Civil work, installations and medical-grade finishes for healthcare units in Akumal, built against the room schedule that health regulation requires — not the other way round.
Akumal has small but sharply defined demand: immediate care for a dispersed residential community, for the hotels around the bay and for diving, which here is a daily activity rather than an occasional one. The viable model is a compact urgent-care and consulting unit, equipped to stabilise and transfer rather than to treat at length.
We do the civil work and the full fit-out: layout, partitions, seamless washable finishes, hydro-sanitary and electrical installations, air conditioning with whatever filtration each area requires, lighting, fixed joinery, stainless steel fixtures and the biohazard waste store. What we do not sign is the medical gas pipeline or the radiological shielding: those are executed and certified by an accredited specialist, and the contract should say so. We build around them and we program their testing into the schedule.
Depending on the activity, the unit needs either a notice of operation or a health licence, with a designated sanitary responsible, and imaging adds registration plus a radiological safety report. The premises are assessed against those requirements, so an attractive unit with narrow circulation or no dirty-to-clean separation simply is not authorised. Bring the regulatory consultant in at concept stage — not once there are walls.

Ranges for civil work, installations and medical-grade finishes, excluding medical equipment. The items that move the total most are filtered air conditioning, continuous-surface finishes and the special installations. Shielding and medical gas are quoted separately because a certified specialist executes them.
The plan is organised by flow: patient, staff, clean supply and dirty return, without crossing where regulation forbids it. Sterilisation is designed with separate dirty and clean zones and one-way movement. The temporary store for biohazard waste must be isolated, ventilated, impermeable, signed, and on a route that does not cross patient areas — and you need a licensed collection contractor before you open. It is a small room that, when it is missing from the plan, forces half the floor to be rebuilt.
It belongs to the municipality of Tulum and inherits its environmental demands, with the added sensitivity of the bay and the cenote systems: waste handling and drainage are examined more closely than inland. The local trade base is thin, so the crew travels in from Playa del Carmen as a unit.
The building is constructed around specific machines, not categories: every model carries its own requirements for space, weight, power, water, drainage and ventilation. That is why we ask for the signed equipment list before closing installations. We coordinate the medical gas contractor, the shielding specialist, the stainless fabricator and the equipment supplier, and hand over verified provisions so installation does not mean opening finished walls.
