Commercial plumbing built for medical centre fit-outs.
Industry Overview
Every medical centre is different, but every successful fit-out depends on one thing — a hydraulic system that supports efficient operation from opening day.
Oliver & Sons Plumbing works alongside builders, shopfitters and equipment suppliers to deliver commercial plumbing in accordance with the approved hydraulic design and construction program.
Key Differences
Compliant clinical handwash basins requiring controlled hot and cold water.
TMVs may be required where temperature-controlled water is needed at handwash and patient areas.
Backflow prevention may be required where the water authority identifies a hazard.
Works are sequenced with the builder to suit the fit-out and handover.
The Build Sequence
01
Review hydraulic drawings, confirm the project scope and coordinate the plumbing works with the builder before construction begins.
02
Install underground drainage, water services and in-wall pipework before wall sheeting and internal finishes.
03
Install fixtures, equipment connections and complete the final plumbing fit-off once finishes are complete.
04
Pressure test the system, complete commissioning and provide the required compliance documentation before handover.
Our Approach
Oliver & Sons Plumbing works alongside commercial builders, project managers and other project stakeholders, coordinating plumbing installations with the wider construction program to support efficient project delivery.
From new medical centres through to tenancy refurbishments and fit-out upgrades, we provide dependable plumbing installations that prioritise quality workmanship, clear communication and reliable project delivery.
The Outcome
Whether you're fitting out a new medical centre, an allied health practice or refurbishing an existing clinical facility, our objective remains the same — delivering commercial plumbing that supports practical completion and provides the plumbing infrastructure required for day-to-day clinical operations following project completion.
Industry-Specific Plumbing
Medical and clinical fit-outs carry specific compliance requirements around temperature control and contamination prevention. These are the plumbing requirements we typically handle on a medical centre fit-out:
Clinical Hand Basins
Compliant clinical handwash basins including TMV-controlled hot and cold water.
Hot & Cold Water Services
Hot and cold water rough-in and fit-off to clinical and consultation areas.
Thermostatic Mixing Valves (TMVs)
TMV installation where required to deliver safe, controlled water temperatures.
Backflow Prevention
Backflow prevention devices installed, tested and certified where required.
Drainage
Sanitary drainage and floor wastes to suit clinical and treatment areas.
Compliance Requirements
Works delivered to AS/NZS 3500 and relevant health facility requirements, with certification.
Our Shopfit Process
We work alongside builders, shopfitters and other trades to deliver commercial plumbing in line with the construction program. From planning through to project completion, our focus is on quality workmanship, clear communication and completing our plumbing scope efficiently.
Commercial projects rely on careful sequencing. Every plumbing stage needs to align with construction milestones to avoid delays, minimise clashes with other trades and achieve practical completion on schedule. Our process is designed around commercial builders, ensuring every stage is completed efficiently and communicated clearly.
Review hydraulic and architectural drawings, confirm scope and coordinate with the builder before work begins.
Inspect existing services, confirm access, verify dimensions and finalise construction sequencing.
Install underground drainage, water services and in-wall pipework before wall sheeting and finishes.
Coordinate with cabinetmakers, electricians, tilers, kitchen suppliers and other trades throughout construction.
Install fixtures, tapware and equipment connections once cabinetry, finishes and equipment are complete.
Pressure test the system, complete commissioning and provide the required compliance documentation.
Final inspection, certification and project handover ready for practical completion and tenancy opening.
Working With Builders
Commercial fit-outs rely on close coordination between multiple trades. Our role is to complete our plumbing scope in accordance with the approved hydraulic design while working alongside builders, shopfitters and other contractors throughout construction.
We communicate directly with builders, site supervisors and project managers throughout the project, responding to RFIs, confirming plumbing requirements and coordinating our work with other trades.
Key point — A direct line to the site team, not layers of sub-contractors.

Clinical Services
Compliant clinical handwash basins requiring controlled hot and cold water, installed in accordance with the approved design and relevant health facility requirements.
Set-downs are confirmed with the fit-out trades during rough-in, ahead of wall sheeting and fixtures.
Key Considerations
Compliant clinical handwash basins requiring controlled hot and cold water, installed in accordance with the approved design and relevant health facility requirements.
Set-downs are confirmed with the fit-out trades during rough-in, ahead of wall sheeting and fixtures.
Key Considerations
Where temperature-controlled water is required, TMVs deliver safe, controlled water temperatures at handwash and patient areas.
TMVs are installed where required by the approved design and commissioned during fit-off where applicable.
Key Considerations
Where sterilisers form part of the fit-out, water and drainage connections are provided in accordance with the equipment requirements and approved design.
Set-downs are confirmed with the equipment supplier during rough-in.
Key Considerations
Hot and cold water rough-in and fit-off to fixtures, equipment and amenities across the fit-out.
Set-downs are confirmed during rough-in, ahead of cabinetry and finishes, so taps, basins and equipment connect correctly at fit-off.
Key Considerations
Hot water systems serve the continuous demand of the fit-out across basins, sinks, equipment and amenities. The system is sized to the fixture and equipment load to avoid undersupply during service.
Selected at design stage, roughed-in with the other hydraulic services, and connected and commissioned during fit-off where required.
Key Considerations
Where the water authority identifies a hazard, backflow prevention devices are installed, tested and certified by the appropriately licensed person where applicable.
The device is integrated into the hydraulic design during rough-in where required.
Key Considerations
Drainage points set into the floor to carry wash-down water and spillage to the drainage system, keeping the floor safe and operable during cleaning.
Positions and falls are set during rough-in, before the slab or screed is poured — falls cannot be adjusted once the floor is cast.
Key Considerations
Carries wastewater from fixtures, equipment and floor wastes to the sewer or trade waste system.
Pipe sizes, falls, junctions and discharge points are set before the slab is poured. Because falls cannot be adjusted once the floor is cast, the layout has to be right at rough-in.
Key Considerations
Pressure testing and commissioning confirm the hydraulic system performs as specified. Water services are pressure-tested, drainage flows checked, and fixtures and equipment connections commissioned where required.
Testing and commissioning are scheduled during fit-off so any issues are resolved before final sign-off.
Key Considerations
Depending on the project and local authority requirements, fit-outs may require inspections relating to the plumbing installation. Where an inspection forms part of our plumbing scope, we prepare the relevant plumbing work for inspection at the appropriate stage of construction and complete any required plumbing rectifications before progressing.
