Summary
Details

Healthcare construction is unlike any other kind of building.

Hospitals don't shut down for renovations. Patients are still being treated. Surgeries are still being performed. Critical systems can't fail. Every decision carries real consequences. Yet most construction books focus on schedules, budgets, and delivery methods.

This book focuses on the people.

In Building People Who Build Hospitals, veteran healthcare construction leader Michael Toftely shares a practical leadership framework for navigating the most demanding projects in the industry while building teams that perform under pressure.

Inside the book, you'll learn how to:

Lead construction teams in occupied hospital environments Earn trust with hospital administrators, clinicians, and facility staff Navigate shutdowns and high-risk work without compromising patient safety Develop project engineers, superintendents, and managers into strong leaders Handle crises, mistakes, and project pressure without burning out Build a career that creates impact instead of just chasing the next project

Each chapter combines real project stories, hard lessons from failure, and immediately actionable guidance drawn from the realities of hospital construction.

Whether you're a project manager, superintendent, engineer, owner's representative, or healthcare facility leader, this book provides a field-tested blueprint for leading complex projects and building teams capable of delivering them.

Because in healthcare construction, great projects don't start with drawings or schedules.

They start with people.
