Veterinary Clinics

An existing tenancy needs a services assessment before its fit-out scope is fixed; Kippa-ring Veterinary Clinic by RJM Builders is among the built projects listed in this category. The proposed use needs to be checked against applicable National Construction Code provisions and local approval requirements in Australia. Locate existing drainage connections and confirm electrical capacity against the equipment schedule before committing to room positions, particularly where new pipework would require cutting into the slab.

Ask an acoustic consultant to assess the separation between holding areas and noise-sensitive rooms or neighbouring premises. Include doors and ventilation paths, since sound can bypass a wall through gaps or ducts.

Measure door clearances and turning space against the trolleys the practice uses. Allow room beside examination tables for staff to assist an animal without blocking the doorway.

Agree on a staged works plan with the builder before construction starts, including service shutdowns. Separate occupied clinical spaces from dust and construction access, and identify any procedures that need to move off site.
