Sonoran Crest Construction
An End-to-End Partner for Robust Healthcare Construction Projects

According to GlobalData, global healthcare construction projects are valued at $632.2 billion, with North America occupying the most considerable portion of the market. However, the onset of COVID-19 and resulting inflation disrupted the construction of cutting-edge care facilities. Most prominently, material procurement, equipment source visibility, licensure, accreditation, and commissioning issues, coupled with the shortage of skilled labor, hinder the timely and cost-effective construction of healthcare buildings and tenant improvement projects.

Delivering optimum solutions to the healthcare construction space, Sonoran Crest Construction provides value through its specialized group of architects, engineers, accreditation professionals, and expert trade partners. A key player in privatized, specialty, and corporate healthcare settings, Sonoran Crest Construction emphasizes preconstruction endeavors like site selection, feasibility studies, workflow and accreditation requirements, MP&E infrastructure, procurement concerns, and guiding logistics of existing infrastructure modifications.

This approach gives Sonoran Crest an understanding of potential delays to proactively manage construction materials, enabling a fluid, efficient, and seamless execution. Before commencing any construction processes, Sonoran Crest holistically evaluates projects from a preconstruction perspective and deploys solutions that curb the material, supply chain, and demand challenges on time and cost efficiently. They work with architects and engineers in the initial design phases to guide them towards available or alternate construction materials, perform preliminary pricing, and deploy built-to-suit solutions for every project and ensure its long-term success.

“From project concept through completion, we believe in proactive collaboration with project stake-holders to provide valuable construction solutions for clients pursuing their surgical center, multisite, or national construction plans,” says Jaki Scott, CEO of Sonoran Crest.

Furthermore, Sonoran Crest often helps mitigate funding and lending pinch points through its selective partnershipswith financial groups that are attune to construction lending and more specifically the timelines and complexities that exist with medical construction projects. They also leverage deep technical knowhow to help clients understand the functions, operations, equipment, and coordination requirements that impact successful construction. Sonoran Crest’s comprehensive experience supporting surgical, pharmaceutical, hospital, microhospital, dental, imaging, and healthcare buildouts produces functional outcomes while honoring schedules and budgets with value-engineered alternatives.

Sonoran Crest deploys a vetting process when onboarding clients to understand project needs and expectations, provide a realistic view of the challenges, and accordingly set up timelines. It manages concept, design, pricing, collaboration, and recommendations with potential healthcare architectural firms.

A story substantiating Sonoran Crest’s impact is that of a return customer looking to expand their ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) across the U.S. In this instance, the group envisioned constructing 15 to 20 ASCs nationwide and approached Sonoran Crest to execute and help define their building standards. Sonoran Crest worked with several architects, engineering firms, and project stakeholders to develop a prototype for building standard finishes, equipment, blueprints, and layouts. This helped the group’s team understand commissioning, accreditation, and facility maintenance. Ultimately, the customer received a standardized playbook with specifications to implement the design and reliably roll out their surgical centers’ construction.

Aiming to achieve similar successes, Sonoran Crest serves as a commercial general contractor to healthcare groups, professionals, and developers in Arizona and across the Southwest U.S., including Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. Moving forward, Sonoran Crest Construction will continue to partner with healthcare providers in construction solutions that stimulate and support the creation of innovative healthcare treatments.
