A pharmacy is a shop at the front and a clinical space at the back. City Fitouts builds both: retail shelving, gondolas and lighting that sell the front of store, and a dispensary with the sinks, refrigeration, secure storage and consult room the Pharmacy Council of NSW requires. Kareela Community Pharmacy is one of ours.
A refresh of a trading pharmacy runs four to six weeks, often staged so the scripts keep coming; a new pharmacy in a shell eight to twelve.
A pharmacy replacing a shop is retail to retail, so the internal work is usually exempt and a new shopfront complying development. Pharmacy Council of NSW premises registration covers the dispensary, storage, refrigeration and a private area for counselling; the PBS approval is the owner's matter.
We walk the site with you and your drawings, measure what is there, and come back with a fixed price and a program. Not an estimate that grows - a number you can sign a lease against.
Our own site manager runs the job every day. Licensed trades, a certifier engaged from the start, centre and landlord conditions handled, and weekly progress reports with photos.
Occupation certificate, fire and electrical certification, as-built drawings and warranties in one folder, on the handover date we agreed at the start.
Usually. We stage the retail floor and do the dispensary after hours, as at Kareela, so the pharmacy keeps trading.
Yes. Priceline, Chemist Warehouse, TerryWhite and the independents' banners each have a fixtures and graphics standard; we build to it.
Your supplier sets the footprint and the services; we build the floor, power and data to it so it drops in at the end of the job.
