Programme and project management
Where cohesion creates success, balancing cost, quality and time
Health systems are embarking on a huge transformation, riding the biggest wave of investment in health infrastructure seen for a generation. At the same time construction methods and thinking are rapidly evolving. It’s a critical moment to seize the vast opportunities ahead.
From modern methods of construction and BIM to standardised design and intelligent hospitals, our team at Archus have proven, in depth health and construction expertise. We can ensure you optimise your investment and deliver outstanding building solutions as efficiently and cost effectively as possible.
Programmes and projects are always complex, but in healthcare the stakes are even higher. You have a multifaceted operational and stakeholder system to navigate and many competing demands on your health and care environment.
Successfully delivering projects requires a system-wide understanding of the clinical landscape, the financial framework and the characteristics of the operational estate. We have that understanding and we can translate these requirements into the most appropriate build solution for your needs.
Healthcare project specialists
With so much complexity involved, it’s all too easy to lose sight of key issues during the project lifecycle. We will carefully monitor all of the objectives and variables so the project stays on track.
By rigorously managing your programme, we will maintain a deep connection with your strategic objectives at the same time as monitoring costs and risks, providing planning support and accessing the learning and skills required for successful delivery.

Our patient-centric approach to engagement
Championing change in health construction
At Archus we’re championing a change in how modern facilities are designed and built. We know that buildings can’t keep getting bigger, and that designing and operating health buildings will play a key role in the drive to a net zero carbon future.
We share your ambition to deliver successful projects and programmes, and we seek continuous improvement, embrace new technology, and implement best practice in the health and care system.
In fact we don’t just deliver your scheme, we aim to improve it at every stage, drawing on our international experience from Canada to China on some of the largest health programmes in the world.
Industry best practice
We take a consistent approach to projects, using our step-by-step lifecycle methodology outlined below. But we also recognise that each project has its own set of unique characteristics, and we adapt our methodology accordingly. Our Programme and Project Management team bring a disciplined flexibility to your programme or project, tailoring best practice and innovation to your specific needs.

A whole life approach to project management, from inception to completion
