Hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centres built around the people who use them — patients, families, and the clinicians who serve them.
Message on WhatsAppGround-up hospitals, diagnostic centres, specialty clinics — each built around its brief, its site, and its community.
Every hospital project in India involves multiple overlapping approvals. Message us on WhatsApp and we’ll walk you through any of these — in context, not as a PDF.
India’s primary hospital accreditation standard. NABH sets design requirements for ICU bay sizes, infection control zoning, handwashing stations, and nurse call systems. Planning for NABH from day one avoids expensive retrofits.
Get NABH ChecklistRequired for any facility operating X-ray, CT, MRI, or radiation therapy. AERB approval takes 6–12 months. Apply the moment your floor plan is finalised — room shielding design must meet AERB specs before construction begins.
Get AERB GuideRequired for diagnostic laboratories. NABL has specific design requirements for lab layout, specimen flow, ventilation, and waste segregation. If your hospital includes a pathology lab, this accreditation will affect your floor plan.
Get NABL ChecklistHospitals are high-occupancy, vulnerable-population buildings. Requirements include staircase widths, fire door ratings, sprinkler systems, smoke detection zones, and emergency lighting. Must align with NBC 2016 norms.
Get Fire NOC ChecklistMandatory registration for any facility operating ultrasound equipment. The design of the ultrasound room, its signage, and access control are all part of the audit checklist.
Get PCPNDT GuideHospitals require dedicated HT/LT connections, DG backup, and uninterrupted power for critical areas. CEA compliance governs substation design, earthing, and electrical load calculations.

Timelines vary by state. Some approvals run in parallel; others are sequential. Your architect’s drawing set needs to satisfy each authority’s format requirements — this is often where delays happen.
Building a hospital is among the most complex construction projects in any category. These are the questions we hear most often — answered plainly.
Have a specific question? Ask on WhatsApp →Our design philosophy for healthcare projects is rooted in three principles — drawn from nearly two decades of work on hospitals and clinics across India.
The clinical feel of most hospitals is a failure of design, not a functional requirement. We design spaces that reduce anxiety, support recovery, and make the hospital a place people trust — family waiting areas adjacent to ICUs, barrier-free access, wayfinding built into the architecture itself.
Clean, dirty, sterile, and general zones must be spatially separated from the first drawing. Staff routes distinct from patient routes. One-way flows in critical areas. These are the architectural logic of a hospital that works safely — designed in, never retrofitted.
Anti-viral laminates for interior panels. Non-porous tile finishes that resist mold. Low-E double-glazed windows for thermal comfort and noise control. Corian counters — seamless, easy to sanitise. Good material decisions reduce maintenance costs and infection risk simultaneously.
