TESTIMONIALS – COMMERCIAL SERVICES

"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. The fitout and furnishings are first class and still attract favourable comment from our clients, particularly those who are visiting us for the first time.

I needed someone to push me to extend the budget, to achieve a superior workplace, and that is what we have ”.

Miles Felstead Realty Pty Ltd P: 02 9969 7611 M: 0409 451 877

Project:   Various residential projects

"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’".

Project:   Residential downsize

"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".
