The Evoke Projects story

While we like to focus on the here and now and the future, an ‘Overview’ would not be complete without a little history. The company was founded in 1969 by Neil Kennard. What started as a traditional family business manufacturing furniture has become a national design, construction + project management firm, specialising in medical and workplace projects.

Whilst the youngest of 5 sons, Jerry Kennard having grown up in the business now owns and manages the company, leading an amazing team of experts who all share a common goal – to help clients increase patient attraction + retainment, team wellbeing + productivity, and practice revenue through strategic design.

The Evoke Process

The Evoke Projects’ process of EXPLORE . DESIGN . CREATE is pivotal in obtaining the optimum result and meeting all your project delivery objectives.


EXPLORE… Practice Strategy

We start with a detailed dissection of who you are as an organisation, your team, your business objectives and what you stand for. This investigation stage will form the basis for the design phase and if we perform in listening, we will deliver the ultimate personalised solution for your medical space.

Our approach to every healthcare design project is founded on 2 of Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: ‘begin with the end in mind’ and ‘seek first to understand and then be understood’, along with WELL Building Standard concepts to ensure the health of your patient and team is optimum and can drive your business forward.

To create a commercial interior design that not only achieves your operational objectives but will also increase your patient and team’s engagement, productivity and retention, our designers listen and learn. They engage in one-on-one meetings with your key team members, as well as conducting team surveys if required. It is vitally important that we gain an in-depth understanding of your organisation in order to achieve the best project delivery result.

The fundamental strategic elements that need to be considered and woven into the fabric of your physical space include:

Technology that improves the patient experience
Patient flow, staff flow and information flow
Advocacy and facilitation of team wellbeing


DESIGN… and development of custom practice solutions

The interior design team at Evoke Projects are absolutely passionate about modern practice design and will hold your hand throughout your exciting journey.

Design is so much more than just aesthetics and plans on paper; it requires a holistic approach and can really make a difference to the well-being, engagement, motivation and productivity of your team, along with attraction and retainment of patients. If your interior design embraces wellness and puts your people and patients first, it really can change the potential success of your practice.

It is imperative that we are intelligent as to the use of your brand and cultural objectives to ensure that your physical environment reflects who you are, and what you stand for as an organisation. True design genius will bring out the DNA of your organisation and allow your team, suppliers and patients to feel an emotional attachment to the space.

With state of the art 3D visualisation, you are provided with the tools to make educated decisions along the way about the features, fixtures and finishes you select for your space.


CREATE… project delivery and construction

Our in-house Project Delivery and Construction Project Management team bring together all the skills and services required, so that you can focus on running your business and rely on one highly capable team that’s accountable for your entire project.

Should you partner with Evoke Projects for this phase of your project, you are assigned a dedicated Project Manager who becomes your primary point of contact for the duration of the project.

Communication is the key to the success of any project and as part of our Project Management and Quality Management System processes, you receive access to our client portal where you see where your project is at at any given time. This is also confirmed via regular meetings and email in the form of a weekly update about where the project is at, including progress for that week and highlighting items for the following week.

From certification and statutory requirements through to final completion and move in, we will seamlessly manage the creation of your new healthcare space. Our methodology and approach to meeting delivery of the complete scope of works in the required timeline is stipulated in our Quality Management Process, which is certified to ISO9001:2015.
