Clinic and medical facility construction in Xpu-Há

Design, construction and services with the health file resolved before opening.

Xpu-Há sits on highway 307 between Puerto Aventuras and Akumal, with large resort complexes, beach clubs and thousands of guests and staff, but the nearest hospitals are in Playa del Carmen. The gap is urgent and first-level care on the highway itself.

Urgent care on the corridor

Resort guests with minor emergencies, staff, divers and road-accident victims on the 307 all need a first stop before Playa del Carmen. A clinic with direct highway access, an ambulance bay and a stabilisation room covers that, with consultation rooms and a pharmacy for routine demand.

Highway access done properly

A clinic on the federal highway needs a safe access with a deceleration lane and a clear ambulance route in and out. The highway authority reviews it, so we start that file alongside the design and lay out parking so that ambulances never wait behind cars.

Medical equipment in severe salt

Close to the beach, salt attacks air-conditioning coils, electrical panels and medical equipment. We specify coated condensers, sealed enclosures, 316 stainless fittings and filtered fresh air, and keep sensitive equipment rooms on the inland side of the building.

Budget and programme for a clinic in Xpu-Há

Clinic fit-out: MXN 21,000 to 36,000 per m². Freight and specialist installers come easily from Playa del Carmen; the marine specification and the highway access works raise the figure.

A 150–300 m² clinic takes five to eight months. The Solidaridad licence and the highway access file run in parallel; the COFEPRIS sanitary licence closes at the end, on completed works with equipment installed.

Scope: from concept to the sanitary licence

We cover concept and executive design with full engineering, municipal filing with the responsible engineer, civil works, electrical with back-up, plumbing, air conditioning and extraction, medical gases where applicable, sanitary finishes, fixed furniture and signage. We accompany the health file through to inspection, coordinating the facility’s health officer.

The budget comes out as line items with quantities and unit rates; every change is priced and signed before execution and payments go against verified progress. We hand over as-built drawings, calculation records, datasheets and equipment manuals.

Why the order of filings decides the opening date

The municipal licence authorises building; the sanitary licence or notice authorises operating, and it is resolved on completed works with equipment installed and running. So the opening date is set when the health file closes, not when the construction contract is signed. We plan both in parallel so the second does not begin when the first ends.

Weekly reports with dated photographs and a fortnightly video call from site, in Spanish, English, German, French, Russian or Chinese. Many of our clients are doctors or investors who do not live in the area and need to follow the works remotely.

The ground in Xpu-Há: what it imposes on the project

• Municipality: Solidaridad
• Environmental regime: SEMARNAT + ZOFEMAT (federal shoreline concession)
• Ground: sand over limestone
• Water table: very high
• Salt exposure: severe

Open beach with dune: setback and demountable structures on the front strip.

• Federal SEMARNAT filing: the environmental resolution is the project’s critical path. Budget 4–8 months before the first excavation.
• ZOFEMAT frontage: the federal strip is not yours even if you buy the lot — it is concessioned separately and paid for annually.

Frequently asked questions

Why build a clinic at Xpu-Há rather than in Playa del Carmen?

Because the demand is on the corridor itself: resort guests, staff and highway traffic between Puerto Aventuras and Akumal need urgent care closer than Playa’s hospitals.

What does a clinic on highway 307 need for access?

An authorised access with a deceleration lane, a clear ambulance route and parking that keeps the ambulance bay free. We prepare the highway file in parallel with the design.

Do you accompany the COFEPRIS process?

We handle the technical file: drawings, calculation records, specifications for finishes and services, medical gases and biological waste handling, and we respond to inspection observations. The facility’s health officer remains the signatory, and we work coordinated with that role from concept stage.

Can a clinic be fitted out in a unit that is already leased?

Yes, and it is the most common case. What has to be verified before signing the lease is clear height, electrical capacity, the possibility of extraction, the position of drainage stacks and space for the waste store. A two-hour review before signing avoids months of trouble afterwards.
