Services

We are committed to providing each of our clients with excellent personal service and tailor our design services to your individual needs and requirements,  with our flexible and client led approach. We have extensive experience of working with clients at different stages within their medical career, be it starting a new practice or clinic, renovating or refurbishing an existing practice or clinic, extending an existing practice or clinic or purchasing additional practices or clinic to add to your portfolio.

We take the design of a practice or clinic from a holistic perspective and can offer space planning, interiors, graphic and web design solutions and advice on corporate identity and branding, the patient experience, public areas of the practice namely reception, waiting spaces and bathrooms combined with the clinical areas namely surgeries and decontammination suites.

We have invaluable knowledge of practice and clinic workflow and a unique ability to maximise the true potential of space where none appears to exist.

We also design cabinetry for the surgical and non-surgical environments together with reception desks, medical product display cabinetry and bespoke waiting space seating solutions. Together with our manufacturing and installation partners we are able to bring our bespoke designs to a reality and supply and install to client and regulatory specifications.

We utilise high quality solid surface materials within our designs that enable us to create innovative shapes and curves that are aestheically stylish and extremely durable within the surgical, decontamination and reception and waiting spaces within client practices.

Suppliers, Trades and Craftsmen

One of our greatest strengths is the team of highly experienced planning, design, manufacturing and installation suppliers we work with.

We have a team of Architectural Technicians, Contract Administrators, CAD draughtsmen and CDM Co-ordinators that enable us to provide turn-key solutions to our clients.

We are able to process planning applications on behalf of clients to ensure successful D1 use planning approval and are able to assist clients with the building of new practices and clinics or the extension. conversion or refurbishment of existing practices and clients and oversee these projects on the clients behalf.

We also work with the leading suppliers of fixtures and fittings for surgical environments and are able to make introductions to these suppliers on our clients behalf. We design to CQC and HTM-01 compliance levels and incorporate such regulatory requirements into the designs we produce for clients throughout their practices and clinics.

We also work with a great range of leading suppliers for the public areas of the practice or clinic, including the established suppliers of furniture, lighting, flooring, materials, accessories and artwork, together with the major paint, fabric and wallcovering design houses. Through our relationships with these suppliers we can access products not widely available and purchase them on your behalf at competitive prices.

How we work

We fully appreciate that this may be a new experience for many of our clients and it is through working closely together that we gain a clear understanding of your needs and expectations and how we can assist, guide and support you in achieving your creative vision for practice or clinic to ensure maximum profitibility and productivity, enabling you to differentiate yourself from your competition.

  • Consultation
  • Concepts
  • Design Plan
  • Implementation

From our initial free design consultation, we work with our clients to fully understand your practice or clinic workflow, aesthetic and functional aspirations for the space, colour, style and material preferences, budget and time constraints and the services you would like us to provide.

We will then discuss our ideas with you and provide you with a full client briefing outline together with a quotation for our services.

These services include feasibility studies, planning applications, architectural solutions, design of clinical and non clinical environments, design, manufacture and installation of surgical cabinetry, reception desks, product display and patient record storage and waiting area seating.

From the design consultation we will then provide you with illustrations of our ideas through comprehensive architectural plans, concept and mood boards, sketches, photographs and 3D visualisations resulting in a bespoke design proposal for our clients.

We will also bring together the design elements of style, colour, lighting and layout and propose these to you with comprehensive samples of furniture, fabrics, wall and floor coverings and accessories to be incorporated within the scheme.

This is a refinement of the Design Consultation and Design Concept and gives you the choice of implementing the Design yourself or engaging us to oversee and administer the Design Project on your behalf.

This phase is crucial to the successful realisation of our collective creative vision, and starts with detailed planning and thorough preparation.

We can oversee the implementation process of the project through our strong network of local builders, craftsmen and tradesmen, who are competitively priced, come highly recommended and work with great professionalism and attention to detail with specific experience of surgery and practice projects.
