In this dynamic world of healthcare design and construction, we are often faced with trying to evaluate consultants, many of whom have extensive portfolios and resumes. As the head of Hoag’s Real Estate and Facilities department my focus is on trying to identify those professionals who want to be our true business partners and help solve the complex and often conflicting priorities that we face on a daily basis. From that perspective, its my pleasure to HIGHLY recommend Todd A. Davis and the Davis HBC, Inc. team. The Davis team has been providing IOR services to Hoag since 2001. They work collaboratively and proactively to assure that our high standards are met. Over that time period, they have worked on a myriad of project types and approach their work with tremendous professionalism.

I am confident, that they can provide a similar experience to your organization.

I’ve worked directly with Todd and the “Davis” group for many years at Hoag Hospital campuses in Newport Beach and Irvine, through hundreds of various projects and remodels. Their solid professional reputation with OSHPD precedes them, and was essential for keeping all projects on time and running smoothly.

A notable project we worked on together was the Ancillary Building Remodel (ED/ECU) HL 050402-30; this was a five-year job with six phases, and the complexity required IOR services be completely integrated into the project team. They successfully coordinated the third-party testing inspectors for multiple projects maximizing their availability which added value of time savings along with fiscal responsibility.

The proactive approach to plan review, document control, verifying site conditions, and problem solving made them a vital asset to the project team. They were able to manage complex multi-increment permits including seismic, NPC & SPC upgrades, and major renovation TI within an active acute care hospital.

For the last eleven years I have worked with DavisHBC on numerous OSHPD projects both small and large at two different hospitals. DavisHBC has always supplied qualified inspectors that are professional and efficient in their duties. The company has always maintained a great relationship with the OSHPD field staff enabling us to move forward on projects without delay. This relationship has allowed us to work through concerns and questions to the satisfaction of OSHPD without requiring an additional visit.

The leadership at DavisHBC understands the importance of the projects and the benefit to the communities the hospitals serve. To that end, their goal is always to help the owner drive projects to completion. They are always proactive on projects and serve as an advisor to the owner and construction manager. The cooperative and team attitude makes working with the DavisHBC staff uncomplicated in every aspect.

The DavisHBC team has proven to be a great asset and an invaluable team member on all our projects and I would strongly recommend them for any hospital project requiring IOR services. If you need any additional information or would like to inquire about our experience with them, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
