AGED CARE CONSTRUCTION

Aged care and independent living construction in Melbourne and Bendigo

Silverfox Management is a Victorian registered builder and construction manager that delivers residential aged care and independent living projects across Greater Melbourne and Central Victoria, as client-side project manager, superintendent, designer or builder. Its aged care work includes the 90 bed extension of AdventCare Whitehorse at Nunawading, which took the home to 182 beds, and the Granite Hills facility for Euroa Health, 75 beds in 2017 and 85 beds since its 2024 addition.

What we do for aged care providers

An aged care development is a building project wrapped around an operating business, a funding model and a regulator. Silverfox works for the provider in whichever seat the project needs: client-side project manager from masterplan to commissioning, independent superintendent administering the building contract, designer of independent living units, and builder of independent living units and refurbishments.

Interior design and FF&E procurement sit in the same team. Our interior designer specialises in aged care and institutional fit out, so the finishes selections, the loose furniture and the delivery logistics are planned against the construction programme rather than after it.

The things that decide the opening date

  • Power authority infrastructure. A large facility often needs a new substation or a supply upgrade, with a distributor lead time that can run past a year. At Whitehorse the power authority upgrade was on the critical path from the start and was run as its own sub-project.
  • Sub-division and titles, sequenced with construction so that works to lots that are not the building do not hold up the building.
  • Town planning, which for a residential aged care facility is usually a permit-required use with car parking, traffic and amenity as the sticking points.
  • FF&E and commissioning. A finished building still cannot open until the beds, the kitchen and laundry equipment, nurse call, fire and security systems are delivered, commissioned and the staff trained.

Building beside an operating home

Most aged care work happens on a campus with residents in it. The construction methodology has to answer resident safety first: infection control between the site and the home, fire separation maintained at every stage, noise and vibration windows, and one point of contact between the site manager and the director of nursing.

Regional and metropolitan

Silverfox works on aged care projects from its Flemington office across Greater Melbourne and from its Bendigo office across Central Victoria, from Ballarat to Echuca. Granite Hills at Euroa was delivered for a regional health service; Whitehorse was delivered for a metropolitan provider.

Questions

Common questions

Can Silverfox manage or build an aged care facility in regional Victoria?

Yes. Silverfox has a Bendigo office and works across Central Victoria, from Ballarat to Echuca. It was superintendent for Euroa Health on the Granite Hills facility at Euroa, 75 beds completed in December 2017, and returned for its 10 bed addition in 2024.

Which role should an aged care provider appoint first?

The client-side project manager. That seat owns the masterplan, the approvals sequence, the authority infrastructure and the alignment of construction with the provider's funding and accreditation milestones. The provider needs at least one party independent of the builder and answerable only to the provider.

Does Silverfox handle FF&E procurement for aged care?

Yes. Interior design, finishes selections and FF&E procurement, including selections, delivery and installation, are run in house by an interior designer who specialises in aged care and institutional fit out.
