The Future of Healthcare Construction & the Potential of Modular w/ EIR Healthcare

Inside Modular: The Podcast of Commercial Modular Construction

Grant Geiger, CEO of EIR Healthcare, explores how modular construction is transforming healthcare building projects by addressing the industry's unique challenges of high costs, slow timelines, and technology integration.

What makes healthcare construction unique isn't the materials or processes—it's the motivation behind the projects. Unlike economically-driven commercial developments, healthcare facilities often expand based on community need rather than financial returns. And with more hospital systems shifting to a "hub and spoke" model with smaller satellite facilities, the opportunities for modular building has never been greater.

In this episode, Grant shares his thoughts on the potential for modular healthcare construction to produce buildings that not only deliver care for patients but deliver faster, more predictable timetables for stakeholders. By eliminating the "blank sheet of paper" approach that currently dominates healthcare construction, modular methods promise facilities that can be built faster, cheaper, and with better patient outcomes—a win for providers, patients, and healthcare systems as a whole.
