Civil work, installations and medical-grade finishes for healthcare units in Puerto Morelos, built against the room schedule that health regulation requires — not the other way round.
Puerto Morelos sits between two hospital poles: Cancún twenty minutes north and Playa del Carmen to the south. That defines the product — consulting, dentistry and minor urgent care for residents, for the hotels along the corridor and for the diving community, with fast referral to the two larger cities when something bigger is needed.
A medical unit is built on three fronts running in parallel: civil work and installations — ours; the specialist packages of medical gas and radiological shielding; and the regulatory file that the operating licence rests on. Confusing them is the usual cause of delay. The clean area does not close before the gas pipeline is tested, and equipment does not go in before the shielding is verified. What we guarantee is that the construction side is not the part holding up the calendar.
In a medical unit the schedule of accommodation is set by health regulation according to the services you intend to provide. A consulting room, a dental practice, a procedure unit, imaging and day surgery are different categories, each with its own minimum areas, circulation widths, separation of flows and installation requirements. That is why the first deliverable is not a drawing: it is the list of services, converted into a compliant room schedule with a regulatory consultant. Starting from a floor plan is what forces it to be redrawn.
| Scope | What it covers | Cost 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Consulting clinic fit-out | Civil work, installations, washable seamless finishes | $14,000 – $24,000 MXN / m² ($790 – $1,400 USD / m²) |
| Dental practice | Suction, compressed air, treated water, sealed surfaces | $20,000 – $39,000 MXN / m² ($1,100 – $2,200 USD / m²) |
| Clinic with procedure rooms and CSSD | Dirty-to-clean flow, sterilisation, ventilation | $26,000 – $46,000 MXN / m² ($1,400 – $2,600 USD / m²) |
| Day surgery with operating theatre | Clean area, medical gas outlets, recovery | $41,000 – $76,000 MXN / m² ($2,300 – $4,200 USD / m²) |
| Radiological shielding, per room | Design, installation and documentation | $153,000 – $510,000 MXN ($8,500 – $28,300 USD) |
| Medical gas pipeline system | Distribution, alarms, testing and certification | $306,000 – $1,224,000 MXN ($17,000 – $68,000 USD) |
| Generator with automatic transfer | Small facility | $204,000 – $510,000 MXN ($11,300 – $28,300 USD) |
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.
Protected circuits in wet and procedure areas, UPS for equipment that cannot drop mid-procedure, and a generator with automatic transfer in any unit that sedates patients: on this coast a wet-season outage is routine, not an exception. Two water sources — mains plus your own cistern — treatment for the local hardness so autoclaves and dental equipment survive, and independent extraction in sterilisation.
It is a young municipality, separated from Benito Juárez in 2016, with relatively recent planning instruments: confirm land use and requirements case by case rather than assuming Cancún practice. The upside is an accessible administration, where a complete file moves quickly and an incomplete one stalls.
A consulting clinic takes 10 to 16 weeks of construction. A dental practice with several surgeries, 12 to 20. A unit with procedure rooms and sterilisation, 4 to 7 months. Day surgery with a theatre, 6 to 12. On top of that sits the regulatory path, which is frequently longer than the build and therefore starts first. The other bottleneck is equipment: imaging, autoclaves and dental chairs have long lead times into Quintana Roo, and the room is built for the specific model.
