Radius Medical Group 

Radius Medical, part of the integrated Radius Health Group, launched their new medical centre at Botany Junction.

Having traditionally bought & re-branded established practices & having no recent experience with new interior fit-outs, Radius needed professional design advice to assist them with their own fit-out & to coordinate their sub-tenants' requirements.

With two Boards & Banks to satisfy, setting up a greenfields site with no customer base meant keeping a tight construction budget was paramount for the financial success of the centre. With a budget of $ 750,000 & a Q.S. estimate of over a $ 1,000,000, taken from conceptual architectural layouts, we were introduced to Radius by Broadway Developments to review the budget estimates & refine the design.

Radius Medical General Manager, Cherie Buchanan, said if we hadn't got the price down to our target budget, we would have flagged the project. Malcolm & Sumner's expertise was the link to making the deal work.'

'Malcolm & Sumner nailed it for us - in that we could do the project within budget, providing practical & cost effective solutions. They were a good bridge between the parties, representing our interests vis-a-vis the developer throughout the project & providing the practical & technical information that Broadway needed."

'I appreciated Diane's attention to detail & had great confidence that what she suggested would provide the best solution. M & S working drawings were of a professional standard & provided the level of detail required for consent & construction".

'It was a case of - we didn't know what we didn't know. Diane was pleasant & eager to listen. She heard what we were saying. M & S gave us peace of mind, providing the expertise that made the difference. They took on the role to manage the process, taking a huge weight of responsibility off my shoulders."

'Because we were in the process of undergoing a brand change, we hadn't appreciated the full impact of re-branding and what it entailed. Diane pointed out that a Corporate look isn't just about signage; it's about a total corporate identity. This led us to appoint M & S to develop a complete interior corporate scheme which we can implement throughout all our NZ medical centre facilities."

'Having someone to source, order & receive furniture on site worked really well for us. We were able to concentrate on setting up our systems and getting the facility ready to receive customers."

'Malcolm & Sumner have an ability to plan ahead & provided us a facility which was designed to accommodate future growth. Future-proofing has enabled us to expand our services when we can afford them to meet the demands of our growing client base."

'It's all about creating a team & working together for the success of the project. Everybody wins. After working so closely for so long, you start to feel like part of a family. It's not just about being a long term client but becoming friends."
