COMMERCIAL REFURBISHMENT / CASE STUDY
From disused doctors’ surgery to veterinary practice
Davis Construction and Engineering transformed a former doctors’ surgery, which had stood empty for nearly ten years, into a calm, welcoming and fully operational veterinary surgery.
THE PROJECT
A new purpose.
A carefully planned transformation.
Working within a fixed budget and to an agreed opening deadline, we supported the client in redesigning the floor plan and entrance and exit routes to suit the practice’s needs. The revised layout improves privacy and safety for staff and visitors while adapting the building for its new use.

FROM BRIEF TO COMPLETION
A complete renovation.
Support beyond opening.
01
Purpose-built clinical spaces
The renovation included new electrical and plumbing systems, carpentry, plastering and a complete roof replacement. We also delivered modern operating theatres, dedicated X-ray facilities and new alarm systems.
02
On time and within budget
Despite the challenges of a major renovation and the additional roof replacement, we completed the project on time and within budget, maintaining clear communication throughout.
03
Staff accommodation and aftercare
Since the surgery opened, we have returned to convert the upstairs area into staff living quarters. These facilities provide space to eat, sleep, wash and rest, allowing staff to stay overnight when animals need care or are recovering from surgery.
We continue to support the practice with ongoing building maintenance.
THE WORK IN PICTURES
The transformation, step by step.
THE RESULT
A practice ready to care.
The result is a fully operational veterinary surgery with dedicated staff accommodation and a happy client.
