Abstract:
Changes in the scope of any health care construction project are inevitable. They happen for a number of reasons, including pressure from doctors and staff. While some are justified by factors that influence space requirements, such as changing market needs, new physicians or new technology, others inflate the cost of a construction project without adding significant benefits.
