Dental Office DESIGN PROCESS

© 2018 Design Ergonomics, Fall River MA– 2 –6.26.18

Whether you’re planning your first practice straight out of Associateship, or launching your 10th in a growing group empire, building a dental office is an extraordinary process - and at times both challenging and exacting.

This document outlines key steps & highlights project mile-stones – and provides significant detail on Design Ergonomics’ development strategies and processes.

Your office will have an enormous impact on your future; it’s where you’ll spend much of your time, determines your financial security, and allows you to bring health and well-being to the community. We are honored to be part of the creation process.Please note that this document addresses issues specific to purchasing a lot for Ground Up Construction or an Existing Building for develop-ment. If you are considering leasing a space, please see “Dental Office Design Process - Tenant Improvement”, also available on our website.

Every building project has unique elements; however, most follow the general flow as outlined below. While this outline may appear simple at a glance, there are an enormous number of details to track and many people involved. (Note that “Gather Your Team” is one of the first things you should consider!)Design Ergonomics’ focus is Practice Development – locating the best possible site and designing the most efficient, comfortable and attractive office possible. While these tasks fall mainly under the Location and Design Phases (highlighted in red), we look forward to accompanying you on your entire journey.Where possible, a “Time Frame” will be given for each step in each phase. Please note that these ranges are rough estimates only and may be subject to significant variation depending on your particular project.



• Financial Advisor (may be beneficial during rough budgeting phase)• Banker/Lender• Attorney• Architectural & Interior Designers• Clinical Specialist (equipment decisions impact design, budget and time-lines)• Construction Team - Architect - Engineers (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) - Contractor

Building a new office is a Team Effort - though the members on the team, and how much input each will have may vary considerably with each project. Key players include:

Depending on your project type, your Construction Team may be from one organization or several. We have developed a large network of trusted referral partners across all the areas listed above. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you would like advice or recommendations.

Define Goals and Requirements

Gather Your Team

P H A S E O N E • E A R LY P L A N N I N G Time Frame: Varies

Time Frame: Varies (but could be several weeks)

• How many ops do I need at opening?• How about 3 years from now? Or 10?• How long am I going to work in this office? - End-game retirement office? - Lay ground work for later expansion? - Plan on opening a second office later?• What’s important to me? - Location - Start-up costs or long term value - Efficiency & Productivity - Ease of bringing in Associates - Appearance• What are my BIG PICTURE Goals? - Personal Wealth, Charity, More Family Time? - I just love Dentistry and want to do more of it!

This is “Big Picture” thinking. You need to ask yourself a lot of questions. Then think about the answers – and ask them again. At this point, it’s easy to get lost in short term thinking and challenges, but the decisions you make today will affect your career for years to come. So, think long term.



P H A S E O N E • E A R LY P L A N N I N G

As your vision of the future comes into focus, you need to develop a realistic picture of what it will take to get there – and you need to start with a budget.Developing a reasonable budget (one that you can expect to attain) can be somewhat convoluted, and is impacted by a number of factors including:

This process often occurs as a cycle of propose, estimate, investigate, and refine – but it begins by examining your Goals and Requirements. A Financial Advisor and/or your Lender may be helpful in this process. Additionally, we have tools that can help suggest very rough costs for a variety of project types. These address such issues as operatory count, regional construction cost variation and level of finish treatment. Balancing what you want now, what you want for the future, and what you can reasonably afford can be a challenge. Fortunately, we’ve helped 1000’s of doctors through the process and one of Design Ergonomics’ greatest strengths lies in our ability to design very cost effective offices suited to a wide range of needs.

Site Selection

Finding the right location is absolutely critical to the success of your new practice; to maximize your investment, it’s got to be perfect. Obviously, enlisting the aid of a Realtor can help with this process. Howev-er, in 20 years of designing exclusively for the dental field, we’ve analyzed 1000’s of construction sites and have developed a deep understanding of what works. There are issues unique to the dental industry that even a com-mercial real estate specialist may not be aware of.

We offer a range of service options to help you make an in-formed decision on just the right spot to build the practice of your dreams. All options utilize an algorithm we’ve developed to analyze and quantify nearly a hundred variables, including:

If you’re having trouble finding an appropriate location – or would like us to review and compare locations you have found – please ask your Design Specialist for more informa-tion.Finally, you may want to determine feasibility of potential sites. Many clients utilize our Blocking Diagram design ser-vice to accomplish this. It is affordable, flexible and fast (see Phase Three, Design Development for details).

• Maximum exposure to your preferred demographic.

• Municipal or infrastructure hurdles that cause delays and cost-overruns.

• Visibility, traffic and access factors that work for you, not against you.

• Analysis of existing improvements (structures, etc.)

PHASE TWO • PROPERTY ACQUISITIONTime Frame: 4-12 weeks



Negotiations & Due Diligence

Preliminary Site Engineering & “As Builts”

You’ll want an attorney on your team at this point; it’s better to have one familiar with you and your project now, than to wait until you really need one because something unexpected has come up. He or she can provide critical input at loan, purchase or contract review times throughout the process.At negotiations you will determine your Due Diligence period. During this time, you will have a Civil Engineer investigate the site to reveal any issues that might cause it to be non-viable. Should such issues become apparent, you may be able to pull out of the sale and still retain your escrow. Again, consult your attorney.Launching the Conceptual Design process during (or even before) the Due Diligence period may also prove useful. Blocking Diagrams (see next section) can help determine the land or structure valuation. Establishing the scale of practice that the property can support will give you a clearer sense of the potential return on your investment – and hence, what the property is worth to you.

During the Due Diligence period, have a Civil Engineer prepare a preliminary Site Engineering survey during the Due Diligence period.This is a basic survey, and items covered will depend on the nature of the particular site. Such items may include a preliminary site plan, rough building location and allowable footprint, soil & environmental testing, water remediation strategies etc. A much more comprehen-sive study will be performed at a later date, which will be included with the Construction Documentation.As Builts - If you are purchasing an existing structure in which to build your Office, you will need current drawings of the site. These plans are known as “As Builts” and detail all the dimensional and structural elements of a location as it currently exists. While we can create a Conceptual schematic of how a space might be utilized (see Blocking Diagram, page 9), the accuracy of such a drawing depends heavily on what we have to work from. Outdated or in-complete drawings may require changes or incur significant costs when detailed design work begins. Your Realtor can request As Builts from the seller. If they are not available, you will need to make arrangements to have them created before any reliable design work can be done on the space.

Conceptual - Consultation

If you worked with us on Site Selection, then we’ve developed a good relationship at this point. Otherwise, we need to get to know more about you; your goals, how you perform dentistry and your project expectations. To start this process, you’ll be asked to fill out our Dental Office Planner (“DOP”), This is a fairly quick online form that will give us the basic information we need to build an early profile of your project. We will also schedule a Consult Call with you. Design is a visual medium. Whenever possible, we conduct Consultation and Plan Reviews via Screen Share. We’ve found this to be the most effective method to relay our design philosophies to our clients, while providing them the opportunity for immediate feedback and commentary. During the Design Consult Call, we’ll review your long term goals and desires, focusing on the scope of your project. While operatory count, number of floors, basement amenities and other architectural elements are critical to this discussion, they are not the only elements under consideration. We’ll also investigate your preferred patient demographic, staffing levels, and clinical systems (current and desired).Operatory equipment has a significant impact on design and the practice development process – including budgetary considerations. How rooms are utilized plays a role in their size and arrangement; dedicated hygiene rooms, surgical suites, plumbed vs mobile nitrous, hand-held X-rays and a number of other factors need to be taken into account to create the most efficient and effective design for both patient and doctor. To this end, we will also introduce you to one of our Clinical Specialists. This member of your team will guide you on what equipment decisions need to be made and when.

PHASE THREE • DESIGN DEVELOPMENTTime Frame: 1 week or faster



Conceptual - Blocking Diagram & Op Planning

Now the Design Process launches in earnest, and we begin with a conceptual Blocking Diagram.

A dental practice is a system. Before you define the walls, it’s crit-ical to layout the flow of that sys-tem – understanding the functional demands of each space and how they relate to one another. This fast, flexible, and responsive design approach will clarify your goals for the future and solidify your vision of the perfect practice.

Complex Issues SimplifiedThe Blocking Diagram is a preliminary space/plan concept used to outline the layout and flow of your future practice. Using simplified square footage calculations and geometric space planning, we cre-ate a schematic diagram representing one possible configuration of your space.At this stage, we focus on maximizing the efficiency, capacity and comfort of your practice as a whole. While the result looks simple, your Blocking Diagram represents 20 years of research maxi-mizing dental office productivity and cost-effective design execution.As schematics, these proposals are flexible and highly responsive to your input. This creates a de-velopment and revision process that is faster and more effective than traditional floor planning tech-niques – and at a much lower cost.

IterationsOur standard Blocking Diagram service includes up to four design iterations. These may be used to refine concepts within a single design theme, or to experiment with different approaches. They may even be used to assess multiple spaces. Each iteration will be presented via Screen Share. This allows us to show how design concepts may look in the real world and to make minor changes for immediate approval based on your input.Depending the on the number of iterations required, the Blocking Diagram phase of Design Develop-ment can be done quite quickly – sometimes in just a few days. Once you are satisfied, the approved design can move to the next step in Design Development: the Floor Plan.

Refinement - Preliminary Floor Plan


A Floor Plan is created by translating the conceptual elements that were established during the Blocking Diagram process – patient flow, clinical sys-tems, sterilization, inventory and storage – into a formal drawing. As the basis from which all other documents are created, it must accurately depict the specific details that allow the Blocking concepts to be realized. Missteps and oversights at this stage can snowball into costly changes down the road. Simply changing the location of a door, or the orientation of a room – which are trivial matters to an Architect – can have dramatic and detrimen-tal impact on traffic flow in a dental environment.

Most Architects don’t design exclusively for the dental industry. We do. As the nation’s largest independent dental office design firm, we’ve had the opportunity to help develop 1000’s of practices, and have seen what works – and what doesn’t. While our Blocking Dia-grams establish the scheme for an incredibly effective practice, they truly are conceptual frameworks only.

To avoid potential issues, we strongly recommend having our design team take your approved Blocking Diagram to Floor Plan (initial, and then final).We will ensure critical design elements are maintained, as well as provide additional drawing details which accurately define Operatory, Sterilization, Resupply and other clinical considerations unique to a dental practice.

Your Floor Plan is the single most important

document in the Design Development process

by virtue of the fact that it is the reference

point for all subsequent Construction

Documentation.



Refinement - Equipment & Final Floor Plan

Before Design Ergonomics or your Architect can produce a Final Floor plan, you must finalize many decisions regarding equipment; certain structural, electrical and plumbing elements that need to be delineated at this point depend on these decisions. Where possible, Design Ergonomics will provide drawing details that will become part of the eventual plan set (“Construction Drawings”) that your Construction Partner will use to build your office and install the equipment that drives it. Typically, these include one or more Operato-ry designs as well as Sterilization.

Here again, we invite you to make use of our Clinical Specialists. No matter what your equipment selections are, they will have valuable insight on a broad range of topics - from HVAC to autoclaves.From your Initial Floor Plan through Final, we will consult and review with you, making changes as needed. Initial Floor Plan presentation may take place via Screen Share. However, changes at this point tend to be minor (though precise) and are often handled through email.Once approved, we will create a document package for your Final Floor Plan that includes:

Interior Design

Interior Design (“ID”) is listed here at the end of the Design Development Phase only because a Final ID Package includes drawings that require an approved Floor Plan to create. That said, the ID process, style, and level of finish need to be top-of-mind from the very beginning. Finish treatments can have a significant impact on your overall costs, and these considerations need to be included (at least in a general sense) when you’re developing an initial budget.A critical point worth noting; ID – especially in a medical environment – is not for amateurs. Why?

Interior Design is as much Science and Business as it is an Art Form.There is a deep psychology specific to creating a calming, reassuring flow in a dental office – an environment that fills many people with anxiety. Additionally, building codes regarding medical facility finishes can be stringent, and those out-side the industry may not have access to commercial grade materials required. Finally, formal ID demands a significant degree of professional drafting expertise and requires a large investment in time.

The ID ProcessDesign Ergonomics offers multiple levels of Interior Design, from a selection of pre-formatted options to full custom package development. Regardless of level, we start with a complimentary consultation call. To prepare for this call, think about styles and finishes that appeal to you. Find examples if pos-sible; not just on the ID and Portfolio sections of our site, but on Pinterest, in magazines and other visual sources. Your ID specialist will guide you through the process, but we value your ideas and need your input to tailor a package that best suits your goals, aesthetics and budget.

PHASE THREE • DESIGN DEVELOPMENTTime Frame: Throughout (complete ID docs by Bid submission)



Interior Design con’t

Throughout Blocking and Floor Plan, we’ll work with you to develop an aesthetics and materials package via email, screen shares and shipments of physical samples. The first deliverable in this pro-cess will be a Design Board, which represents color schemes, materials and texture expressions to be used throughout your practice for a cohesive and professional look.

With an approved Design Board, we can begin to gather all the relevant material and finish information your Construction Part-ner will require for a bid set and eventual execution.

During this process, we’ll also consult with you on a variety of architectural issues related specifically to Interior Design. These include the Reception Desk design, Door & Cabinet styles, Dec-orative Lighting styles and more. The final package includes:

As with the Operatory and Sterilization details, these drawings and schedules will be folded into the final Construction Documents prepared by your Architect. Your designer will also be available during the construction phase to review materials with your Contractor or discuss changes that may arise.

PHASE THREE • DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Exterior Design

Our design specialty lies in interiors – establishing unmatched clinical efficiencies & creating an excep-tional patient experience, with the most cost-effective use of space in the industry.While your Exterior Design will be dictated in part by the floor plans we may produce, your Architect will handle the details of design development. We will, however, work with them to ensure a cohesive exe-cution of your overall vision.

Time Frame: 1-2 Weeks



PHASE FOUR • DESIGN EXECUTIONConstruction Documents

At this point, the vision of your future practice is clear – but you can’t put up a building on vision alone. The documents created up to now have been schematics – accurate, but limited to layout. To move forward to the bidding & permitting pro-cesses and eventually to construction, you need a very comprehensive set of plans, referred to as “Construction Documents”.

Generating Construction Documents is a time consuming process. Be prepared for this phase to take up to 12 weeks. These documents are developed by your Architect in conjunction with a variety of engineers, including Mechanical/Plumbing, Electrical and Structural engineers.

As with your initial Floor Plan, the Construction Documents follow a development process from initial to final. Your architect will co-ordinate communications, and you will be asked to review and approve each step, as follows.

Progress Set (preliminary engineering schematics) Bid Set (used for Construction Estimates) MEP Final Approval (Finalized Construction Documents - “Permit Set”)

Bidding

Depending on your Contractor candidates, construction estimates may be based on Architectural drawings at varying levels of completion. Known as a “Bid Set”, you will provide this package to your chosen candidates (typically 3 or 4 com-panies).

When you have selected a Contractor, they will handle the next step, Permitting.

Permitting

The time frame to obtain Permits can vary widely – from as little as a few weeks, to 4 or 5 months. Minor design or engineering changes may require re-submittal (in whole or in part). However, the most common source of delay is the current work-load at your municipal building department.

We suggest you and/or your Contractor speak to the local agencies early in the process. Try to get a feel for how quickly they can move you through this step, as it can significantly impact your overall project time-line.



Time Frame: As little as 2 weeks, but may take several months



PHASE FIVE • CONSTRUCTIONConstruction

Equipment Installation

Final Inspection & CO

We’re committed to the success of your project, from start to finish.When you enter the Construction Phase, we’ll continue communicating with both you and your Contractor. We are happy to review progress photos, and in some cases, will make site visits if issues arise for which we can help advise or provide solutions.

Equipment installation – who does it, and what will it cost – will vary by item type and supplier. Your Contractor will generally handle non-clinical cabinetry, general lighting etc. This should have been clearly delineated in the bid-ding process.The installation of Clinical Equipment – Chairs, X-ray, Delivery, Compressor, Vacuum and more – is commonly done by the suppliers, and prices will vary significantly. Here again, your Clinical Specialist can provide valuable guidance.During this period, you will also be setting up ad-ministrative elements; clerical, computers, phone systems etc.

Everything is in place, but you need your local building authority to sign off on a wide range of items, including structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical – even your clinical systems (lighting, motorized patient chairs). Your Contractor and Archi-tect should be on hand during the inspection to provide necessary information.When the inspection is complete, you’ll receive a Certificate of Occupancy (“CO”). Congratulations! You can now open for business...but have you considered how?

Time Frame: 6 months ±3 months (weather & other variables dependent)


Time Frame: 2-4 weeks (post Install)



A Few Suggestions to Consider Before Your

GRAND OPENING...



Leave Adequate Time to Set Up Your Systems.

Try a Soft Opening with Friends and Family.

Want to Optimize? Get Help.

Your new office is beautiful, but it’s a blank slate. It won’t become a highly-efficient power-house of productivity until all the systems are up and running. And running together.It’s a new space, and it will take some time to pre-pare and settle in to a rhythm. Sterilization, phone systems, software, imaging...all the interdependent activities you’ve come to take for granted are going to be new to both you and your staff.

Before the balloons, confetti, press releases and ribbon-cutting – see some live patients! This will give you an opportunity to work the last of the equipment and system bugs out in a much more low-key fashion. Many of our clients run several days to a week or more seeing only friends and family. Performing a Soft Opening can help ease tensions in what is often an anxious time. This will also give you an opportunity to finalize any last-minute painting touch ups, art-work or furnishing acquisitions as well.

After opening thousands of offices, we realized that the Effi-ciency and Productivity guidance we give during design could be magnified tremendously with some hands-on instruction.To that end, we now offer Clinical Systems Training Programs.These programs can help practices during any stage of growth, but they provide truly remarkable results when applied to start ups.

Our certified Trainers will help establish Inventory, Steriliza-tion & Resupply systems now that will propel your practice to unparalleled heights in the years to come.



Thank You,again for the trust you’ve placed in Design Ergonomics.

Our goal is your complete satisfaction.

We realize an overview document such as this won’t answer every question you have now, or that will come up during the design process. Please don’t hesitate to call or email us if you need clarification on topics covered here. We’re part of your Team. If we don’t have the answers you’re looking for, we will work with you to find them.

We look forward to helping you turn the Practice of Your Dreams into a Reality.



GLOSSARY• As Builts - CAD drawings showing complete internal and external dimensions of an existing building (new

or previously built), including walls, load-bearing structures, stairs, doors, windows and utilities.

• Authority Having Jurisdiction (“AHJ”) - the governing body regulating construction and development of commercial enterprises in a specified region.

• CAD - “Computer Assisted Design,” an electronic file created by Architects, Designers and Draftsmen.

• Construction Documentation - The complete, formal set of plans required by the AHJ to construct an office, including but not limited to; floor-plans, interior and exterior elevations, ID elevations and materials schedules, mechanical/electrical/plumbing/structural plans, and site plans.

• Due Diligence - A period of time included in the P&S used by the purchaser to determine that the proper-ty is suited to their goals and that all elements of the sale as represented by the seller are true and accu-rate.

• Elevation - A architectural drawing showing the face of something (as opposed to a view from above). This may be a building exterior, or interior elements such as cabinetry, reception desks etc.

• Engineering Disciplines (as they relate to a Construction project)Civil, relating to environmental/exterior elements including landscaping, building and parking location and availability, utilities, water remediation, offsets, site entries/exits, and site planning approval.Mechanical/Plumbing, covers HVAC and all fluid flow systems. As a subset, Plumbing Engineers address water service connection to municipal infrastructure (feed and sewage) and develop all piping schematics including feed lines, venting, drainage and waste. In the dental industry, this also covers compressors, vacuum and plumbed nitrous.Electrical, addressing electrical loads, service, wiring schematics and electrical code compliance.

• Escrow - an amount of money or other documents kept in the custody of a third party, transfered only when a specified condition has been fulfilled (eg a Due Diligence period). Depending on the terms of the P&S, this is essentially a deposit which may be refundable during the Due Diligence period.

• HVAC - “Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning”

• Letter of Intent (“LOI”) - An informal agreement including an offer for purchase at an expressed amount. The LOI is the beginning of the Negotiation process and several rounds of offers and counter-offers may be required before both parties accept and sign the LOI.

• Purchase and Sale Agreement (“P&S”) - The agreed upon conditions relating to the transfer of a prop-erty from seller to buyer. This is typically drafted after the LOI has been accepted by both parties and includes relevant conditions such as the length and terms of the Due Diligence period and Escrow.

• Screen Share - An interactive method of presenting drawings and other material in which your computer monitor is set to mirror what your designer is presenting remotely.

• Site Engineering Survey - A comprehensive study of a lot including plat map generation/confirmation, topography, soil analysis, availability of utilities, parking concerns, abutment issues, water remediation and other environmental issues that may impact a lot’s suitability for development.

• Value Engineering (“VE”) - Determining the need – and evaluating the suitability – of alternative finish ma-terials. This may occur in the field during construction and will require the input of your Interior Designer.
