Medical Facilities Construction Completed for Veterinary Clinic Tenant Fit Out in Horsham, PA
Transforming an existing retail space into a fully operational medical facility requires detailed planning, experienced construction management, and precise coordination across multiple trades. We recently completed The Pet Clinic project in Horsham, PA, serving as the General Contractor for a comprehensive tenant fit out that converted a former pizza restaurant into a full-service veterinary clinic.
This project demonstrates our expertise in medical facilities construction, particularly for specialized healthcare environments that demand strict attention to layout, functionality, and long-term performance.
Project Overview
The Pet Clinic project involved the adaptive reuse of a stand-alone commercial building within an active retail setting. The client’s goal was to create a modern veterinary facility capable of supporting exams, imaging, surgery, and client services—all within a space that was never originally designed for medical use.
- Project Location: Horsham, PA
- Building Type: Stand-alone commercial center
- Client Type: Veterinary / Medical
- Project Delivery: Construction management service
Our role as General Contractor was to manage the full transformation of the space while ensuring the finished facility met the operational needs of a high-functioning veterinary practice.
Scope of Work
As General Contractor, we provided complete tenant fit out services, overseeing all phases of construction from initial planning through final turnover. The scope of work required extensive interior reconfiguration and careful coordination of systems to support medical functions.
Key elements of the project included:
- Interior demolition and reconfiguration of the former restaurant space
- Construction of surgical suites, exam rooms, imaging rooms, and waiting areas
- Installation of finishes and materials appropriate for medical environments
- Coordination of mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and specialty trades
- Quality control, inspections, and final commissioning
This type of work aligns closely with the requirements of medical facilities construction and highlights our ability to deliver complex interior renovations through disciplined execution.
Construction Management and Planning
Medical and veterinary facilities require a higher level of coordination than typical retail construction. Early in the process, our team developed clear construction sequencing and realistic conceptual estimates to manage construction costs and avoid disruptions during critical installation phases.
Our construction management service focused on proactive scheduling, trade coordination, and ongoing communication with the client to ensure that each space was constructed to support clinical workflows. These same principles are applied across our wide range of construction services, from healthcare projects to office buildings and other commercial facilities.
Challenges and Solutions
One of the primary challenges of this project was converting a food service space into a medical environment with vastly different infrastructure requirements. The building’s existing layout and systems had to be adapted to accommodate surgical facilities, imaging equipment, and multiple exam rooms.
We addressed these challenges by:
- Carefully sequencing demolition and build-out activities
- Coordinating early with specialty trades to support medical systems
- Ensuring clear separation between public, staff, and clinical areas
- Maintaining strict quality control throughout construction
This approach allowed the project team to efficiently navigate the complexities associated with building renovation services for healthcare-related uses.
Results and Outcome
The completed Pet Clinic facility provides a functional, well-organized environment designed to support both patient care and client experience. The new layout allows veterinary staff to operate efficiently while providing a welcoming and professional setting for pet owners.
Project outcomes included:
- Successful conversion of a former restaurant into a medical facility
- High-quality construction suited for veterinary operations
- Effective coordination of all interior trades
- A finished space aligned with the client’s operational goals
The project reflects the value of experienced construction management when delivering specialized medical environments.
