Health Planning

We use a patient focused and holistic approach to hospital design which gives advantages in patient and staff satisfaction, quality of design and cost.

Medical Equipment Planning

We use knowledge gained over many years to design and specify equipment and facilities suitable for the country under consideration with the knowledge that medical science in all countries is advancing rapidly.

Architectural Design

Our design and briefing philosophy is based on an understanding of the care and treatment required by patients in the area which the project is to serve. This requires thorough analysis and documentation of local and national factors.

Engineering Services

Our engineers are dedicated to providing high quality solutions that meet client needs with appropriate technology and within budgetary constraints.

Sustainability Framework

Hiltron develops designs that maximise the inherent benefits of a site, whilst minimising any adverse and future impacts. Our sustainability strategy is not an ‘add-on’ but instead acts as an integrated part of the process.
