Consultation
What
do I want to achieve?
The first step in the process is to determine what your needs
are. Obviously your existing space is not adequate and it is important
to understand why, so we can be sure that your new space will
meet your needs. We do an in-depth analysis touching on a variety
of issues for you to consider so we know that you will have the
right space in the right place.
Space Allocation
How
much space do you really need?
Once we have a thorough understanding of your goal we move on
to the space allocation phase. In this phase we determine the
exact amount of square footage appropriate for your needs. It
is necessary to keep in mind the extra space you may need to adhere
to the various federal and local codes.
Initial Design
Layout
What
is the best design for me?
After we have determined the space requirements we begin work
on the initial design layout. The two most important concepts
to keep in mind when designing your suite are function and flow.
Function and flow must be considered for each area to be sure
each room is the correct size and properly positioned for convenience.
We also discuss future needs. The space we design today should
continue to work for you for as long as you plan to stay.

abilities. We discuss what options are available and strive to
set your office apart with unique designs that are within your
budget. As an example lighting coves, wall or ceiling recesses,

Do
I need custom cabinets?
Cabinets are an essential part of any dental or medical office.
Custom cabinetry design will ensure that they function to your
specific needs. We use our design skills to develop cabinetry
that will function with efficiency, may provide space saving advantages
and can add to the esthetic appeal of your office.

What
are bid plans?
With the layout complete, we move on to the preparation
of bid plans. Bid plans contain the specifications general contractors
will need to provide you with an accurate bid. They can include
Dimensioning, Carpentry, Reflected Ceiling and Lighting, Plumbing,
Electrical, Lower and Upper Cabinets specifications and other

successfully. Our plans are computerized so that we can transfer
them through electronic mail. During the bidding process or the
build-out phase we will be happy to answer any questions related
