Generally, a 200 square metre veterinary fitout project can be completed within 5-6 weeks. 

However, the exact duration of a veterinary fit-out project can vary greatly depending on the requirements, the location, the size,  the materials/finishes selected, council approvals, and many other variables of your veterinary fitout project. 

We understand that time is money therefore we provide our clients with a project timeline and schedule at the very start!

Put simply, a veterinary fit out is a construction term that describes the process of making the interior of a space suitable for occupation for a veterinary business. 

A veterinary fitout project involves renovating the internal layout and interior space to meet the tenant’s requirements. 

Very often, the base construction is completed by the developer and the final veterinary fit out is the responsibility of the tenant. 

A veterinary fit out project covers all activities relating to the interior construction and remodelling work including but not limited to: plumbing, carpentry, electrical, joinery, painting, flooring, and more…

A veterinary fit out is a construction term that describes the process of making the interior of a tenancy suitable for occupation for a veterinary business.

Basically, a veterinary fitout project is the internal construction and/or renovation of a tenancy. Therefore, a veterinary fitout contractor is simply a term used to describe the builder in charge of this interior construction or renovation project. 

Quite often a veterinary fit out contractor is hired by the tenant of a veterinary business to provide services including but not limited to: interior design, plumbing, carpentry, electrical, joinery, painting, flooring, and more… 

It all starts with your initial consultation where we ask you some simple questions to try and understand what your requirements are and what is the most effective way for us to assist you in achieving your goals.

A typical veterinary fitout project from start to finish would be as follows:

1) Initial Consultation 

2) Design Brief & Veterinary Space Planning

3) Veterinary Concept Designs

4) Veterinary Fitout Costing Analysis

5) Compliance & Regulation Checks 

6) Veterinary Fitout Project Management

7) Hand-Over Of Completed Veterinary Space

8) Ongoing After-Project Support

Typically, you require council approvals for all construction and veterinary fitout projects where you “change use” of the existing building. An example of a “change of use” would be if you change a tenancy which is currently used as an office building into a premises for veterinary use. 

However, the exact council you require can vary depending on the council, the extent of the works and other factors. Top veterinary fit out companies will organise and liaise with a Private Certifying Authority or council on behalf of their client to simplify the process. 

Be very wary of falling into the trap of choosing the retail fitout company who provides the cheapest quote.

Be very wary of falling into the trap of choosing the veterinary fitout company who provides the cheapest quote.

Firstly, Before deciding which veterinary fitout company you choose to award your project to, it is crucial to go through each quote you received thoroughly.

Cross check each quote with your veterinary design plans to ensure nothing was left out. The more detailed the veterinary fitout quote the better!

One reason why a veterinary fitout quote may be significantly cheaper than another may be because a builder has left an item out, this could lead to variation claims in the future and you might actually end up spending more.

ImpeccaBuild is fully insured and licensed, plus when you work with us, you are partnering with a veterinary fitout company that’s a member of the Master Builders Association (MBA), as well as a member of the Housing Industry Association (HIA). 

What this means for our customers is that we adhere to the highest possible standards at every stage of their veterinary fitout projects.

With an excellent understanding of building regulations and legislation, MBA & HIA members also have an excellent knowledge of the broader industry, including innovations and advances which can be used to give you the very best results possible. 

Furthermore, at ImpeccaBuild we only use fully licenced and insured subcontractors for all of our veterinary fit out projects. 

We strongly advise you not to ever consider using veterinary fitout companies who aren’t licenced or insured. 

Remember, don’t make the common mistake of choosing an unlicensed contractor because they’re cheaper, only to end up paying more to fix their defective work or their dishonest variations.

Don’t be afraid to ask a veterinary fit out company for copies of their insurance policies.

Veterinary fitout companies are required to have public liability insurance, all risk insurance as well as workers compensation.

If your builder is hesitant to share these documents with you, take this as a major red flag.

To eliminate any of your concerns, it’s a good idea to cross check with the insurance companies to determine if their policy is still valid or if they’ve expired. It’s better to be safe than sorry!

This really depends on the project specifics and scope of work.

In some cases, it is possible for your veterinary business to occupy and continue to trade during your veterinary fitout. 

We understand that time is money for a veterinary business so our team ensures to take extra precautions ensuring your staff are able to work and your veterinary business is able to operate as best as possible. 

In cases where we aren’t able to work simultaneously as your veterinary business is open, we can arrange for after hours work.
