Clinic and Healthcare Facility Fit-Out

Clinic fit-out scope is built around the type of unit and the licence being applied for. The items below can run under a single contract or separately.

• Waiting area and reception
• Consulting and treatment rooms
• Hygienic wall and floor finishes
• Ventilation and filtration
• Medical gas and services
• Electrical, low current and nurse call
• Sterilisation and store layout
• Fitted furniture and counter joinery

Cleanability is decided far more by the detailing than by the surface material. Flooring is coved up the wall rather than finished with a skirting, joints are kept to a minimum, and counter and basin junctions are detailed seamlessly. If these details are not defined in the detailed design, site falls back on standard workmanship and the work is rejected at inspection.

In a clinic layout, patient, staff and dirty utility routes should be kept from crossing. The flow between the waiting area, consulting rooms and treatment units is set at layout stage; it cannot be corrected later by adding partitions. Door widths are sized for stretcher and wheelchair access, and corridor turning circles are resolved accordingly. Step-free access is required under accessibility regulations and is typically among the items reviewed at licensing inspection.

For treatment rooms, air change rates, filter classes and pressure differentials between rooms are set by the regulations that apply to the facility type. The mechanical design is prepared to those figures, and post-installation measurements are documented. The drawings and certificates required for the licence application are built into the programme; more often than not, this is the item that determines the gap between completion and opening.
