Medical Office Construction
Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Medical and dental office build-outs are more infrastructure-heavy than they appear. The plumbing, mechanical, and specialty systems behind the walls are what control the project — and the schedule. We've built healthcare facilities across Palm Beach County and understand what's required.

Most people think medical and dental offices are just nicer offices — until they actually build one. The part everyone notices is the cabinetry and finishes. The part that quietly controls the entire project is the plumbing. A dental office alone can require vacuum systems, compressed air lines, floor sinks, sterilization equipment, chair rough-ins, and emergency eyewash stations, all requiring tight trade coordination. A medical office with exam rooms, procedure spaces, or imaging adds additional layers of mechanical, electrical, and structural requirement.
We've worked on healthcare facilities including CSL Plasma locations, chiropractic offices, dental studios, and a large assisted living restoration after Hurricane Ian covering 224 rooms, corridors, and dining areas rebuilt under extreme time pressure. On one medical project, a client added two treatment rooms mid-design — on paper, a small change. In practice, those two rooms triggered additional plumbing loads, electrical panel revisions, HVAC redistribution, ADA clearance changes, and medical gas routing revisions. One decision affected every trade on the job. That's what makes healthcare construction different: almost nothing exists independently.
Medical build-outs in Palm Beach County run in the $250–$350 per sq ft range for most specialty types — similar to restaurants, but for completely different reasons. The cost is in the systems behind the walls, not the finishes on top of them. A contractor who doesn't understand that going in will be learning it at the client's expense. We've done the learning already.
Palm Beach Gardens runs one of the more active commercial permit pipelines in the county. PGA Boulevard is the main commercial artery — medical, restaurant, retail, and corporate campuses line it from I-95 to Jog Road. Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center anchors a significant healthcare corridor that keeps medical and dental office construction consistently busy. The City of Palm Beach Gardens Building Department has a defined review process that contractors who know it can navigate efficiently. We work this market regularly.

Why Choose Pajaziti & Associates for Medical Construction in Palm Beach Gardens
Medical build-outs require a GC who thinks ahead — not just about what's on the drawings today, but about what the practice needs operationally after opening and whether the infrastructure being built now supports that. We flag scope change implications immediately: if you want to add treatment rooms mid-design, we tell you exactly what trades are affected and what it costs before anyone touches a wall. No surprises at the end. Clients in healthcare construction say they felt heard throughout the process — and in medical construction specifically, that communication is what keeps the project on track and on budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our construction services in this area.
What special requirements apply to medical office construction in Florida?
Medical office construction in Florida is subject to Florida Building Code Chapter 4 healthcare occupancy requirements, AHCA (Agency for Health Care Administration) licensing standards for certain facility types, ADA accessibility requirements, and HIPAA privacy design considerations. Specific requirements include exam room sound isolation, clinical handwashing sink locations, medical gas rough-in for treatment rooms, and HVAC systems designed for healthcare occupancy pressure relationships.
Do you build AHCA-licensed medical facilities?
We build to AHCA facility standards for medical practices that require AHCA licensure — including outpatient surgical centers, pain management clinics, and certain specialty practices. AHCA plan review is conducted separately from the building department permit, and we coordinate both review processes simultaneously to avoid sequential delays.
How long does medical office construction take?
A medical office tenant improvement typically runs 10–16 weeks from permit issuance to CO, depending on the complexity of clinical infrastructure — exam room counts, imaging room shielding, procedure room MEP, and medical gas systems. AHCA plan review, where required, adds a parallel approval timeline that should begin concurrent with the building permit submittal.
Do you install medical gas systems?
Medical gas rough-in — piping for oxygen, vacuum, nitrous oxide, and compressed air — is included in our construction scope for medical office build-outs requiring it. Medical gas system installation, testing, and certification is performed by a licensed medical gas installer per NFPA 99 standards, coordinated by us as part of the overall MEP scope.
