— Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

Got questions about permits, timelines, feasibility, or Manzel Studio? Here are common pre-project client FAQs.

What does a health space building designer actually do?

A health space designer's facilities are tailored to clinical workflow, patient experience, and regulatory compliance - balancing functionality, accessibility, and comfort. At Manzel Studio, we manage every stage from feasibility and concept to council approvals and construction support.

How long does a health space project take?

Most health space projects take around 9 to 24 months from the first consultation through to completion, depending on the scale, regulatory requirements, fit out complexity, and builder timelines.

At Manzel Studio, the design and documentation process is kept clear and efficient to help your project move forward with confidence.

Do you handle the planning permit process?

Yes. We manage the full town planning submission and represent you in council communications, RFIs, and (where required) VCAT support. Our designs are prepared with council requirements in mind from day one to maximise approval success.

Are your designs compliant with healthcare regulations?

Absolutely. We design with NCC, BCA, disability access (DDA), infection control, and relevant healthcare standards in mind. For specialist facilities, we collaborate with clinicians and technical consultants to ensure every requirement is addressed.

Do you design NDIS and SDA accommodation?

Yes. We design Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) compliant homes and facilities, working to the SDA Design Standard and ensuring every space supports residents with dignity, accessibility, and independence.

Do you only work in Melbourne?

No. While we're based in Preston and work extensively across metropolitan Melbourne, we've delivered projects in regional and coastal Victoria including Norlane, Safety Beach, and Wesburn.

Can you work with my existing builder or fit out contractor?

Yes. We regularly collaborate with client-nominated builders and fit-out contractors and provide the documentation needed for accurate quoting and a quality build. If you don't have one yet, we can recommend trusted partners.

What does a free consultation include?

A 30 to 45 minute conversation about your facility, clinical needs, and budget. We'll review what's possible, outline likely planning and compliance considerations, and explain how we'd approach the project. No obligation, no pressure.

How much does a health building designer cost?

Fees depend on the scope and complexity of your project. After our free initial consultation, we provide a detailed, fixed fee proposal so you know exactly what's included from day one.
