BuildCentral's Medical Construction Database Provides Key Market Intelligence for Hospital and Nursing Home Construction Projects

    CHICAGO, IL, June 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- BuildCentral's new Medical Construction Database (MCD) includes detailed reports on more than 4,000 medical construction projects from around the country. From medical clinic renovations to ground-up acute-care hospitals, the database tracks the full scope of medical construction. The reports include all the key information, including value, project details and key decision-maker contacts in a concise, easy-to-read format. The database provides powerful information for all medical development, construction and supply professionals.

MCD begins monitoring medical construction projects from the earliest regulatory activity, often before a Certificate of Need has been awarded. MCD follows the projects through groundbreaking, with regular updates as architects and general contractors are selected and approvals are secured. Subscribers see 400+ new and updated projects every month. With the demand for medical care of all types expected to expand significantly in the coming years, MCD is an invaluable tool for accessing this growing market.

MCD includes all types of medical construction projects. BuildCentral first reported on Stanford University's $5 billion hospital expansion in 2006, and has updated the project several times in the past five years, including six updates in 2011 alone. However, MCD also regularly reports on many smaller projects, including an $8 million nursing home in Carthage, NY and a $17 million behavioral health facility in Colorado Springs, CO. No matter what the scale or the scope of the medical project, MCD provides the most comprehensive and accurate report.

The database's dedicated medical search engine sets it apart from other construction reporting services. Projects are categorized by level of care and clinical specialty. Searchable facility categories include ambulatory surgery centers, nursing homes and acute-care hospitals. Clinical categories include cardiology, critical care and medical imaging. With this powerful search engine, subscribers can focus on the type of project most suited for their service or product.

MCD's innovative Project Q&A feature provides on-demand updates for any project in the database. If a subscriber wants the latest information on a project before contacting the decision-makers, BuildCentral's responsive and dedicated research staff will find the answer. Through the Q&A, subscribers will often find out information well before it is released to the public. "In November 2010, for example, one of our primary researchers, through persistent phone work, spoke with the owner of a $135 million cancer center in Arizona," said Mike Tomczyk, BuildCentral's Medical Research Manager. "The owner gave us the architect and general contractor on the project. That information wasn't published in Arizona's main business journal until February 2011. Our subscribers had exclusive access to those contacts for more than two months, and it definitely gave them an advantage."

BuildCentral's Medical Construction Database is an important tool for anyone involved in medical construction. Its comprehensive database, powerful search engine and clear reports give contractors and suppliers all the information they need to beat the competition and grow their bottom line.
