Wondering how to get started on something so complex? A dental or medical office design project represents thousands of individual decisions.

The place to start is at the beginning. And if you are just beginning to think about or plan your project, the resources on this page will give you valuable information you need to get off on the right foot.

But don’t worry if you’ve already selected your space, have a loan in place, or even if you have a floor plan from another designer or equipment company that is just not working.

On a 30 minute Process and Feasibility Call I’m happy to review and lend my expertise to look at where you are. Together we can determine if you should take a few steps back, simply make a few adjustments, or move on full steam ahead. Click over to the Resources tab to apply.

If you don’t know where you are going, the only way you will get there is by accident.
