What's inside
The full buildout process in plain English, plus the lessons dentists tell us they wish they'd known before they started.
Site selection before you sign
What to check in a space before you lease it, so you don't buy an expensive buildout by accident.
Design & equipment coordination
Operatory layout, Henry Schein / Patterson specs, imaging shielding, and the details people forget.
NJ permitting & code
How the Uniform Construction Code works, what slows permits down, and how to plan around it.
The construction sequence
The dental-specific systems (plumbing, medical gas, HVAC, electrical) that separate a dental build from a normal office.
Real budget ranges
Per-square-foot ranges, where the money actually goes, and how payment is typically structured by milestone.
Spencer's hard-won lessons
Design budgets, why a hard open date is a fool's errand, and the sub-contractor check that saves weeks.
