The identification and supply of appropriate medical equipment is a complex operation involving liaison with architects, structural engineers, M & E consultants, clinical staff and the project management team. IHG has many years’ experience in this field and can bring financial benefit to the project through its substantial purchasing power. IHG is totally manufacturer independent, which ensures that the most appropriate, value for money equipment is selected. Medical equipment input is necessary from the earliest stage of design to ensure that the facility provides the correct envelope and range of building services to satisfy all the requirements of basic and sophisticated equipment.
