HPI

What HPI does

HPI (Health Projects International Pty Ltd) is a Sydney-headquartered specialist healthcare planning and architecture firm operating an international branch network (TAHPI) across 34 countries. The company's core offering pairs end-to-end professional services - health service planning, health facility planning, health architecture, interior design, project management, medical equipment planning, and health project briefing - with two proprietary software/standards assets: the Health Facility Briefing System (HFBS), a modular web platform covering briefing, document management, budgeting, costing, purchasing, door scheduling, mapping, property, and service planning with Revit/AutoCAD integration, and the International Health Facility Guidelines (iHFG), a library of open-sourced, BIM-enabled standards and room data sheets customized for national health authorities. Services span the full lifecycle from feasibility and briefing through design, construction, handover, and post-occupancy evaluation, with HPI often acting as Project Manager.

The firm serves four customer segments: private healthcare providers (e.g., Ramsay Health Care, Healthscope, Macquarie University Hospital, Calvary Bruce Private Hospital), government health authorities that adopt customized guidelines (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong Architectural Services Department), public/government hospitals requiring redevelopment, and international healthcare developers. HPI originated the Australasian Health Facility Guidelines (AusHFG) in 2002 and has used that standards authorship as a wedge into overseas guideline-development mandates and HFBS licensing into 8+ national health authorities. Notable outcomes include Campbelltown Private Hospital delivered one month ahead of program with no construction variations and Meitra Hospital in India completed 18 months ahead of schedule using modular prefabrication.

Revenue is generated through three streams: project-based professional services for healthcare construction projects of various sizes (including hospitals valued at $25M-$77M), annual subscription access to HFBS software modules, and licensing/customization of iHFG for regional health authorities. Pricing is largely quote-based for professional services, with the HFBS Briefing Module distributed free to government projects under an annual rolling subscription to drive public-sector adoption. With 250+ specialist staff worldwide and 300+ completed healthcare projects across 20 countries, HPI occupies a defensible niche at the intersection of healthcare design advisory and standards-based software, but it operates without external funding and has not publicly disclosed revenue, headcount growth, or ARR figures.
