The Urology Austin – first floor project, is a healthcare facility with a strong emphasis on imaging and patient care. We demolished an existing 1980’s, 13,000 square foot office space to allow for the installation of PET, CT, X-Ray and ultrasound machines to help detect and monitor the spread of prostate cancer for patients across Central Texas. Improving an office centered shell to a medical space presented obstacles that we needed to overcome, such as seamlessly routing chill water lines from the 1st floor to the roof to a mounted heat exchanger, as well as performing slab quality testing and remediation for the PET machine. The addition of lead lined gypsum board to 4 separate rooms ensured there is no radiation leaks. Lastly, we pulled a new disconnect to provide enough power to adequately handle the service of high amperage equipment. Along with the constraints of adding medical imaging equipment, the Urology Austin project also includes the addition of exam rooms, procedure rooms, a reception and waiting area, a breakroom and workrooms in order to provide day-to-day care for patients. Additionally, we demolished a 5,000 square foot space, divided it and white-box prepped the area for a future sublet tenant.

This was our 3rd project for the Treehouse Pediatrics clinic located in Round Rock. The scope included interior demolition of a space previously used for a lab and the build back of new walls, ceilings, millwork and flooring with upgrades made to the plumbing, electric and HVAC. This work created new exam rooms with new and reused materials. We built and installed new workstations, reused existing lighting, carpet flooring, millwork and ceiling tiles. Finally, we installed new millwork, the existing concrete floors were polished, fresh paint was added throughout, and different wallpaper was installed in each treatment room to make each room unique along with sinks and electrical outlets per plan.

This project was the demolition of the existing sleep rooms, restrooms and offices in the existing West Wing of the 5th floor followed by the finish-out which added 15 Neurocritical ICU Patient
Rooms, new staff restrooms, clean rooms, soiled hold room, a med room and a bariatric room all designed to meet ADA requirements. It included Tarkett resilient flooring, Inpro wall protection,
crash rail finishes, updated med-gas connections, as well as Zero VOC paint throughout.

State-of-the-art technology was used in all aspects of construction. We used Starc Wall Systems to contain the construction site from exposing any dust and air particles into the air inside an active hospital. Infection control and prevention measures were paramount every day, we used air scrubbers and negative air machines to mitigate risk. With that, we installed insulated ducted returns in the entire wing. A pneumatic tube station was installed into the existing system, along with a humidifier and new RO system, IGBU’s were installed at HM window frames, sprinkler lines were relocated to accommodate the new layout, the fire alarm system was redesigned and all new devices installed, as well as field installed headwalls.

In each room, we installed state-of-the-art Baxter Hillrom Nurse Call Systems, new sheetrock ceilings to accompany new structural steel supports for medical lights and Human Care Patient Lifts. Dedicated exhaust and associated duct work for negative pressure patient rooms. Additionally, the wing received all new millwork and Swanstone solid surfaces. Nurses’ stations included, updated Swisslog system, new GE Healthcare Patient Monitoring Systems and new integral blind systems.

This project was a 1st generation interior medical office finish-out with new exam rooms, workstations, a reception area, a breakroom & restrooms.

We relocated the existing HVAC, electrical and plumbing to accommodate the new space layout. We installed new fi re safety equipment in the space, new flooring, signage, as well as new paint, lighting and additional finishes per plan.

This project for Midtown Urology was the demolition of their existing suite, build-back and expansion into the adjacent suite to expand the practice’s footprint in the medical office building. The work was split into 2 phases to allow the clinic to remain fully operational without interruptions.

Within the build-out, all MEP aspects were fully updated, including all new plumbing fixtures, lighting, as well as the electrical panel to accept the new power load and new HVAC grills. The space was also given new fi nishes throughout so the space presented as one cohesive suite such as all new custom cabinetry and granite countertops, fresh paint, tile backsplashes in the breakroom and bathrooms, new fl ooring and decorative wall coverings throughout the space.

This was a build-out of a first-generation medical office building for an Austin Diagnostic and Austin Heart combined clinic. The space included exam rooms, offices, lab space, multiple nurses stations, a split waiting room and an x-ray suite. All work was completed on the existing occupied floor with noisier work taking place before and after operating hours.

The project involved the demolition of an 8,000-square-foot conference center to make way for a state-of-the-art Transplant Clinic. The renovation included constructing 15 new exam rooms, treatment rooms, and various support spaces, all designed to meet ADA standards and enhance patient care. Throughout the clinic, new vinyl flooring and Acrovyn wall protection were installed, along with Zero-VOC paint, ensuring a safer and healthier indoor environment. Medical gas connections were upgraded to accommodate the specific needs of the healthcare facility.

Advanced construction technology was employed to mitigate contamination risks within this active hospital. The Starc Wall System was used to contain construction dust and particles, maintaining clean air quality for both patients and staff. Infection control and prevention remained a daily focus, with air scrubbers and negative air machines deployed throughout the project. Insulated ducted returns were installed across the clinic wing to further enhance air quality and control.

Each treatment room was equipped with the latest Hillrom Nurse Call Systems for streamlined communication and Curbell Medical pillow speakers to improve patient convenience. Structural upgrades included new sheetrock ceilings supported by reinforced steel to accommodate advanced medical equipment, such as medical lights. In addition, acoustic ceiling tiles were installed throughout the clinic to reduce noise levels and improve patient comfort, while the lobby area was enhanced with a wood ceiling matching the existing aesthetic to create a welcoming atmosphere. Isolation rooms were outfitted with room pressure monitors tied to the hospital’s building management system, enabling real-time monitoring of air pressure levels to maintain safe conditions.

This project was a first-generation medical office interior finish-out. The scope included new plumbing, HVAC and electrical tied into existing building infrastructure. Offices were completed with new lighting and controls, outlets and floor boxes. HVAC included 2 new air handlers and utilized one existing unit to create 3 new controlled zones. Plumbing included a finish-out for a new restroom. New millwork was built for the breakroom, restroom and reception desk. The office entrance was outfitted with a new glass storefront. New carpet and LVT was
installed in the offices and tile in the restroom. We also modified the existing fire alarm and fire suppression system to comply with the AHJ. To make the space ADA compliant and up to code, we installed grab bars and fire extinguisher cabinets. Lastly, window shades were installed at existing exterior windows and film was applied over glazing on the new interior doors.

This project was a renovation of 3 existing suites converted into 2 suites to relocate the Pediatric Associates of Austin Doctors Office. Sabre doubled the footprint of their existing offices giving them twice as many exam rooms than they had at their previous location. We added a reception area, refreshed the existing restrooms, added a nurses station in the rear, refreshed the doors, ceilings, all lighting and updated the existing plumbing. Murals were added to both sick and well-child waiting areas and each exam room had owner furnished themed decor installed.

Sabre was able to get involved early on in the design process to avoid any delays in materials that would affect the schedule.

This project also adhered to AEGB specifications.
