The Bricker & Eckler LLP Construction Industry Group has developed this resource center to help explain construction law topics relevant to hospital and other health facility construction. Readers are advised to consult their legal counsel concerning particular questions they may have regarding the legal issues discussed here.

General Interest to Hospitals and Health Facilities
Every health care facility faces many of the same challenges that any other public or private owner would face in renovating an old building or constructing a new building. This potpourri of topics should be required reading for any owner!

Insurance and Surety Information
What insurance is required when I want a new building? What happens if there are design errors? How can I finish the project if the contractor either fails to perform or is terminated? Bricker & Eckler LLP has developed this section to help owners answer these questions.

Project Documentation
Project documentation is the key to victory! In any dispute there can be thousands of documents. However, there will only be a limited number of "key" documents that help to resolve claims. The owner, contractor, project manager, or design professional who takes the best notes has the best chance to achieve a successful outcome in any dispute.

Project Planning and Bidding
Improper planning, bid disputes, and selection of the right "team" members can make or break a project. This summary of articles from ohioconstructionlaw.com can serve as a potential "claim prevention" database for owners.

Claims
Claims have been made on the project - now what do we do? Health care facilities face claims just like any other owner. What are the owner's rights and responsibilities, and what are the owner's best practices throughout the claim process? This summary of articles helps to answer some of these questions.

Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality in health care facilities is a key element both during the construction process and after a facility is completed. Mold and HVAC issues should be considered in the early stages of any project.

Seminars for Hospital Owners
It is important for contractors to have an understanding of critical construction law topics. Our attorneys have developed seminars addressing various issues related to hospital owners. These seminars can be customized to fit your organization and can be held at your offices or ours.
