Building a Dental Office

Building out a dental office is a meticulous process, requiring a team of knowledgeable professionals to efficiently and effectively get the job done. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes, which goes beyond just the groundwork (like location and decor).

In this article, we will discuss the first critical steps to take before building out a dental office, which will lead your practice to success

Find an Equipment Vendor

Deciding on an equipment vendor may seem like a task for further along in the process, but we recommend making it one of the first priorities. In order to be able to efficiently plan out a space, it’s important to understand the type of equipment that will be within the space and any accommodations the equipment requires.

For example, various types of dental equipment require specialty plumbing fixtures in order to properly supply water, others have special power requirements. Knowing the type of equipment that will be installed throughout the office allows contractors to plan and prepare accordingly, ensuring that you won’t run into any trouble when the equipment is being installed.

At Diversified Construction, we have several exceptional vendors to connect you with, which will ensure you hit the ground running.

Align a Team Simultaneously

In an ideal world – your general contractor, engineers, architect and other professionals working on your space would be selected and brought on at the same time. When the building and remodeling team is aligned simultaneously, the project is more efficiently planned out and the overall project duration is shortened, saving time and money.

Your team of professionals will be able to communicate and collaborate directly with one another throughout the entire process. This ensures your project goals are planned for and the whole Team is aligned in making them happen. Additionally, thorough planning will maximize the value of your dental office, while also making sure the project is kept within budget.

Aligning the team of professionals at the same time will ensure a successful project process and completion.
