Drywall Installation
in Healthcare Projects

Hospital accreditation standards and life safety precautions make healthcare construction projects much more complicated. Drywall installation becomes a crucial part of the equation with multiple through-penetrations from life safety equipment.

The American Society of Healthcare Engineers (ASHE) has set the standard for excellence in the healthcare industry. The society created the Healthcare Construction Certificate Program so that you can recognize which subcontractors are familiar with the sophisticated factors unique to this industry.

1) Hospital accreditation standards (JCAHO), health department codes, and basic OSHA requirements unique to the healthcare setting
