All we do are hospitals. That's what makes us the hospital experts. That's the HBE difference.
HBE is the nation's leading integrated designer and constructor of hospital additions, renovations and replacement hospitals. Our in-house team* of hospital consultants, architects and engineers collaborates to maximize the value that each client receives
for its capital investment. Without financial obligation to you, HBE will review your project and design a plan, complete with detailed schematic drawings, and will propose a guaranteed lump sum price for construction. HBE continues to receive national accolades for its innovative solutions and completion of hospital capital projects. Since 1960, more than 1,100 hospitals
have relied on HBE's expertise.
* The integrated team working together includes licensed architects and professional engineers employed by Hospital Designers, Inc., a subsidiary of HBE Corporation, or an affiliated design firm, where required by state law.
"Our original architect proposed a $22 million
project that we could not afford. We are now very happy with our HBE project that included all our program requirements and was designed and built for $14.8 million. This project ensures we will remain a viable health care facility that can provide a wide variety of services into the next 25 years."

"It was the vision of the Board of Directors to create a new hospital. The best the independent architect, engineer, and construction manager could propose was $1 million dollars per bed. We couldn't afford that. We sent out RFP's to the top three design-build firms. Our Board of Directors ultimately selected HBE who has the most experience. We're now building a hospital for around $720,000 a bed versus the projected million dollars per bed. Another major benefit of HBE is one point of accountability. With a traditional model, you point at the architect, the architect points at the engineer, and the engineer points at the construction guy. There are a lot of hybrids...or people coming together to create a design-build model. HBE is the only true integrated design-build firm."

"HBE enabled Chambersburg Hospital to achieve a superior design with larger private rooms and improved operational efficiencies while maintaining the quality specifications we require. In addition, the HBE guaranteed fixed cost will help facilitate the execution of our 10 year system-wide plan via the tremendous savings on our largest and most strategic project. We look forward to continuing our positive working relationship with HBE as our project continues to progress."

"The project moved from Design into construction and, finally, to renovation in a smooth, uninterrupted manner. HBE managed the project through all phases to an on-time completion within budget. All of the new operational spaces, whether new construction or renovated, have met with high praise from patients, families, physicians, staff and the Bay Area community. The new South Tower is a wonderful addition to our campus, providing excellent patient access and much improved patient flow. I would like to thank the entire HBE team for a job well done."
