<p>What if the thing making your working day harder isn’t the workload?</p><p><strong>What if it&#39;s the building?</strong></p><p>In this episode we&#39;re joined by Jerry Kennard from <a href="https://www.evokeprojects.com.au/"><u>⁠Evoke Projects⁠</u></a>, someone who designs veterinary spaces for a living and has watched a lot of owners get this expensively wrong. Because a practice build always starts as a dream: the right location, the beautiful fit-out - the clinic you&#39;ve always wanted. But plan it wrong, and that dream can quickly turn into a trap that stifles growth and demotivates teams . And most of it comes down to five mistakes that are a lot easier to avoid before you sign anything than after.</p><p>In this episode, you&#39;ll learn:</p><ul><li>Why falling in love with your site might be the single most expensive mistake you can make</li><li>The &quot;too big or too small&quot; problem, and how to future-proof for expansion without drowning in debt</li><li>Why designing for the pet and the client but forgetting your team is a false economy</li><li>How lean design and smart workflow let you do more in less space, without burning anyone out</li></ul><p><br></p><p>A great clinic isn&#39;t designed to look good on opening day. It&#39;s designed to perform every day.
