Warfel Construction Company is pleased to announce that Robert “BJ” Allen, PE, has earned his Certified Healthcare Constructor (CHC) designation. The CHC certification program, through the American Hospital Association and in conjunction with the American Society of Healthcare Engineering (ASHE), provides a national standard of knowledge required for professionals focused on healthcare construction. This assists employers, the public, and members of health professions in assessing healthcare contractors.

To achieve the CHC designation, an individual must pass a comprehensive exam that tests healthcare construction terminology, code requirements, and general knowledge. It demonstrates an individual’s knowledge and commitment to healthcare.

“At Warfel, we are committed to patient safety and continued learning with our clients, and we understand the risks associated with healthcare construction,” said Vice President Brett Calabretta. “BJ’s CHC credentials further supports our leadership in delivering facility solutions in the healthcare market.”

Allen graduated from Pensacola Christian College with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, and has spent more than two decades as a design consultant focused on the healthcare market prior to joining Warfel.

Allen lives in Palmyra, PA with his wife, Amy.
