Family First Care Fitout Project

Office Fitout

Robina, Gold Coast, QLD

April 2024

Project Description

Industry 7 was engaged to deliver a complete commercial fitout for Family First Care, creating a vibrant and functional environment tailored for healthcare and learning purposes. Working from issued design documentation, the project involved consolidating two adjoining tenancies through new openings, and building a flexible layout comprising offices, lounge areas, waiting zones, a learning space, and kitchen facilities.

The fitout included new 3.6m high plasterboard partitions, black powder-coated aluminium framed glazing and doors, and a full-height plasterboard ceiling. Specialist acoustic ceiling baffles were installed to enhance sound control, along with polished concrete floors achieving a premium, stone-exposed finish through a multi-stage mechanical polish and seal process.

Complex services integration was a key challenge, requiring substantial modifications to HVAC systems, new electrical infrastructure, plumbing installations, and the creation of core holes for service runs. Noise and disruption were minimised through after-hours works, ensuring the project progressed efficiently without impact to surrounding tenancies. The final result is a high-quality, durable fitout blending commercial robustness with a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
