Achieve a Successful Pharmacy Re-Fit Project with BRL Contracting

21 October 2022

BRL has worked on many pharmacy fitouts throughout the years, making us experts in this industry. We have excellent continuous ties with our clients and suppliers, making us the go-to team for any pharmacy project, large or small. Our work takes us into country locations such as Robinvale and Benalla, as well as across Australia, to execute these fitouts, so you can trust on us to get the job done.

Are you thinking of remodelling your pharmacy? BRL Contracting can help you complete a successful pharmacy re-fit project by considering the following:

Fitout Project Approval Process

Many pharmacy owners misunderstand not just the process but also the time required for application and approval of their fit out project. For a change of premises or alterations to your store, governing authorities such as the Australia Community Pharmacy Authority and the Pharmacy Registration Board of Western Australia will require you to go through the application and approval process. Applications must be received prior to the specified meeting dates (which can be found on their relevant websites). Missing a meeting can cause a 4-8 week delay in your project.

Building permits are also required before work can begin on your site. Before submitting a Building Permit application to the local council, plans must be validated by an independent consultant. As part of our service, BRL Contracting can assist you in navigating this process, eliminating unnecessary stress and time delays. We can help to speed the process by ensuring that your design fulfils Building Code of Australia Standards and Pharmacy Board regulations, thanks to our significant knowledge in Pharmacy shop fitting.

The Best Time to Start the Refit Project

As wonderful as it may feel to walk into your newly remodelled pharmacy, you will want to do so knowing that you have had the least amount of impact on your customers, employees, and business.

We’ve discovered that adding wet paint and ladders to the mix in the run-up to Christmas is usually not a good idea. Traditionally, January and February are slower months, making them suitable for your re-fit project. Taking into account the ever-expanding retail calendar of special occasions and scheduled Pharmacy Board meetings provides you the best chance of having a smooth transition into your new shop with minimal inconveniences to you, your staff, and customers.

Choosing the Right Shop Fitter

Having a clear vision of the services you want to offer within your pharmacy from the start will save you a lot of time and money in the long run. Many pharmacies are expanding their professional offerings to include Naturopathy, Weight Management, and Diabetes programmes, among others.

Even if you are not currently providing these services but believe they are something you would like to offer in the future, make sure to inform us so that we can make it happen. It could be as easy as adding a sink to your consult room, allowing immunizations, or as complex as creating an extra consult room to accommodate more professional service as your business grows.

With BRL Contracting, you can rest easy knowing that your pharmacy re-fit projects in being handled by one of the best in the industry. We provide only the best quality of services that you deserve.
