Dr. Martinez had outgrown her dental office.

Her chairs were full. Her team was expanding. But her space? Tight operatories. Outdated finishes. A reception area that no longer reflected the level of care she provided.

Patients noticed.

She didn’t just need more square footage — she needed a smarter, more strategic environment that supported growth, technology, efficiency, and patient comfort.

That’s when she partnered with our specialized dental construction team.

Within months, her new space wasn’t just bigger — it was transformative. Workflow improved. Patient retention increased. Case acceptance rose. Her practice finally reflected the excellence of her dentistry.

This is the power of intentional dental construction.

“A dental office should be designed to perform as beautifully as the dentistry delivered inside it. When you build with purpose, you create an experience that supports growth, efficiency, and patient trust from day one.”
— Anderson Dos Santos, Oceanview Building Group

Dental Construction in 2026: It’s About More Than Walls

Whether you’re launching your first office, remodeling an existing clinic, or expanding into a new market, dental office construction in 2026 is about more than finishes and floorplans. It’s about creating environments that:

• Improve patient comfort
• Streamline clinical workflows
• Enhance staff productivity
• Increase long-term profitability

At Oceanview Building Group, we specialize in designing and building extraordinarily functional, visually stunning dental clinics throughout South Florida. From Boca Raton to surrounding areas, our integrated design-build expertise ensures your space aligns perfectly with your goals.

1. Patient-Centered Design Reduces Anxiety and Builds Loyalty

Today’s dental patients expect more than clinical efficiency — they expect comfort.

Modern dental construction focuses on:

✔ Welcoming, hospitality-inspired reception areas
✔ Natural lighting and calming materials
✔ Noise control and privacy-conscious layouts
✔ Consultation rooms designed for case acceptance

When patients feel at ease, they return — and they refer.

2. Workflow-Driven Layouts Increase Daily Production

Every square foot of a dental office must serve a purpose.

Strategic planning of operatories, sterilization centers, storage, and administrative zones can dramatically improve efficiency. A well-designed space:

• Reduces unnecessary movement
• Improves infection control flow
• Supports faster room turnover
• Maximizes usable square footage

Design isn’t just aesthetic — it’s operational strategy.

3. Integrated Technology Planning Is Essential

The dental offices of 2026 are built with technology in mind from the ground up.

Infrastructure must support:

• Digital imaging systems
• CBCT and advanced diagnostics
• Integrated patient communication tools
• Touchless check-in and smart scheduling systems

Retrofitting for tech later is costly. Planning for it during construction saves time, money, and frustration.

4. Sustainable, High-Performance Materials Protect Your Investment

Sustainability in dental construction isn’t just about being eco-friendly — it’s about building smarter.

Energy-efficient lighting, advanced HVAC systems, durable finishes, and thoughtful material selection reduce long-term operational costs and support healthier indoor environments for patients and staff alike.

A high-performance building protects your ROI.

5. Your Space Is Your Brand

Before a patient experiences your dentistry, they experience your environment.

From flooring and lighting to millwork and color palette, your office communicates:

✨ Professionalism
✨ Modernity
✨ Cleanliness
✨ Trust

A cohesive design reinforces your reputation and elevates perceived value — which directly impacts case acceptance and growth.

Your dentistry is exceptional. Your space should be too.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence promises to revolutionize healthcare delivery, yet the transition to an AI-enabled hospital requires far more than installing new software. True transformation demands meticulous cultural and strategic alignment that extends seamlessly into the physical environment. A high-tech system cannot reach its potential if the facility is not explicitly designed to support new digital workflows, data security, and collaborative, AI-assisted decision-making spaces. 

As healthcare leadership finalizes budgets and architectural plans for the critical 2026 fiscal year, this is the vital moment to ensure your facility’s design reinforces your AI strategy with Oceanview Building Group. We specialize in providing the Blueprint for Success—designing and constructing modernized healthcare spaces that are structurally and culturally optimized for the future of care. 

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, the AI-enabled hospital is no longer a distant aspiration — it is an emerging reality. As we stand at the intersection of clinical excellence and digital innovation, artificial intelligence offers a profound opportunity to reimagine how hospitals operate, how care is delivered, and how outcomes are measured. For healthcare systems across the Middle East, this transformation is not just about technology — it is about leadership, vision, and the courage to redesign care around human needs.

From reactive to predictive: a new clinical paradigm

Traditionally, hospitals have operated in reactive mode — responding to illness, managing crises, and navigating resource constraints. AI shifts this paradigm by enabling predictive, personalized, and proactive care. Machine learning algorithms can now analyze vast datasets — from radiology scans to genomic profiles — to detect patterns invisible to the human eye. This translates into earlier diagnoses, more accurate treatment plans, and reduced clinical errors.

For example, AI-powered decision support tools can flag high-risk patients in emergency departments, enabling timely interventions. In oncology, algorithms trained on thousands of pathology slides can assist clinicians in identifying tumor subtypes with remarkable precision. These are not theoretical use cases — they are already being piloted across leading institutions in the UAE.

Optimizing patient flow and experience

One of the most tangible benefits of AI lies in streamlining patient journeys. Hospitals are complex ecosystems where delays in one department ripple across the entire system. AI can optimize scheduling, bed allocation, and discharge planning by continuously learning from operational data. Predictive analytics can forecast patient volumes, helping administrators prepare for surges and allocate staff accordingly.

Moreover, natural language processing (NLP) tools can enhance patient engagement by powering chatbots and virtual assistants that answer queries, schedule appointments, and provide post-discharge instructions. These technologies not only reduce administrative burden but also empower patients with timely, personalized information — an essential ingredient in building trust and improving satisfaction.

Resource management and predictive maintenance

Beyond clinical care, AI is revolutionizing how hospitals manage their infrastructure. Predictive maintenance algorithms can monitor equipment performance in real time, flagging potential failures before they occur. This minimizes downtime, reduces costs, and ensures continuity of care.

Inventory management is another area ripe for transformation. AI can track usage patterns of medical supplies, anticipate demand, and automate procurement. This is particularly valuable in multi-site hospital networks, where centralized visibility and coordination are critical. This is essential for scalability.

Embedding AI as a strategic imperative

Integrating AI into hospital operations requires more than technical deployment — it demands cultural and strategic alignment. Leadership must champion a vision where technology augments — not replaces — human expertise. Clinicians need to be involved from the outset, co-designing solutions that fit their workflows and respect clinical judgment.

Data governance is equally vital. Hospitals must ensure that AI systems are trained on ethically sourced, representative data, and that outputs are transparent and explainable. Regulatory frameworks such as NABIDH and Malaffi provide a strong foundation for secure data exchange, but hospitals must go further — embedding privacy, equity, and accountability into every algorithm.

The role of visionary leadership

As someone who has led healthcare transformation across the Middle East, I believe the AI-enabled hospital is not just a technical milestone — it is a leadership challenge. It calls for bold decisions, cross-sector collaboration, and a relentless focus on outcomes. Board members, regulators, and hospital executives must work together to define metrics that matter: reduced readmissions, improved clinician satisfaction, enhanced patient safety. These outcomes must guide every AI initiative, ensuring that technology serves the mission — not the other way around.

Ambitions for a human-centred future

Ultimately, the promise of AI lies in its ability to make healthcare more human. By automating routine tasks, it frees clinicians to focus on empathy and connection. By personalising treatment, it honours the uniqueness of each patient. And by optimising operations, it allows hospitals to deliver care that is not only efficient but compassionate.

As we look to the future, the AI-enabled hospital will be defined not by its machines, but by its values. It will be a place where innovation meets integrity, where data serves dignity, and where every patient journey is guided by intelligence — with a human touch.

AI success starts with a facility that is strategically engineered to support it. Don’t waste budget on technology that your current infrastructure can’t handle.

In South Florida and across the state of Florida, where sunshine is abundant year-round, solar power is transforming the way businesses think about energy—and the dental industry is no exception. Dental practices rely heavily on lighting, air conditioning, and advanced equipment, making them some of the most energy-intensive professional spaces. By adopting solar energy, practices not only reduce their environmental footprint but also create a more sustainable, cost-effective model that benefits patients, staff, and the wider community.

At Oceanview Building Group, led by Anderson Dos Santos, we’ve seen firsthand how integrating solar solutions into both residential and commercial builds adds long-term value. With hundreds of projects completed throughout Florida, Anderson and his team bring fresh eyes and a new perspective to every build, ensuring each space is not only functional and beautiful but also future-focused. By combining proven construction expertise with innovative technology, they help clients—from homeowners to dental practice owners—design and build properties that stand out while saving on operational costs.

As the depletion of non-renewable resources become more severe and the energy crisis intensifies around the world, more and more sectors and industries are looking for renewable, clean sources of power. The oral healthcare providers don’t want to be left behind in its quest for new energy sources. They are making a frantic and desperate attempt to use “green technology” for sustainability and greater cost savings.

Renewable Energy World writes in an article that “Green Dentistry” will become the mantra for many health clinics around the world. Solar energy has also powered a number of technological breakthroughs and innovations in this sector and also in other fields of medical science.

Solar powered innovations are indispensable for off-grid communities

Although the rush for solar energy transformation and progress has been much more in the developed countries around the world, the need is much more glaring and discernible in communities around the world that subsist without adequate energy generation and supply.

For those communities still not connected to power grids, solar photovoltaic cells can transform their lives by harnessing solar power and not only providing power to their homes but also at community health centers where innovations can lead to implementation of heath care best practices at affordable rates and also drive the search for credible solutions to unique problems in a particular community or a particular income group.

Some of the most notable innovations supported by solar energy

• Solar powered toothbrush: Solar powered toothbrushes can be recommended by rural oral healthcare clinics to patients suffering from severe dental plaque and cavity problems and who would otherwise require electric toothbrushes. The concept was first propounded by Dr. Yoshinori Nakagaina, according to this report. The first model was later developed by Dr. Kunio Komiyama. A modern model like the Soladey-J3X uses photosensitive TiO₂ rods which when exposed to sunlight can convert the light into negative ions and remove plaque from your teeth by mixing with your saliva.
• Solar-powered Autoclave: Autoclave is a device that is used to sterilize and disinfect dental surgical instruments. A solar-powered autoclave can turn water into steam without even waiting for the entire container to boil. The device absorbs nano-particles from sunrays and transmits them to a bowl of water. An autoclave can utilize over 80% of the absorbed energy from the sun to produce steam. A solar concentrator lens can deliver the absorbed energy at an even faster rate so that the temperature of the watery solution increases rapidly. The nano-absorbants carry the produced steam to the surface of the container using buoyant force and again descend to repeat the process numerous times. A temperature of 115-135º C is produced within 5 minutes. The temperature is enough to kill microorganisms and germs.
• Plaster of Paris produced using solar power: Plaster of Paris is a highly useful element in a dentist’s kit. It can be used for filling dental cavities and for root canal treatments. Plaster of Paris produced using solar power is whiter and sets faster than those produced using heat from conventional, nonrenewable energy resources like charcoal, wood or diesel.

Other areas of innovation include powering entire clinics including their cooling units using solar power. A hybrid air conditioning unit comes with a solar rooftop and can utilize solar power to produce energy that can power the heating or cooling process of the device. One can hope that that as prices fall, more advanced technologies become available and governments around the world provide more incentives, the oral healthcare sector can metamorphose from one dependent almost completely on non-renewable energy to one which is sustainable and green.

Your office space is more than just a place to work—it’s a key driver of productivity, creativity, and employee satisfaction. A well-designed office can foster collaboration, reduce distractions, and even boost morale, while a poorly planned one can hinder performance and increase stress. Ready to transform your workspace into a hub of efficiency and innovation? Learn how! 

We are Oceanview Building Group – an integrated interior design and healthcare construction firm – where creativity meets functionality and innovation meets excellence. We are passionate about building spaces. We specialize in designing healthcare facilities that inspire, impress, and elevate the human experience. We would love to chat with you and hear your vision. 

Following the pandemic, many companies are now embracing innovative office design elements to enhance the allure and value of in-office work. This shift underscores the vital importance of creating an engaging, collaborative environment that stimulates productivity and fosters a sense of community among employees.

As the CEO of a company that creates communal workspaces, I’ve seen firsthand how spatial design, technology integration and community-centric amenities can cater to the functional and experiential needs of the people in the spaces. Here’s how to optimize your space to promote communication, teamwork and innovation:

Design Principles For Productivity

The modern work landscape has witnessed the rise of coworking spaces, and individual companies can learn something from these spaces, which are designed for flexibility and meet the varied needs of freelancers, entrepreneurs and businesses. A strategic spatial layout incorporates a blend of open workspaces, private offices, suites and collaborative areas to support different work styles and activities. Ergonomic furniture, adjustable lighting and sound management are also key to enhancing comfort and focus. While aesthetics are important, I recommend prioritizing functionality, especially when it comes to seating, since you’ll need the furniture to support prolonged use.

Employing biophilic design principles—the integration of natural light, greenery and outdoor spaces—can also help boost well-being and productivity. Studies, including one by Gather, have shown that such exposure significantly reduces stress and improves cognitive function, positively affecting work output. Choices around color schemes can also be made to stimulate creativity and energy levels, with soft, neutral tones providing a calm atmosphere and vibrant colors enhancing mental activity and space vitality.

In our workspace, I strategically utilize lighting to amplify the influence of color, thereby enhancing both the atmosphere and functionality of the area. For example, we’ve installed blue lighting to foster alertness and enhance focus on tasks requiring attention. This particular shade of light is chosen for its ability to boost performance and concentration but also encourages open interaction and stimulating conversations among people in the space.

Technology Integration

Acknowledging technology’s pivotal role in contemporary work, robust internet and Wi-Fi networks ensure seamless productivity. A commitment to ISP (internet service provider) redundancy and on-site IT support showcases a company’s dedication to meeting employee’s technical needs with efficiency and reliability. It can feel like service disruptions from providers occur almost every week, so diversifying your reliance on multiple providers can be a strategic move to maintain consistent connectivity.

The adoption of cutting-edge digital tools, especially ones with AI integration, can also help facilitate seamless operations when it comes to room bookings and space access. Having a physical manifestation of the backend technology, such as an iPad, outside the room is really helpful, too. I just started to use a wireless Bluetooth speakerphone with a 360-degree microphone so any call can be turned into a multi-person meeting. Streamlining these technologies allows employees to concentrate on their work with fewer distractions and more efficiency.

Community And Amenities

Spaces designed for networking and collaboration can help foster community, allowing your team to exchange ideas and create opportunities. Regular events and workshops support this dynamic, facilitating learning and partnerships. These types of events can be geared toward both professional and personal interests.

I recently participated in a lunch and learn session about screen time and its impact on children. This experience offered me the valuable opportunity to engage with colleagues on a topic of mutual interest and relevance. It underscored the importance of making the most of our workday beyond just the solitary tasks. Engaging in such enriching discussions not only broadens our perspectives but also enhances our work-life balance by integrating learning and networking into our daily routine. A focus on wellness amenities, such as fitness facilities and leisure zones, also emphasizes the importance of balance for sustained productivity and mental health.

In conclusion, this holistic perspective on office design can not only enhance individual work efficiency but also help you build a vibrant, interconnected community, leveraging the best aspects of coworking spaces to create a dynamic and engaging workplace for your employees.

We design spaces that facilitate seamless workflows, ensuring that every aspect of the clinic operates efficiently. This can lead to increased patient volume and, ultimately, higher revenue.

4. Reflecting Brand Identity

The interior design of your clinic is an extension of your brand. Consistent branding throughout the space, from the logo at the entrance to the color scheme and decor, reinforces your clinic’s identity. At Oceanview Build, we work closely with our clients to ensure that the design aligns with their brand values and mission. A cohesive and professional environment can attract your target demographic and set your clinic apart in a competitive market.

5. Building Trust and Confidence

Patients choose healthcare clinics based on trust and confidence in the practitioners. A well-designed clinic that reflects attention to detail and professionalism can significantly enhance patient trust. Our designs aim to convey the precision and care that patients expect from their procedures.

The interior design of your entity is about creating an environment that enhances patient experiences, improves workflow efficiency, and reflects your brand identity. For more information on how we can transform your clinic, visit our Instagram or give us a call at 954.980.5308.

Remodeling and renovating commercial spaces is a complex process that requires careful planning and attention to detail to ensure functionality, aesthetics, and long-term value. One critical aspect often overlooked is flooring — it needs to balance durability, safety, and design to meet the demands of high-traffic areas. Whether transforming a dental clinic, retail store, or office space, each project presents unique challenges. Partnering with a leading design and construction company like Oceanview Building Group ensures these complexities are expertly managed, delivering tailored solutions that bring your vision to life while maximizing the potential of your space. This helpful insight delves deeper into considerations for commercial flooring.

The right flooring in a commercial space is incredibly important to set the right tone and withstand the demands of heavy traffic.

Whether you are updating a busy office setting, refreshing a healthcare facility, or upgrading a retail space, you want to find flooring that will create the perfect aesthetic and remain beautiful for a long time. Functionality, durability, and style are all equally important in most commercial spaces. Floors in a business endure constant hustle, foot traffic, and frequently, heavy equipment.

You want flooring that will last and require minimal upkeep.

At The Floor Store, we carry a variety of commercial flooring options that can handle any space, from multi-use dwellings and common areas to offices, healthcare and senior living facilities, and retail spaces.

Commercial Flooring Considerations

When you begin looking for commercial flooring, there are a few things to consider:

• What is the purpose and function of each room?
• What tone do I want to convey?
• Is this space regularly subjected to harsh chemicals to disinfect and sterilize in addition to routine cleaning?
• How much traffic does this room receive? Do the floors need to be able to withstand heavy machinery or equipment?

What Types of Flooring Can Be Used in Commercial Spaces?

There are a variety of flooring options perfect for commercial spaces. Each flooring option — such as commercial-grade carpet and carpet tiles, luxury vinyl tiles or sheet vinyl, vinyl composite tile, porcelain tile, and even engineered hardwood and commercial-grade laminate flooring — provides a variety of styles and performance levels. However, it’s important to note that not every type will meet the demands of every space.

Finding the right balance between performance and visual appeal hinges on selecting the flooring type that suits the specific requirements and character of your commercial space:

• Commercial-grade carpet and carpet tiles work best in bustling office spaces, providing comfort and sound absorption while withstanding the rigors of daily foot traffic.
• Commercial vinyl options, like luxury vinyl tiles or sheet vinyl, are an ideal choice for environments where there is a demand for durability and easy upkeep, such as healthcare facilities.
• Vinyl composite tile (VCT) excels in high-traffic commercial settings and is a cost-effective and resilient solution for spaces like retail stores and schools.
• Porcelain tile is an incredibly versatile and resilient choice, making it perfect for both upscale retail environments and high-traffic offices or lobbies.
• Engineered hardwood flooring adds a touch of timeless elegance and durability, making it a great option for retail spaces, such as boutiques, and professional office spaces.
• Commercial-grade laminate flooring provides a budget-friendly yet visually appealing option, making it well-suited for creating a polished look in retail spaces or communal areas.
• Waterproof flooring options — such as luxury vinyl tile, sheet vinyl, and porcelain tile — are particularly suitable for commercial spaces, such as healthcare facilities, restaurants, cafeterias, restrooms, entryways, and areas prone to spills or moisture.

What is the Most Durable Flooring for High-Traffic Areas?

Dealing with heavy traffic in commercial spaces has its own set of challenges. So, it’s important to find the flooring that will meet your performance needs and maintain its appearance. For exceptionally high-traffic areas, options like vinyl composite tile (VCT), porcelain tiles, and commercial-grade carpet tiles are well-suited due to their strength, durability, and ability to withstand constant traffic without compromising on appearance or performance.

How Do I Choose the Best Commercial Flooring for My Space?

Each space has different needs and should create its own look and feel. No matter your needs, there are several options that will create the environment that’s right for you, your employees, and your customers or clients.

What is the Best Flooring for an Office Space?

The ideal flooring for office spaces will blend functionality with professionalism. From commercial grade carpet or carpet tiles that add comfort to luxury vinyl tiles for a sleek and modern look or even engineered hardwood for a timeless classic style, there is a flooring option perfect for any space. The one you choose will balance the atmosphere you want to create with the performance level you need.

What is the Best Flooring for Healthcare and Senior Living Facilities?

The right flooring for healthcare and senior living facilities combines hygiene, comfort, and durability. Consider choices like vinyl composite tile (VCT) for resilience in high-traffic areas, or luxury vinyl tiles for an easy-to-clean yet visually appealing surface. Additionally, waterproof options like porcelain tiles or sheet vinyl ensure long-lasting performance while maintaining a serene and welcoming environment.

What is the Best Flooring for a Retail Space?

The ideal flooring for retail spaces will balance style and robust durability. Options like luxury vinyl tiles offer a sleek and modern appeal, while commercial-grade carpet tiles provide comfort. For a touch of sophistication, consider engineered hardwood, or opt for porcelain tiles to withstand heavy foot traffic while maintaining an inviting space. Ultimately, the best choice will enhance both aesthetics and performance.

Do you need a dental office remodel?

Typically, businesses should get a facelift every 10 years. If you’re not updating the outside of the office, will potential new patients decide your dentistry is out-of-date, as well?

If the waiting room is old-fashioned and run down, will patients assume the dentist is old and tired too?

Perception is reality.

When a remodel is needed, areas to consider updating are the following:

• Exterior
• Interior
• Furnishings

Start the process by deciding who’ll do the work.

Perhaps your most important and difficult decision at the beginning of the project is hiring an architect, a general contractor, or doing the project yourself.

Keep reading to learn tips on making your dental practice stronger through updating your office.

Architects

An architect creates a design, and a contractor usually carries out the architect’s vision.

An architect may charge by the hour or per square foot.

Architects charge around $2 to $2.50 a square foot in the mid-west, or $125 to $250 an hour.

This option is the most expensive route. Still, architects do offer additional services in-house for interior design if needed.

General contractor

If your project is smaller, a contractor with previous experience remodeling dental offices can help with the design instead of an architect.

Contractors charge a fee for the whole project, which will vary widely depending on the scope of your project.

Some contractors will do a job on a cost-plus 10% basis, which means the contractor’s fee is 10% above the project’s actual cost.

Should I do the project myself?

If you plan to do the work, be careful not to over-commit yourself.

If the project requires much more than a fresh coat of paint, it’s best to leave the project in someone else’s hands.

Dentists have a practice to run, and injury on the construction site can cost far more than the money saved by doing it yourself.

How to decide who to hire

When selecting an architect or general contractor for your project, ask around for recommendations.

Online research is an unbelievably valuable tool, and Google reviews are the best way to sift through your options.

Doing your due diligence before starting the project will help decrease the likelihood of disappointment.

After the architect or contractor has been selected, they’ll need direction regarding your dental office remodel expectations.

An excellent way to convey your ideas is by searching the internet or perusing books looking for rooms or designs to duplicate.

Thankfully, designers and creative people post photographs of their projects online. Two excellent online resources for remodeling are Houzz… This text opens a new tab to the Houzz website… and Pinterest… This text opens a new tab to the Pinterest website…; type in “dental office remodel” on their websites and prepare to be amazed.

Searching and saving projects on these two sites are a great way to communicate your wishes to your architect or contractor.

Remodeling your exterior

Updating the exterior is as important as the interior when planning a remodel.

People who drive by a practice daily form opinions about the doctor just by the exterior condition.

The exterior design is part of an architect’s fee. Suppose a contractor is chosen to do the remodel. In that case, they may have sub-contractors that can be hired to help with the exterior and interior design.

Brick & Batten… This text opens a new tab to the Brick and Batten website… is a design company online that does a beautiful job designing an exterior. Their website is straightforward to navigate.

Upload a photo of your building, answer a few questions about the location of the business, and for a very reasonable price, they’ll send back a design that transforms the exterior.

Their fee includes a list of sources for all items used to update the building, even down to the paint brand and colors.

Their site shows many before and after photos of their projects, so you can get a feel for their designs before committing.

Upgrading your interior

The remodel of the practice’s interior can be daunting if the project is a complete overhaul.

Several meetings with the architect or contractor will need to occur until a design is finalized. Any additional changes may be costly.

During the layout process, there are a few things to consider, including:

• Is additional space needed for more operatories, a larger lab, or a handicap bathroom?
• What will patient flow be like if walls are moved?
• Can we create a separate entrance and exit for private patient check-outs?

It’s also good to provide a separate exit for patients, so they don’t have to go back through the waiting area after a difficult procedure.

Having a consultation room for treatment discussion in privacy is especially important.

If space allows, a bathroom available to the waiting room and an additional one on the clinic floor is optimal.

Perhaps the most significant update for the doctor is in the operatory.

This wish list should be detailed and discussed with the architect or the contractor. Building cabinetry for the operatories is much less expensive than purchasing the units from one of the big dental companies.

Existing cabinetry can be used as a template for your contractor. Additional money can be saved on side cabinetry in the operatories by using a cart system.

Home Depot… This text opens a new tab to the Home Depot website… sells carts for under $200. These are very affordable and work great. A small sink can be installed in the hall between two operatories and shared.

Money can be saved on overhead lighting if lights on loops are used. If wall-mounted x-ray units need to be replaced, consider purchasing a handheld unit to share.

These are just a few ways small changes can save you a lot of money.

New furnishings

Toward the end of your remodel is the time to shop for furnishings.

Check your local Costco or Sam’s Club frequently for furniture inventory. Ashley Furniture also carries less expensive options. You don’t have to spend a lot to get a nice, updated look.

Remember:

It’s important to update furniture every five to seven years. Keeping paint colors neutral will allow more decorating options when you upgrade your furnishings in the future.

Another thing to consider is to ask your staff for their input.

Their ideas may bring to light things in the design that can easily be included, which can encourage them to get on board with your vision.

If working on-site during the remodel is your choice to save money, inclusion and communication with staff are necessary.

Monthly staff meetings are essential to keep everyone up to date on the progress and aware of upcoming challenges that need to be considered.

When complete, the staff will be excited to work in their new surroundings. An outing or a bonus is an excellent way to thank your employees for their contributions and patience.

Lastly, take advantage of your hard work and update your advertising after the remodel is finished.

Promote your new office on your Facebook page. Don’t forget to update any old photos or information on Google. This is the best time to update or completely redesign your website.

Celebrate your new office, and be prepared to increase your new patient numbers!
