Modular Operation Theatre Price and Turnkey Quotations

What makes up the cost of a modular theatre

The cost of a modular operating theatre is made up of several groups: the panel system for walls, ceiling and doors, flooring and finishes, air-handling and filtration, medical gases and electrical services, lighting, pendants and suspension arms, integration and video, and the work of design, installation, testing and handover. The final figure depends on the size of the room, the specialty and the level of equipment.

Because each element can be specified at different levels, the same room can have very different prices. A general theatre with basic services is a different product from a theatre with integrated video, hybrid features and long-reach suspension systems.

What a turnkey quote should include

A true turnkey offer states the scope in writing, from design drawings to commissioning. Use the list below as a baseline when you request proposals.

• Design and coordination drawings, including the reflected ceiling plan.
• Wall, ceiling and door panels, flooring and finishes.
• HVAC, filtration, pressure control and monitoring, or the interface to the building system.
• Medical gas outlets, alarms and electrical points, including bonding and backup power interface.
• Surgical lights, pendants and suspension arms, with load data and fixings.
• Integration and video, if included, and the network cabling.
• Delivery, installation, testing, commissioning, training and warranty.

Ceiling equipment within the quote

Ceiling equipment is often priced separately and can be left out of a headline figure. Lojer Solido pendants are always built to order, so the configuration of arms, outlets and shelves directly shapes the price. The Q-Flow SOLO, DUO, TRIO and QUAD systems range from single to four-arm configurations for lights and monitors.

Ask the integrator to list the pendant and suspension configuration for each room, with load ratings and fixing details. If the main contractor supplies the room and Beckfinity or another distributor supplies the ceiling equipment, agree the interface in writing.

How to compare offers

Issue the same written brief to every bidder and ask them to price against the same list. Compare provisional sums, exclusions, optional items and the assumptions made about the building, such as ceiling height, structure and access. A lower price that depends on the hospital supplying services or structural work is not truly lower.

Check references for similar rooms, ask about lead times and how changes are handled, and verify warranty and service terms. Our article on modular vs conventional theatres explains where each route is stronger.

Budgeting steps for UAE hospitals

Start with the clinical brief, then create a room data sheet for each theatre. Obtain at least two comparable proposals, and include contingency for variations and site conditions. Confirm authority approvals, such as DHA or DOH where applicable, and the time they require, with your consultant, because these can affect the programme as much as the price.
