What We Build

Every Room. Every Wing. Every Building.

A single-partner construction team for healthcare owners — from a single isolation-room retrofit to a ground-up ambulatory surgery center. Bonded, insured, prevailing-wage ready, and paired with the Sterile Mate supply chain the moment the building opens.

Negative-pressure retrofits and full patient-room builds — HEPA-scrubbed anterooms, med-gas headwalls, sound-attenuated wall assemblies, nurse-call rough-in, and infection-control (ICRA/PCRA) barriers throughout construction. Every room delivered turnover-ready with TDLR / TDSHS documentation and pressure-differential balancing reports.

Turn-key OR builds and refresh work — ceiling-mounted equipment booms, integration racks, laminar-flow HVAC, LED surgical lights, epoxy or welded-seam flooring, and stainless steel or MediRail wall protection. Coordinated with medical-planning teams and equipment vendors for a single hand-off.

Complete ambulatory surgery center and medical office building programs delivered under our Winfrey Real-Estate Development partnership — commercial advisory, site selection, zoning and entitlement, feasibility, design, construction, and licensure. One accountable team from raw land to first patient.

Two-tier SPD suites with proper zone separation, boom-fed pre-wash sinks, ultrasonic pits, floor-mounted washers, sealed pass-throughs, RO-water skids, and clean-side high-shelf sterile storage. Delivered ready for AAMI ST79 workflow validation.

ISO 7 / ISO 8 clean-room builds — HEPA plenum ceilings, seamless coved flooring, hazardous-drug ante rooms, differential-pressure gauges, integrated pass-throughs, and appropriate exhaust for hazardous compounding. Delivered certification-ready.

AAMI-compliant water for sterile processing and dialysis, medical-gas manifolds and alarms, steam and condensate systems, redundant HVAC with proper redundancy sequencing. Design-assist or full design-build across all MEP disciplines.

Ligature-resistant hardware and fixtures, tamper-proof plumbing trim, private psychiatric holding rooms, and specialized NICU / nursery buildouts with proper light and acoustic control. Experienced with the full spectrum of specialty-care code requirements.

Licensed electricians, plumbers, and HVAC technicians on standby for hospital after-hours emergencies — union and merit-shop bench with the credentials required to work in an active clinical environment.

Nights, weekends, and phased-swing renovations inside occupied clinical space. Dust-tight ICRA barriers, temporary partitions, HEPA scrubbers, negative-pressure engineering controls, and zero disruption to patient care.

Every capability above is delivered by our in-house healthcare-construction team in partnership with Winfrey Real Estate Development. Tap any card for the full scope description.

Sterile Mate Healthcare Water Purification System

Core Specialty

Healthcare Water Purification

Sterile Mate is, first and foremost, a healthcare water purification specialist. Our four-discipline GC crew below exists to back every water install — one accountable contractor, one compliance trail.

AAMI ST108 critical water room install

AAMI ST108

Critical Water for SPD

Engineered to meet the new AAMI ST108 quality categories for sterile processing — utility through critical water.

  • Reverse Osmosis skids sized for SPD load
  • Deionization Tank Exchange Program — scheduled swap, audit-ready logs
  • Distribution loops, recirc, sample ports, sterilizer tie-ins
Facility-wide utility water treatment and softening

Utility Water

Incoming City Water Treatment

Most municipal water arrives loaded with hardness, chloramines, and TDS that destroy equipment over time.

  • Facility-Wide Softening — protect boilers, autoclaves, kitchens, ice machines, cooling towers
  • Isolated / Zone Softening — treat just the rooms that need it (SPD, OR, dietary, dialysis)
  • Carbon filtration, scale & chloramine removal, pre-treatment for RO

THE ENHANCEMENT — FOUR-DISCIPLINE GC CREW

Four Disciplines. One Contractor.

The water specialty is the lead. The GC crew is what makes every install finish on schedule, on permit, and on budget.

Electrical Services

Electrical Services

Our licensed electricians specialize in healthcare-grade electrical systems — panel upgrades, medical equipment wiring, emergency power, and code-compliant installations.

Plumbing Services

Plumbing Services

Master plumbers building and maintaining critical healthcare systems — sterile processing water, gas piping, medical gas, and backflow prevention.

Construction & Buildout

Construction & Buildout

Full room buildouts, patient area remodels, new construction, and facility expansions. Framing, drywall, flooring, medical-grade finishes.

Repairs & Maintenance

Repairs & Maintenance

Hospitals never close — and neither do we. Emergency leaks, gas repairs, electrical outages, and urgent facility issues handled with compliance and speed.

HEALTHCARE COMPLIANCE

Why Standard Contractors Fail in Healthcare

Working in a hospital is fundamentally different from working in a commercial building. Patient safety, infection control, air quality, noise restrictions, and regulatory compliance create a set of requirements that most general contractors simply don't understand.

ICRA Compliant

Infection Control Risk Assessment — all classes (I-IV)

ILSM Certified

Interim Life Safety Measures always in place

Full Background Checks

Healthcare-level vetting, badging, and clearance

OSHA Healthcare

Healthcare-specific safety standards, not just general OSHA

Joint Commission Ready

Documentation and processes built for audit readiness

Infection Control Barriers

HEPA filtration + negative pressure containment

Healthcare Facility
Did You Know?

A standard contractor entering a hospital without ICRA compliance can trigger a Joint Commission citation, shut down a patient area, or compromise infection control — potentially costing a health system millions in fines, remediation, and patient harm.

HEALTHCARE INFRASTRUCTURE LEADERSHIP

A Senior Team Purpose-Built for Hospital Construction

Sterile Mate's Healthcare Infrastructure division is led by senior professionals whose combined experience spans commercial real estate advisory, municipal zoning, hospital construction, industrial builds, and permit expediting. Every large project is driven end-to-end by this in-house team — not handed off to strangers.

Project Manager & Owner’s Representative

Commercial Property Advisor

Zoning Chair on a Gulf Coast municipality with authority-having-jurisdiction relationships across the region. Sits at the intersection of ownership representation, municipal approvals, and healthcare facility development. Runs each capital project as single point of accountability.

Senior General Contractors

Multi-Discipline GC Leadership

Veteran general contractors with delivered portfolios spanning commercial healthcare (hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, dialysis clinics), industrial (petro-chem, water treatment, food processing), and institutional builds. Full self-perform crews plus vetted subcontractor bench.

Architects On Team

Licensed Architects & Designers

In-house and partner-firm architects for healthcare programming, TDLR / TDSHS / AHJ code review, life-safety plan production, and coordination with medical planners. Design-build ready when the health system needs a single-source contract.

Permit & Approvals

Permit Consultants & Expeditors

Dedicated permit consultants managing local, state, and federal approvals — city building, MEP, health department, fire marshal, TDLR, and TDSHS. Familiar with Harris Health, HCA, Memorial Hermann, and VA facility submission workflows.

One Team. One Contract. One Point of Accountability.

When a health system engages Sterile Mate for a capital project, they get a single-source integrated team: the property advisor / project manager, senior GCs, licensed architects, and permit consultants — all working from the same schedule, the same budget, and the same set of drawings. No finger-pointing between disciplines. No dropped baton between design and construction.
