Sample Request for Proposal

If you are a healthcare provider involved with healthcare planning and construction projects, you will want an ACHA certified architect on your team. Engaging an ACHA certified architect, or hiring a firm that assigns an ACHA certified professional to your project, provides the following benefits and can help you differentiate in your selection process:

​

• Confidence that certified healthcare architects are up-to-date on current issues, trends and regulatory requirements

• Knowledge of healthcare industry best practices and benchmarking

• A team member who “knows your business” and “speaks your language”

• Access to the best and brightest in healthcare design

  

We suggest adding this wording to your upcoming Request for Proposals (RFPs): “Because healthcare projects are complex and highly technical in nature, they require experienced, qualified architects. Please list proposed team members who are American College of Healthcare Architects (ACHA) certified.​”
