"Right from the start we knew this
was a difficult project. The Clinic’s brief to
Interiors Intoto was to totally renovate our 700sqm 12th
floor breast cancer diagnostic clinic including the installation
of new imaging and consulting rooms, patient waiting areas,
foyer and new toilets. A new computer room was also
required on the ground floor to facilitate our new services
and complement the existing. All this was to be done without
losing a single day’s business, and with mininum disruption
to our staff and patients.
Interiors Intoto’s brief included
the incorporation of our new corporate colours, and to ensure
the completed task was not only functional but in keeping
with the look and feel appropriate for a leading private
breast cancer diagnostic clinic.
Not only was the project completed on
time and within budget but Di McKenzie and her team ensured
that the staged relocation of work areas for staff happened
with a minimum of fuss. Di’s ability to organise
the workflow around 37 staff and 40 to 50 patients on any
one day, and have so few complaints, has to be commended.
On behalf of our team at Sydney Breast
Clinic I want to extend our thanks to Di for so ably leading
the project. I want also to personally thank Di for
her patience and professional guidance. With Di’s help
we have a Clinic that looks good, is comfortable for our
patients, and comfortable and functional for our staff. We
have a great working environment".

“Di
- I have been away from our office for five weeks and
when I returned, was reminded of what a pleasant work
space you created for us. We have been here for over
four years and are still enjoying the amenity of it.

"Interiors
Intoto's role as design consultants and project managers ensured timely completion
of all staged works across an eight month program, with handover of each stage
being consistently met by the nominated teams. The challenge in many ways was
to re-locate our personnel to temporary areas without disruption and refurbishing
those part floor areas in order to ensure a seamless return to allocated working
spaces. This was achieved at
each stage with minimum, downtime".

Di managed the project from start to finish. Her team was so professional in their work. We were kept informed of progress at all times.
I have never been involved in a more stress-free renovation.
We absolutely love the results. What is more, we love that the work was completed within the time-frame and within the budget.

"It was with some trepidation I decided to move from my Pymble apartment into a retirement village. With the caring personalised professional advice from Di, I was able to identify my ‘special treasures’ to be taken with me, from small momentos to furniture and paintings that made my house a home. Di prepared a floor plan of my new environment and worked through the layout with my son to ensure all would be ready for my move. I couldn’t be happier. In fact, as I say to my family and friends ‘I have brought my happiness with me’".

"As a member of the Executive Management Committee I worked with Di McKenzie of Interiors Intoto who was contracted by our Committee to design and manage the entire interiors refurbishment of our unit block. The project involved the refurbishment of all common areas of a 31 unit facility including painting, carpets and individual unit door replacements. I found working with Di an extremely rewarding event, both professionally and personally. Her attention to detail, her day-to-day management of the contractors and her follow-up ensured an outcome that has no doubt added substantial value to our unit block".
