How to find the Ideal Space for Your New Healthcare/Dental Clinic?
Setting Up a new healthcare or dental clinic involves a critical yet challenging task: securing an ideal property in the right location. Factors such as size, space, facilities, accessibility, parking, and the demographics of the community play an important role in property selection. And there is another important task is ensuring compliance with the relevant planning scheme for healthcare or dental practices.
Establishing a clinic isn’t like setting up a short-term store. Staying in one place allows you to nurture local relationships and cultivate customer loyalty. Your clinic’s location significantly influences its success, so thoroughly research and conduct due diligence before finalizing a new place. This is where Akord’s expertise as a fitout company Sydney simplifies these complex tasks, also, we will help review the approval process via strata and town planning or council.
Key Factors of doing your due diligence:
- Demographic of customers is determined by the location
If you set up your dental office in the suburbs, then you’ll likely have middle-to-upper-class clients. Opt for a city, and your demographic becomes diverse, with at least a senior high education level. Suburbs with lower middle-lower class communities have more mouth and dental issues and they are . By setting-up your new clinic in such a location, you can expect more patients. Establishing a brand identity is key to attracting your ideal customer.
Near a school district? Expect a surge in young patients. Ideal for pediatric dentists or orthodontists. Positioned near offices? You’re likely to attract working adults. A prime spot for endodontists or general dentists. Location matters in defining your customer base.
Choose the appropriate location as per your goals and practice.
- Consider Parking Options and Accessibility
Selecting places frequently depends on parking availability, and medical appointments are no different. Your clinic’s location and great services may not be enough if parking is scarce or the location isn’t well connected with local transportation. Adequate parking facilities and easy accessibility play an important role in attracting and retaining clients.
- Land Use Considerations
Zoning is a crucial factor in property research. Despite finding an ideal location, size, and shape, the current zoning may restrict use for medical or dental clinics. Akord Projects expertise in preparing and submitting development approval applications for a smoother, more successful process.
- Property Physical Space
Determining the number of consultation or treatment rooms is one of the important factors while choosing the right property for your medical practice. Property variations go beyond square meterage—considering factors like layout, window placement, and plumbing access is essential.
We run a site inspection before you buy or rent the property to make sure whether the property is capable of fulfilling your needs and expectations. We inspect property location and outside layout that covers the access points, patient waiting lounge, emergency exits, rooms/wards and also inspect whether the property met the Legal and Statutory Approvals / Compliances like fire emergency, air conditioning, ventilation, waste management etc.
