In the second quarter of 2025, Portland and San Francisco were some of the most expensive cities in the United States for the construction of general hospitals. The cost of building a hospital in Portland ranged between ***** and ***** U.S. dollars. Boston and Los Angeles were the next cities in the ranking. Meanwhile, Las Vegas was one of the cheapest city in the list to build a general hospital.

London was the city in the United Kingdom with the highest costs for constructing a general hospital in 2024. Meanwhile, among cities included in this selection, Leeds was the cheapest one to build that kind of structure. The expenses of such a construction in London were over *** British pounds higher than in Glasgow. The capital of the UK is the most expensive area for public building construction. Hospital bed numbers still in decline The number of hospital beds in the UK has been declining since 2000. Between 2000 and 2020, figures decreased from ******* to ******* number of beds. The reduction in hospital beds is, among other reasons, attributed to technical improvements in surgery rooms, patients with mental health problems being treated in different settings, and most importantly, cuts to NHS funding. However, the number of beds increased slightly again in 2021 and 2022. Increased healthcare spend Despite past funding cuts and declining availability of hospital beds, healthcare spending has significantly increased in the past twenty years. In 2022, expenditure reached a peak of nearly *** billion British pounds, whereas in 2000, this figure amounted to ** billion British pounds. The value of healthcare expenditure as a share of GDP also increased significantly in the past years.

Total dollar value and number of projects either in review, pending construction, in construction, or in closure aggregated into California counties, once every two weeks since September 2013. A construction project moves through the Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) in four stages - In Review; Pending Construction Start; Under Construction; and In Closure. A project can only be in one of these four stages at any time. Additional data when available will be added to this dataset approximately once every two weeks.

After several turbulent years, hospital construction activity is bouncing back, with contractors experiencing a much-needed rebound after the disruption brought on by the pandemic. The industry hit a low point between 2020 and 2023, when project activity stalled because of strict capital budgets, labor and material shortages and uncertainty about hospital demand. Contractors who saw a dwindling backlog during this time have enjoyed a resurgence in bidding and a ramping up of both new construction and remodeling jobs, spurred in part by rising hospital occupancy and the lure of federal tax incentives for energy-efficient upgrades. Climbing occupancy at hospitals has also boosted remodeling work, benefiting contractors. Overall, industry revenue has been increasing at a CAGR of 2.1% to total an estimated $34.6 billion in 2025, including an estimated 3.4% increase in 2025. Hospital construction contractors had to navigate persistent cost pressures and tough competition, all while handling shifts in hospital funding. Profitability took a hit as material prices and wages soared through 2022, with heightened material costs and labor shortages complicating job pricing and scheduling. Contractors were forced to accept slimmer profit just to keep projects moving when private hospitals delayed or downsized capital investments and nonprofit community hospitals struggled under tighter Medicaid reimbursements and operational losses. Only as pandemic-era constraints eased did capital flows begin to strengthen, allowing contractors to rebuild lost ground and pass on more costs to end customers from 2023 to 2025. Still, tariffs have led to climbing construction material costs, putting additional pressure on profit. Looking ahead, the outlook is a mix of opportunity and risk. Federal policy changes, including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the expiration of 179D tax credits, will shake up funding streams, pushing rural hospitals in particular to reshape their construction plans as they work through shrinking Medicaid reimbursements and temporary relief programs. On the other hand, rising occupancy rates and looming seismic retrofit mandates in states like California are expected to drive a wave of new projects, especially modernization and expansion work. Industry revenue is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 3.5% to total an estimated $41.1 billion through the end of 2030.

Commercial reference buildings provide complete descriptions for whole building energy analysis using EnergyPlus (see "About EnergyPlus" resource link) simulation software. Included here is data pertaining to the reference building type "Hospital" for each of the 16 climate zones described on the Wiki page (see "OpenEI Wiki Page for Commercial Reference Buildings" resource link), and each of three construction categories: new (2004) construction, post-1980 construction existing buildings, and pre-1980 construction existing buildings.

The dataset includes four key components: building summary, zone summary, location summary and a picture. Building summary includes details about: form, fabric, and HVAC. Zone summary includes details such as: area, volume, lighting, and occupants for all types of zones in the building. Location summary includes key building information as it pertains to each climate zone, including: fabric and HVAC details, utility costs, energy end use, and peak energy demand.

In total, DOE developed 16 reference building types that represent approximately 70% of commercial buildings in the U.S.; for each type, building models are available for each of the three construction categories. The commercial reference buildings (formerly known as commercial building benchmark models) were developed by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), in conjunction with three of its national laboratories.

Additional data is available directly from DOE's Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) website (see "About Commercial Buildings" resource link), including EnergyPlus software input files (.idf) and results of the EnergyPlus simulations (.html).

Note: There have been many changes and improvements since this dataset was released. Several revisions have been made to the models and moved to a different approach to representing typical building energy consumption. For current data on building energy consumption please see the ComStock resource below.
