Commercialand officefitouts.

Office and corporate tenancies built to the same standard as the clinical floors above them — including two office tenancies on the ground level at Cheltenham, within a four-level health building.

Healthcare groups do not only need clinical space. They need administration, billing, training rooms, boardrooms and the corporate floor that sits underneath the practice — and increasingly they are developing mixed-use buildings where commercial tenancies sit alongside clinical ones.

We build those tenancies, and we build them understanding the clinical floors above: where the acoustic separation needs to be, how the services are shared, and how a commercial lobby and a patient entry coexist without confusing either.

Healthcare groups do not only need clinical space. They need the floor the practice runs from.

What the build actually involves.

Six things that decide whether it works on opening day — every one settled before a wall goes up.

01

Reception and arrival

A front of house that signals the organisation rather than defaulting to a desk and two chairs, and that reads differently to a clinical waiting area where the two share a building.

02

Workstations and open plan

Planned to the headcount and the way the team actually works, with power and data in the floor or the furniture rather than trailing.

03

Meeting and boardroom

Acoustically separated, with the AV infrastructure built in rather than added afterwards, as at Macquarie Park.

04

Private offices and quiet rooms

For the conversations that cannot happen on an open floor — HR, clinical governance, patient complaints.

05

Staff amenity

Kitchen, break space and end-of-trip facilities that make the tenancy somewhere people are willing to come in to.

06

Mixed-use interface

Where commercial sits beneath or beside clinical floors, the acoustic, fire, services and access separation resolved properly at design stage.

The compliance envelope.

Named, because “fully compliant” on its own tells you nothing.

Commercial tenancies sit in a different Building Code classification to clinical ones. In a mixed-use health building, fire separation between classifications, egress provisions and services separation all need resolving with the certifier at design stage.
Section J energy efficiency provisions apply to commercial tenancies and affect glazing, insulation, lighting power density and services efficiency. The requirements differ between Code editions, which matters given NCC 2025 applies in Victoria from 1 May 2026 while New South Wales and Queensland deferred to 1 May 2027.
Accessible entry, circulation, sanitary facilities and, where applicable, end-of-trip facilities follow the Code's Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions and AS 1428.1.
Commercial leases carry base-building conditions, landlord works approvals and make-good obligations. We read the lease and the fitout guide before documenting, because both routinely change the scope.
A note on complianceGeneral information about the regulatory environment we build in, current as at October 2026 — not legal, regulatory or professional advice. Requirements change and differ by state. Accreditation, licensing and radiation approvals rest with the practice and its own advisers.

What actually drives the cost.

We do not publish a square-metre rate, because the rate would be wrong for your tenancy.

01

Tenancy condition

Cold shell, warm shell or an existing fitout to strip out. Strip-out and make-good of the previous tenant's work is a real line.

02

Density and partitioning

Open plan is cheaper per square metre than cellular offices. The meeting-room count drives the partition and acoustic budget.

03

Services

Mechanical zoning, lighting and power distribution to the layout, and the base building's capacity to support it.

04

Section J compliance

Glazing, insulation and lighting efficiency measures, and the cost of demonstrating compliance.

05

Make-good

An obligation at the end of the lease that is worth pricing at the start.

Commercial fitouts: common questions.

Because healthcare groups need it, and because mixed-use health buildings are increasingly how the sector develops. Cheltenham is the clearest example — two commercial office tenancies on the ground floor beneath a wellness clinic, dental clinic, medical centre, physiotherapy and studios, all delivered as one project.
Yes, though healthcare remains our specialism and most of our commercial work sits within or alongside a health project. If you want a builder who understands what is happening on the clinical floor above your office, that is where the value is.
It moves with the condition of the shell, the density of partitioning, the meeting-room count and the base building's services capacity. Strip-out and make-good obligations are the two lines most often left out of a feasibility. We price from a plan, the lease fitout guide and a site inspection.
Yes, and we read it before documenting. Landlord fitout guides set out base-building conditions, approval processes, permitted hours, protection requirements and make-good obligations, and every one of those affects programme and cost.
Energy efficiency provisions apply and affect glazing, insulation, lighting power density and services. Which edition of the Code applies depends on your state — Victoria is on NCC 2025 from 1 May 2026, while New South Wales and Queensland deferred to 1 May 2027.

Planning a commercial fitout? Start with the site.

Send us the tenancy and the scope. We will come back with a room schedule, a compliance read and a realistic cost range — and tell you early if the site cannot do what you need.
