Project Overview
Falcon Building Group delivered the full fit-out of Entity Medical’s Hobart Clinic, transforming an existing tenancy into a purpose built medical facility.
Covering approximately 400m2, the project involved the complete reconfiguration of the space into a high functioning clinical environment, featuring 10+ consult rooms, dedicated treatment spaces, spacious reception with high ceilings and a clean, efficient layout designed for daily clinical use.
Timelines & Expectations
Medical fit-outs require a high level of coordination, with multiple trades and services needing to align within tight timeframes.
From the outset, the expectation was to deliver a compliant, fully operational clinic ready for immediate use. This meant ensuring all services, finishes, and clinical requirements were resolved early, allowing for a smooth and structured build phase.
Maintaining momentum across all stages of the project was key — particularly with the level of detail required across services, joinery, and compliance.
Scope of Work
The scope of works included:
- Full internal demolition and reconfiguration of the existing tenancy
- Construction of new consult rooms, treatment rooms, and clinical spaces
- Installation of acoustic-rated wall systems for privacy between rooms
- Extension of walls to soffit in key areas to control sound transfer
- Complete services coordination, including electrical, hydraulic, mechanical, and data
- Fit-out of steri, prep, pathology, and nurse triage areas
- Installation of compliant amenities, including ambulant and accessible facilities
- Custom joinery throughout consult rooms, reception, and back of house areas
- Flooring installation, including herringbone vinyl plank, carpet, and clinical grade vinyl
- Feature finishes to reception and waiting areas, aligned with the client’s brand
Challenges & Key Outcomes
- Services coordination across a complex layout
With multiple consult and treatment rooms, each requiring specific services, early coordination was critical. Aligning electrical, plumbing, and specialist medical equipment ensured each space functioned as intended without rework. - Acoustic performance in clinical spaces
Achieving appropriate sound separation between consult rooms was a key requirement. This was addressed through acoustic rated wall systems and extending walls to the soffit, resulting in improved privacy for both patients and practitioners. - Working within an existing footprint
The existing tenancy required a full internal transformation. Careful planning allowed the team to maximise usable space while maintaining clear circulation paths and compliance with accessibility standards. - Compliance and accessibility
The project was delivered in line with current NCC and Australian Standards, including AS1428.1 for accessibility. This ensured all spaces were safe, functional, and accessible for a wide range of users.
Project Impact
The completed Entity Medical Hobart clinic delivers a well balanced healthcare environment that supports both operational efficiency and patient experience. The space is now set up to handle high daily use, with a layout that enables smooth patient flow, functional clinical spaces, and a welcoming front of house.
This project demonstrates the value of resolving detail early and maintaining a structured delivery approach, resulting in a facility that performs as intended from day one.
