The Challenge
In 2012, Medix Occupational Health Services felt strongly they needed a new location for their successful and expanding independent medical examination practice.
 
The owner hired Proxymity to provide our expertise in independently assessing, planning and managing property projects in a way that supports and enhances larger strategic and financial objectives. 

Discovery
As doctors focused on patient care and client service, taking time away for a construction project was not 
their core competency. They were concerned about the following:

• Fulfilling the owner's long-term financial goals while while being able to expand the business.
• Maintaining quality while prudently managing upfront up-front costs.
• Staying on schedule and on budget.

Creation
With findings from the Discovery process, Proxymity’s team used specific objectives, budget parameters, and timing requirements from Medix to detail a project scope, schedule, and costs.

Proxymity identified the contractors and providers that could best support the medical team’s vision. Without a clear, detailed road map that all team members could work from, Medix would have wasted time and money on inefficient design and construction processes. 

Execution
The Medix project met all original deadlines. Medix spent their time and energy serving patients, generating revenue, and increasing their medical practice’s market share, rather than managing builders and vendors.

Seamless planning and execution under Proxmity's guidance meant the right questions got asked up front and the right contracts were in place at the start of the project. 

Results

• Over 200 internal staff-hours saved.
  
  
• After construction, furniture, equipment, and moving the project was $184,983 under budget.
  
  
• Delivered on schedule a newly constructed building that reflects Medix's market position as a leading independent medical exam provider.
