Japanese term
ハードのグレード感
Japanese to English
Bus/Financial
Business/Commerce (general)
The whole sentence is:
内装、設備などの先行整備によりハードのグレード感を保つこと
As with the other phrase I posted earlier, I'm not sure what this ハード is. I'm also not sure what グレード感 is in this case. Perhaps it's talking about sophistication?

Note from asker:
| The topic is establishing a medical facility in a new building. I don't think it is talking about hardware (which I associate with computers). |

: It´s impossible to know unless you know what is the topic/subject of the sentence. You made a good attempt, but any translation out of context is quite difficult. In this case ハード probably means "hardware"

And グレード感 is feeling of high-quality, feeling that something has high-quality characteristics. Does this make sence?

grade perception of hardware / hardware grade perception
Just another twist. I've heard the term "grade perception" thrown around in MBA case studies related the setting of multiple price points.
