Problem
Health systems manage building design standards in PDFs, binders, and SharePoint folders that no one trusts, forcing teams to waste weeks searching for requirements and repeat costly mistakes across projects. Every health system solves the same governance problem from scratch, leading to an estimated 15% of construction project spend wasted on rework, change orders, and preventable failures—amounting to $10B lost annually on a $70B U.S. healthcare construction spend.
Solution
Kaizen provides an enterprise platform for health systems to collect, improve, and enforce building design standards across every capital project. The platform replaces static documents with a single governed system of record, organized around how health systems actually work. Users can upload and organize standards into a structured, searchable system with role-based access and clear ownership, eliminating the need to hunt across shared drives, email threads, or individual hard drives. By establishing a living standards platform, Kaizen enables governance at portfolio scale, ensuring design standards remain current and enforceable project after project.
Target Audience
Primary customers are health systems managing capital construction programs, including facility executives, design and construction teams, and standards governance committees responsible for maintaining building design requirements.
