HPA Group

HPA’s goal is to turn your project vision into a reality.  Through experience we are able to identify opportunities clients may not have considered, or challenges they are likely to face.  Whether your project is a lifestyle village, a care facility, or both, HPA creates an environment responsive to the needs of the resident or end user, balanced with the challenging commercial restraints of your ownership.  

Concept development and Master Planning

Master planning involves the development of an overall spatial plan of your project so that you can see its full potential at an early stage. This process ensures that HPA has a clear understanding of your expectations from the beginning. The initial master plan can also be a useful tool when trying to obtain funding from investors.

Feasibility Assessment

Before committing to any major expense, HPA can provide you with a thumbnail feasibility. Working alongside our designers, HPA’s commercial team can model development costs and projected revenues, generating a range of options for your consideration; a task that would normally incur the costs of several different specialist design and financial consulting firms.  Your project benefits from HPA’s in-house flexibility.

Raising Finance

Our commercial team can guide you through the often complex process of negotiating with banks or private investors to raise the required capital. HPA’s capital and operating cost estimation services give clients and potential investors a realistic indication of the finance required to successfully complete their project, from the outset.

New national codes and standards require a much more comprehensive approach to construction projects.  We keep ourselves up to date with industry compliance standards so that we can protect your interests.  By providing you with full design coordination services, you avoid having to deal with a number of different design consultants.

Architectural and Engineering Design

Architecture is not about drawing buildings; it is about producing an integrated environment to enhance your lifestyle.  Our experienced team of architects, draughtsmen and engineers, consider elements such as acoustics, energy conservation and environmental engineering from the outset.  HPA also has a diverse portfolio of existing healthcare and residential designs that can be customised to suit your project.

Electrical Design – Technical Solutions

Technical Solutions came about as the collaboration between a company heavily involved in electronic design and manufacturing, and a company involved with the building industry in a design and installation capacity.  We have offered clients a seamless design and build experience for over 20 years.  We are able to provide certified designs for any level of electrical or ICT service.  We specialise in greenfields, and retirement village infrastructure, but have extensive experience providing solutions involving security access, co-generation, photovoltaic, nurse call, IT and fibre reticulation.  We can assist with the entire process including project management and provide solutions with affordability and longevity in mind.  We have a wealth of knowledge and experience that translates to a better outcome for clients – there isn’t an electrical or electronic design that we cannot provide.

Resource and Building Consent Aquisition

As well as completing and submitting the required documentation, HPA will liaise with the local district council on your behalf throughout the lifespan of your project and handle any obstacles that arise while acquiring the necessary Resources and Building Consents.

Market Research and Analysis

HPA uses market research companies that are experienced in the healthcare and retirement lifestyle sector to conduct research (e.g., focus groups, surveys) in the projects local community, to ensure our designs match the needs and preferences of your target market.

HPA currently has over 50 residential designs and variants.  To date, HPA’s construction company, Lifecare Construction Ltd, has managed the construction of over 1000 retirement villas; with HPA playing a key role in the sales and marketing of these villas.

Project Management

HPA’s project management team has extensive experience managing the development, planning, design and construction of aged-care hospitals and lifestyle villages; as well as hospital re-designs and extensions.  HPA tailors its project management services to meet the needs and preferences of each client.

Construction Management

Our clients benefit from HPA's national purchasing power through its open-book construction process.  HPA regularly checks supplier and subcontractor prices against standard industry rates to ensure clients are getting competitive pricing across all areas of construction.   Also, being based in the same offices, HPA’s designers and procurement team are able to work together to ensure the end product matches the client-approved design.

Sales and Marketing Planning

HPA provides marketing floor plans for all residential designs and our commercial team is able to assist with the entire sales and marketing process.  Who better guide the promotion of your villa, townhouse or apartment than the company that custom-designed it to meet the preferences of your target market?

Financial and Commercial Management Support

Once your lifestyle village or aged-care facility is established, HPA can assist with the management of the financial and commercial aspects, helping you meet revenue targets and keeping operating costs at a minimum.
