The
ambitious expansion programme now offers additional office space, a larger
reception, consulting rooms, a conference centre, three new operating theatres
and a cosmetic suite. The extensive programme also included specialist air
conditioning and an air exchange ventilation system. In addition, Exeter
Medical also made further significant investment on medical equipment and
furniture to furnish the new premises. This includes a suite of medical
lasers for the treatment of acne, sun damage and birthmark, thread veins and
tattoo removal.
MD
Business Interiors, which provides office furniture and complete commercial
refurbishment services to create professional successful environments for
business. They are currently busy with a
number of projects located at Pynes Hill, Marsh Barton Trading Estate and
throughout the County as a whole.
The
local company first worked for Exeter Medical in 2006 when fitting out the
Exeter Airport premises before the company outgrew the space. The firm was
fully responsible for the project from conception to completion including
design, space planning, refurbishment, building works, office furniture and soft
seating. MD Business Interiors obtained
the planning permission for change of use and also secured building regulations
approval. The project took a total of 14
weeks and was completed successfully on budget and within a very tight
deadline.
Mark
Dowse, Managing Director of MD Business Interiors says: “The
Directors were very happy with the initial fit-out we undertook at Exeter
Airport and as a result contacted us again to carry out all works for the new
premises. The brief was to keep the same corporate style but on a much larger
scale with a modern twist to include three new operating theatres. This meant
working within the stringent Care Quality Commission (CQC) guidelines for
surgeries and medical buildings with regular site inspections at various stages
to check on standards of work and compliance. The design of this project and
the pedestrian flow was crucial as visitors have to be guided to various areas,
some with limited access. Our scope of works included the AutoCAD design and
space planning, partitions, electrical and plumbing work, M&E (Mechanical
& Engineering) installation, new office furniture, flooring and full
decoration throughout. It was a pleasure working on a diverse project
with a high specification and with such interesting clients.”
Exeter
Medical is the South West’s premier independent healthcare and cosmetic centre.
Directors, Christopher Stone and David Olivier Consultant Plastic,
Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons are seen as pioneers in the medical world
running their own business alongside their primary roles as well-respected
surgeons. With the larger and spacious new premises the company has been
able to increase staff by around 50%, taking the number of personnel from 9‑13
plus two additional part-time employees. Exeter Medical also welcomes a
new collaboration with the Exeter Eye Ophthalmic Surgeons who share the Admiral
House facility.
Christopher Stone,
Director Exeter Medical said: “When we decided to upgrade new premises it was an easy decision to
instruct Mark Dowse to project manage the re-fit as he designed and constructed
our first clinic building. Mark and his
dedicated team fully understand the nature of our business, our objectives and
company philosophy and we are absolutely delighted with the new building which
came in on time and on budget. Over a
three month period, MD Business Interiors transformed a generic office building
into a modern healthcare facility, which not only meets the clinical
requirements for a range of medical and surgical specialties, but also offers
beautiful and inspiring surroundings for both patients and staff alike.”
David Olivier, Director Exeter Medical further comments: “MD Business Interiors has
worked very closely with us at all stages to produce a contemporary spacious
healthcare environment. We are particularly pleased with the modern design of
our dedicated cosmetic suite within the building and the state-of-the-art
operating theatres. It has enabled us to expand our comprehensive range
of facilities even further, including the new eye surgery available from the
well-respected Exeter Eye Ophthalmic Surgeons who now share our new
premises. It resolutely puts us at the forefront of the market place,
firmly placing us as the premier independent healthcare and cosmetic centre in
the South West.”
