex environments of any sector. From laboratories to private medical clinics, these spaces must be safe, clean, accessible – and designed with exacting standards. From fire safety to infection control, from specialist services to future-proofing layouts for evolving technologies, BDM understands the critical importance of getting every element right,
One of the biggest challenges in this sector is balancing compliance with usability. Spaces must meet stringent standards, such as HTM guidance or CQC requirements, while remaining adaptable for evolving research, treatments and workflows. Our team works closely with clients to achieve this balance, offering practical, design-led solutions underpinned by detailed data.
We support new builds, refurbishments and live site upgrades. Our surveying and modelling services provide the accuracy needed to plan around fixed equipment, complex M&E services, or legacy infrastructure. Whether you’re repurposing a hospital ward or expanding a laboratory, we capture the detail that ensures you can plan with uncompromising detail.
Our digital twins and 3D models allow all stakeholders – clinicians, estates teams, contractors – to see the full picture before work begins. That means fewer surprises, smoother coordination, and reduced risk of costly rework or disruption.
In every project, we help clients:
- Design for compliance from day one
- Plan upgrades around clinical workflows
- Maintain accurate records for future management
- Deliver safe, resilient environments for patients and staff
BDM brings technical expertise and real-world insight to help you deliver safe, compliant and adaptable spaces. Contact the team to find out how.
