I had the pleasure of working with Chan Ly from Lumos Design on multiple projects, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Over the past seven years, she has transformed our spaces with her exceptional design talent.
Our first project with Chan was an office renovation. Even after seven years, the space remains stunning and relevant, a testament to her timeless design sense. Following that, we engaged Chan for another commercial project, this time in a classic style. Her ability to adapt to different styles was impressive, and the classic design she crafted for us was both elegant and functional.
Most recently, Chan designed a coastal residence for us. She seamlessly incorporated our ideas into the design while adding her own expert touch. Her attention to detail is unparalleled, and she even took the initiative to make changes to the architectural plans, enhancing the flow and functionality of the space.
Chan has worked with us on contemporary, classic, and coastal projects, and she has executed each one with remarkable skill and creativity. Her ability to balance client ideas with her design expertise is truly exceptional. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing designer who can bring your vision to life while delivering outstanding results.

PROCESS GUIDE
STEP ONE – Design Concept
Initial consult & design brief: This stage can be conducted in person, via Zoom or phone consultation to discuss your goals, budget and business vision. We guide you through each step of the design process. Once we receive a design brief from you either during the initial consult or via email, we will send you a design quote. Once you appoint Lumos Design, we conduct a site visit to start the initial design process. Based on your design brief we create a proposed layout plan mood boards with inspirational images, along with a digital sample boards with colours and finishes to assist you to visualise the design direction. Design approval: Once you approve the design concept, we commence the construction drawings. This includes all floor plans, elevations and joinery details as required.
STEP TWO – Quoting Stage & Building Approval
We liaise with shopfitters or builders with regards to your construction budget, requirements and business vision during the quoting stage. We speed up this process by providing detailed drawings and specifications. Building Approvals: We are experienced in seeking design approvals from shopping centre management if your tenancy is within a shopping centre. We also support you to apply for relevant building approvals required for the fitout. Prior to construction, all relevant building approvals must be obtained through the local council or a Private Certifier prior to commencement of construction work. We assist you in the Building Approval process. * Please note, the Private Certifier is external to Lumos Design.
STEP THREE – Construction Stage
Once you receive the quotes for the fitout, you then appointment the best suited Shopfitter to start the construction work. Depending on the size of your fitout, allow 4-8 weeks or more for the construction stage. We collaborate closely with your appointed Shopfitter throughout this process to ensure the project runs smoothly and efficiently. Completion and handover: The Shopfitter will complete the handover stage and they support with providing relevant certificates for your business to operate.

Frequently asked questions
How long do dental fitouts take?
The design process can take 2-8 weeks or more depending on the size of the project, the location and speed of approvals from local councils and private certifiers to obtain relevant building certificates and approvals. The duration of the fitout depends on the scale and design, the availability of building products, materials and finishes, site conditions, contractor's availability and budget. Generally, a small size project can take between 4 - 8 week, medium to large projects can take 6-10 weeks or more.
How much is a dental fitout?
The most accurate way to cost a projects is to send a design drawing package out for quoting. To quote a project it could take 2-3 weeks. For a very rough guide, an estimated cost can range from $2,000 - $2,800 per square meter (exclusive of dental equipment and removable furniture) and this is based on a medium price range for products and finishes.
What space do I need for a 3-chair dental practice?
Minimum 100 - 150 sqm is ideal. Any smaller than 100 sqm can make the space feel tight and may impact ergonomics and efficiency of the space.
