DESIGN. PROJECT MANAGEMENT. CONSTRUCTION.

COMPLEX, CONTROLLED DESIGN.

City Fertility boasts 16 clinics, over 70 consulting rooms, and 60 of Australia’s foremost fertility specialists nationwide. They ensure the best chance of conception for their patients through stringent protocols, pioneering research, and scientific treatments. They sought a national team to deliver two complex healthcare facilities, in Victoria and Western Australia, while adhering to compliance codes, budget requirements, and tight timelines.

OUR ‘ONE-TEAM’
APPROACH.

Fragmented communication, slow decision-making, and disjointed workflows are the main culprits of time and cost blowouts. Usually, resulting from disordered collaboration across the various disciplines required for complex projects. We tackle this head-on by bringing a broad spectrum of experts under one roof – from designers and engineers to project managers and technical specialists. With regular team meetings to keep everyone aligned, we ensure effective problem-solving and high-impact solutions.

DELIVERING
TO CODE.

For both class 9a healthcare facilities, we engaged in a rigorous process with health boards across both states (LARU & VIC Department of Health). To be certain each site met relevant industry standards, we collaborated with our consortium of technical SMEs and the health boards to align design and delivery with all necessary requirements and certifications.

NAVIGATING
COMPLEXITIES.

Each site housed an IVF laboratory – an extremely complex, specialised, and stringently controlled environment. This meant accounting for a wide range of critical factors – environmental sterility, temperature and humidity control, air purity, cryopreservation capabilities, embryo culture conditions, equipment calibration, staff training and expertise, confidentiality and ethical standards, data security, and regulations – to ensure peak performance.

PATIENT-CENTRIC
DESIGN.

We understand that fertility treatment can be a nerve-wracking, stressful time for patients. With so much at stake, it’s crucial to ensure they feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process. And that begins with design. To balance the clinical nature of the facility with a patient-friendly design, we included private consultation rooms, comfortable waiting areas, and aesthetically pleasing interiors to create a supportive and welcoming environment for patients.

SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY.

We coordinated efforts among various stakeholders – City Fertility, our internal teams, equipment suppliers, and specialist subcontractors – to deliver two high-quality, sophisticated IVF facilities. Both sites satisfied the creative brief and meet the evolving needs of City Fertility’s clients. All while supporting their strategic goal of expanding their services in Victoria and Western Australia.
