Site feasibility

At Space for Health, conducting an extensive and comprehensive site feasibility study is a crucial step in medical centre construction and medical fitouts for a new build. The real estate market is complex, and so are the legal requirements of developing a project from scratch. With our 27+ years of experience, we have developed a thorough understanding of the requirements, limitations, and incentives for building in different areas nationwide.

Our team knows how vital it is to find a site that won’t disrupt any existing infrastructure and won’t require massive investment to meet compliance. We also go the extra mile to understand potential locations by assessing the market and the demographics that exist there to help your business succeed.

Once we’ve identified a site, we’ll check every facet of it to ensure it meets the goals of your business. This encompasses everything from stormwater drainage to submitting a development application/planning permit. We do the hard yards to get you into the location you deserve, one that will benefit your business for years to come.

Does every project require development approval or a complying development certificate?

At Space For Health, we understand that securing development approval (DA) or a complying development certificate (CDC) for your medical centre construction project can be a complex and confusing process.

For a successful project, it’s important to comply with legal requirements and building regulations. Space for Health has a team of experienced specialists who can help you with securing development approval or a complying development certificate. Attaining a CDC is faster, while a DA takes longer and is required for extensive remodelling. We can apply for these approvals on your behalf and undertake the necessary procedures, including discussing your proposal with the council, preparing drawings and plans for the medical centre construction and medical fitout, and submitting the final application.

  • Discuss your proposal with the council
  • Prepare drawings and plans for your proposal
  • Provide a Statement of Environmental Effects report and how we can potentially mitigate any negative impact
  • Submit final application to the council

What sort of issues can arise during pre-design stage?

Space For Health has over 27 years of experience in medical centre design and construction and can assist you in navigating through the pre-design stage. During this phase, common roadblocks can occur such as local council restrictions, building authority regulations, objections from existing tenants or neighbours, and more. As trusted advisors, we have the expertise to work around these issues and deliver your ideal location for your practice.
