Melbourne IVF is refurbishing its existing day hospital and fit-out of reception and clinical workspaces. This project aligns with Melbourne IVF’s commitment to offering advanced fertility treatments while upgrading its facilities to better serve patients and staff in East Melbourne.

The key objectives were to enhance operational efficiency and provide state-of-the-art fertility treatment facilities. Goals included maintaining service continuity during construction and ensuring the facility’s design aligned with Melbourne IVF’s high standards for clinical care and patient experience.

Essence provided comprehensive project management services, including project scoping, design management, cost and contract management, contractor engagement, and construction delivery. We also offered strategic advice to align the hospital’s design with operational and business objectives.
