Answers To Your Questions
What types of projects does APS specialize in?
APS specializes in commercial, industrial, and healthcare construction projects, including hospital expansions, renovations, tenant improvements, infrastructure, and multi-phase capital programs. We offer general contracting, construction project management, and hospital construction support services nationwide.
How does APS support healthcare construction projects differently from other contractors?
Our team has managed over 15 million square feet of acute care and ambulatory projects and is trained in ICRA, TJC, OSHPD/HCAI, Title 24, and healthcare regulatory requirements. This expertise enables us to work safely and effectively in occupied clinical environments.
What does it mean that APS is a Veteran-Owned and Operated firm?
As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), APS brings military principles—discipline, integrity, leadership, and accountability—to every project. Clients value our structured processes, transparent communication, and mission-focused execution.
Can APS support projects that are already in progress?
Yes. APS frequently joins active projects to stabilize schedules, improve documentation, reinforce leadership, enhance coordination, or provide specialized support such as staff augmentation or readiness planning for healthcare facilities.
How does APS ensure regulatory compliance on hospital projects?
Our team is experienced in interpreting and applying ICRA, TJC, OSHPD/HCAI regulations, ANSI, ASHRAE, ASTM, ADA, ISO standards, and LEED guidelines. We integrate compliance checkpoints into every stage of planning and construction to reduce risk and ensure safe operations.
What is included in APS’s Construction Project Management services?
We provide full lifecycle project leadership—scope definition, budgeting, scheduling, procurement management, stakeholder coordination, risk mitigation, compliance oversight, and close-out. Our goal is to safeguard your vision, budget, and timeline from concept to completion.
What is Staff Augmentation in healthcare construction, and when is it useful?
Staff augmentation strengthens your internal team with experienced project executives who integrate seamlessly into your workflows. It’s ideal when workload surges, complex capital programs require additional leadership, or specialized expertise is needed temporarily without increasing long-term headcount.
What is a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) and why is it important?
An FCA evaluates the current condition of buildings and systems, identifies deficiencies, and provides a multi-year capital forecast. This helps healthcare and commercial organizations plan investments, extend asset life, and prioritize maintenance using accurate, actionable data.
How does APS maintain safety on construction sites?
We follow strict OSHA and DOT guidelines, implement structured safety protocols, and train all field staff in risk prevention. Safety is built into our daily operations, site supervision, and subcontractor management to protect workers, patients, and facilities.
What information does APS need to begin a project or provide a proposal?
Typically, we request high-level project details such as scope, timeline, budget expectations, existing drawings, regulatory considerations, and the owner’s objectives. After an initial consultation, we develop a tailored plan or proposal that aligns with your project’s specific needs.
