Behavioral Health Design + Construction

Driven by Purpose. Built for Care.

TFG Behavioral Health helps operators, health systems, and developers renovate, expand, and build behavioral health facilities with experienced design+build, preconstruction, and construction management support.

Our Focus

TFG Behavioral Health specializes in the design + construction of behavioral health environments, bringing extensive experience in unit renovations, facility conversions, expansions, ligature risk assessments, and life safety upgrades.

We help operators, health systems, and developers design and build environments that support healing, safety, and therapeutic care, including:

  • Behavioral Health Hospitals

  • Residential Treatment Centers (RTCs)

  • Crisis Stabilization Units

  • Inpatient Behavioral Health Units

  • Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)

  • Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

  • Rehabilitation and Recovery Centers

  • Autism and Neurodiverse Treatment Environments

Our deep understanding of behavioral health environments, federal and state regulations, patient safety considerations, and occupied healthcare construction allows us to coordinate effectively with owners, operators, clinicians, architects, engineers, and regulatory stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.

At TFG Behavioral Health, we are committed to delivering safe, compliant, and purpose-driven environments that enhance behavioral healthcare services while minimizing operational disruption and long-term risk.

Our Services

  • Integrated delivery tailored to the unique safety, regulatory, and operational demands of behavioral healthcare. We align planning, design, and construction to deliver compliant, efficient, and patient-centered environments from day one.

  • Front-end planning that mitigates risk and creates cost certainty. We validate scope, align budgets, and coordinate with design teams to ensure projects are compliant, executable, and financially sound before construction begins.

  • Hands-on execution that protects schedule, budget, and operations. We coordinate trades, manage risk, and deliver projects efficiently—often within active healthcare environments where precision and control are critical.

  • Targeted upgrades that reduce environmental risk and enhance patient safety. We assess and implement ligature-resistant solutions aligned with required federal and accreditation standards, guidelines and industry best practices.

  • Comprehensive evaluations to identify compliance gaps and implement corrective solutions. We align facilities with NFPA codes and accreditation requirements to protect operations.

  • Renovations executed without disrupting patient care. We specialize in phased construction, containment, and coordination within active facilities to maintain safety, discretion, and operational continuity.

  • Strategic assessments that inform capital decisions. We evaluate existing conditions, identify risks, and develop actionable plans to prioritize investments and align facilities with long-term operational goals.

Built for Complex Behavioral Health Environments

Behavioral health construction is not typical healthcare construction. It requires a deeper understanding of patient safety, anti-ligature requirements, occupied facility phasing, regulatory coordination, and operational continuity.

Our team brings extensive, national healthcare construction experience to projects where mistakes are expensive, delays are disruptive, and details matter.

This experience has been developed across leading healthcare organizations and applied to complex behavioral health environments nationwide.

  • 500+ completed behavioral health projects by our team

  • Experience spanning 30+ states

  • $500M+ in completed project value

  • 100+ years of combined healthcare construction experience

This depth of experience allows us to identify risks earlier, align stakeholders faster, and deliver behavioral health environments with confidence.
