Devenney Group

Devenney Group has dedicated over 60 years to healthcare, applying Lean principles to ensure that our designs reflect actual care-delivery needs. We cover the entire spectrum from minor outpatient and specialty clinics to large, greenfield hospitals that involve tertiary and quaternary care, each tailored to reduce waste, improve workflow, and empower both caregivers and patients.

We are more than healthcare architects; we serve as Lean design partners. We carefully study operations, standard workflows, and value streams before starting any design. Our teams work closely with owners, clinicians, and trade partners to map out current and future processes. We then turn those insights into clear, efficient, and adaptable spaces. By aligning design choices with operational goals, we enable clients to see tangible gains in throughput, safety, staff morale, and patient care.

Devenney Group has led the way in Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) in healthcare. We have expertise in multi-party agreements, target value design, and forming high-trust, co-located teams. By collaborating closely with builders and trade partners, we provide ongoing feedback on costs and constructability, implement rapid cycle design, and promote transparent decision-making. This Lean-driven, integrated approach minimizes rework and surprises during construction, ensuring projects consistently meet or surpass their cost, quality, and schedule goals.

Our design process emphasizes continuous improvement. We utilize Revit/BIM not merely for documentation but as a platform for quick PDCA cycles, simulations, and pull planning of design tasks. Mock-ups, 3P events, and data-driven scenario testing help us refine room prototypes, workflows, and departmental adjacencies. This approach leads to smarter, appropriately sized facilities with smaller footprints that still allow for flexible future growth and modifications.

Across hundreds of healthcare projects, we have seen that Lean design and delivery foster environments where patients have seamless care experiences and staff can perform at their best. Devenney Group applies this approach to every project, integrating decades of healthcare experience, validated Lean and IPD methods, and advanced BIM technology to construct healthcare facilities that perform at the highest level on day one and continue to improve over time.
