Suffolk opens a new office in Newport Beach, California, to guide the health construction of San Diego in Los Angeles.
The Boston -based contractor sees increasing demand in the west coastal hallway, especially when hospitals seek to modernize aging facilities. To lead this growth across the country, the firm appointed construction veteran Stephen Green as CEO of Newport Beach office.
Green brings decades of experience in the management of large -scale healthcare projects, according to a statement on July 24. His past roles include leadership positions in San Mateo, Truebeck Construction in California; Auburn, General Rabram Contractors, based in Alabama; Fulcrum construction based in Atlanta; and Birmingham, based on alabama, Construction, according to his Linkedin profile.
Southern California’s expansion comes weeks after Suffolk became a land $ 750 million hospital project In White Plains, New York. In this workplace, Suffolk is unfolding its artificial property based on artificial intelligence Steel tracking softwareA technological approach that the company seeks to replicate on the west coast.
Here, Green talks with construction of construction on the company’s strategy in California, the trends of the healthcare building and how it is used in jobs.
This interview was published by brevity and clarity.
Construction Division: What do they prioritize southern California health customers in their projects right now?
Stephen Green: Southern California health customers prioritize flexibility, market speed and minimization of the interruption of ongoing operations.

Our pre -construction teams collaborate closely with customers from day one to define the scope, align budgets and block realistic schedules to provide certain costs and avoid expensive surprises during construction.
Combining innovative tools and Platforms fueled by experience and thorough planning and planning, Suffolk promotes predictability in our projects.
Suffolk emphasized its use of technology as AI and predictive analytics. How is this during construction?
The use of the AI of Suffolk, the predictive analytics and the dashboard with real -time data translates into tangible benefits for hospitals and health systems.
Immediate access to the dashboard provides the owners, the administrators of the hospital and the facilities teams a clear visibility in the progress of the construction, the deadlines and the performance of the budget. It allows them to make informed decisions.
Suffolk uses and to manage the deliveries and logistics of materials precisely, which results in supplies that arrive just in time and reduce unnecessary problems, traffic or storage problems.
This is especially important in active health environments where an adjoining construction activity occurs in the patient care areas. Predictive analytical solutions help the team to predict possible challenges, such as hours of hours and operating risks before they become important problems.
The result is less interruptions in hospital operations in sensitive and high environments.
What makes the area of San Diego Los Angeles especially competitive for health construction?
The corridor of San Diego -los Angeles is driven by the growth of the population and the aged infrastructure.
We are seeing less large -scale healthcare projects than in recent years. At the same time, there are activities consisting of minor efforts such as the improvements of the tenants and the directed renewals.
Given these conditions, we strategically follow large -scale projects, such as image suite remodeling and emergency service updates, where our large -scale healthcare experience adds significant value. These projects offer significant opportunities to collaborate with clients, support their evolving needs and stay closely aligned with their long-term vision.
Combining our people with advanced technology and national resources, we are positioned to be long -term success in the California health market.
With still high construction costs and the continued pressure of the rates and labor restrictions, how do you help health customers to keep in budget and the schedule in this environment?
The process, teams and technology allow us to closely manage health projects so that we can deliver them safely and predictably with the budget and the calendar.
Taking advantage of tools like Trunk tools and Robust roboticsWe automate repetitive tasks and consume time to create efficiency in our jobs.
What other health construction trends or challenges are you watching in the second half of 2025?
California health systems are facing a growing need to deal with critical structural performance categories and non -structural performance category updates required by the 1953 Senate Bill.
The Senate 1953 bill provides California hospitals until 2030 to complete structural seismic updates and related to the usefulness to remain operational after a significant earthquake. It is a great engine of investment in infrastructure right now and an important factor that shapes health construction throughout Spain.
These structural and utility improvements are essential, but do not generate income, so they must be delivered efficiently to avoid diverting patient care resources.
At the same time, we are closely seeing emerging opportunities in laboratory research and space, especially in regions such as Northern California. As health systems are increasingly linked to biotechnology and academic partners, the experience of Suffolk in Life Sciences places us to offer the highly technical environments driven by precision that these collaborations require.
