Maintaining Operational Workflow During Agricultural Refurbishments

One common worry faced when deciding to undertake a refurbishment is the fear of having to wind down services during the process. We make sure that there is no unnecessary hindrance to any day-to-day operations of the facilities, so the clinic can remain functional. Agricultural refurbishment and veterinary practice refurbishment are both necessary processes to help keep all machinery and facilities to a safe and modern standard, which helps both customer and client.

Generally, we recommend that refurbishments are carried out every 4-5 years as this ensures the inevitable wear and tear does not grow into something more serious that may lead to requiring something bigger than a refurbishment. Frequent veterinary practice refurbishments also allow for the opportunity to upgrade medical equipment to more modern technology.

Agricultural Building Refurbishment

Consistent agricultural building refurbishment is a must for any type of agricultural building, as there is always a large strain on these types of buildings from heavy machinery, storing of livestock and products.

It is essential for the area that keeps one of the most important parts of the agricultural sector to be maintained to a high standard. We have provided refurbishments for countless agricultural buildings, from recladding storage barns to a complete reshuffle of internal storage areas to accommodate more livestock or simply just modernising and updating the building to make it look like the professional area you deserve.

We understand agricultural refurbishments can be a huge hindrance to operational efficiency, which is why many people put it off, but Agrarian will make sure we understand how you operate as well as how you use the space, so we can cater to your needs to make sure the refurbishment impacts the operations and workflow as little as possible.

Veterinary Practice Refurbishment & Upgrades

Veterinary practice refurbishment is a vital part of any veterinary practice's lifecycle, as it is important not only to the customers but also to the staff to maintain a safe and healthy environment. This is only achieved by regularly updating and refitting the veterinary practice.

We advise that refurbishments and upgrades be made every 4-5 years so that the practice can stay up to date on technology, as well as any new laws and regulations. Veterinary practice refurbishments and upgrades do not necessarily mean expanding the footprint. A lot of the time, Agrarian are able to provide the necessary upgrades or refurbishments without having to expand the overall footprint of the site, helping to keep costs down to a minimum.

We also work closely with the acting veterinarian, practice manager and clinical team on site to ensure all practice refurbishments are carried out without any unneeded disruptions to ongoing operations and animal welfare. Upgrades can come in many ways, for example, it can be the inclusion of an oxygen generator and piped gases through the building, or the rationalisation of space to make the workflow more efficient. Agrarian can help to review the current layout and discuss possible ways for improvement of the space.

Why Choose Agrarian Veterinary Architecture?

Agrarian was first established in October 2000. We started with residential projects. Over time our knowledge and experience grew. We now offer services in areas such as Equestrian, Commercial, Veterinary and many more. Agrarian is committed to offering the best service available and will work closely with clients and developers to ensure an efficient, seamless and desirable outcome.

From small animal clinics and referral hospitals to livestock barns and equestrian arenas, we design and deliver facilities built around the animals, workflows, and people that use them.
Briefing, design, costing, planning, building control, on-site delivery, and project and construction management all sit under one roof. Making it that much easier to go from concept to completion.
We know what RCVS Practice Standards demand, how infection control influences material choices, when and where different levels of radiation protection are required, what drainage an equestrian arena actually needs, and how a modern livestock building should flow.

The Agrarian Difference

- Lack of veterinary and equestrian expertise in designs
- Poor Practice Standards Scheme knowledge
- Workflows are ignored in the design
- Lack of radiation requirements and infection control understanding
- Budget overruns mid-build
