Description
Does your project need to go on a diet? Healthcare capital spending continues to rise, but we seem to be able to buy less each year. Construction spending inflation is only partly to blame; the other factor lies in a tendency to plan ever larger space for the same functions. This session enables attendees to:
•State the forces behind the recent increases in space per key indicator in healthcare projects.
•Develop a range of measures to determine whether your own project needs to go on a 'space diet'.
•Determine four key methods to prudently reduce project size and maximize your project ROI.
