Healthcare owners continue to invest in modernization, expansion and complex renovation projects that require experienced construction leadership. Against that backdrop, Consigli Construction has appointed Chuck Richmond to oversee its New York healthcare operations as longtime executive Rich Steimel retires.
Richmond will direct the company's healthcare construction activities across the New York metropolitan region, maintaining leadership of projects delivered in active medical environments while supporting long-term client relationships.
The appointment continues an established leadership succession within Consigli Construction's New York healthcare business. Richmond and Steimel have worked together for more than three decades developing project teams and managing major healthcare construction programs throughout the region.
Richmond brings approximately 40 years of construction management experience focused on healthcare and institutional facilities. His project portfolio includes work for major healthcare systems and academic institutions such as NYU Langone Health, NewYork-Presbyterian, Northwell Health, Mount Sinai, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Cornell University, Weill Greenberg Center and Harlem Health Center.
His experience includes managing technically complex projects while healthcare facilities remain operational, requiring careful coordination to minimize disruptions to patient care and hospital operations.
Healthcare construction projects often involve phased renovations, advanced building systems and strict regulatory requirements. Richmond's background includes overseeing facility modernization efforts, patient care expansions and institutional construction programs across the New York market.
The leadership transition is intended to provide continuity for ongoing healthcare projects while maintaining established relationships with healthcare providers, design teams and project stakeholders throughout the region.
Steimel, who is retiring after decades of service, helped develop Consigli Construction's healthcare operations and project delivery teams in New York.
Leadership continuity is an important consideration for healthcare owners managing long-term capital programs and complex construction schedules. Experienced project leadership can help maintain operational coordination, support project execution in occupied facilities and preserve institutional knowledge across ongoing healthcare developments.
For construction owners, developers and healthcare organizations planning future capital investments, the transition reinforces the importance of succession planning and experienced management in one of the industry's most technically demanding market sectors.
