Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can you actually finish a commercial dental clinic renovation?+

For a build-out the size of this Burnaby clinic (1 reception, 4 exam rooms, sterilization area, staff kitchenette, office), 1 week is the floor when the client has a hard opening date and we get the cabinetry order in early. A more typical timeline for a dental clinic of this size is 4–6 weeks. The 1-week version requires parallel trade scheduling, pre-built cabinetry, and daily checkpoint inspections — not every contractor will take it on.

What's the cost difference between a residential renovation and a commercial dental clinic renovation?+

Commercial dental renovations cost more per square foot than residential — typically 1.5–2x — because of plumbing for dental chairs and sterilization equipment, dedicated electrical for medical devices, code-compliant flooring transitions for infection control, and ADA accessibility requirements on the patient-side. The exact premium depends on how much existing rough-in we can reuse vs. demolish.

Do you handle the City of Burnaby permits for commercial renovations?+

Yes. For a tenant improvement of this scope we pull the building permit, electrical permit, and plumbing permit ourselves, and we coordinate the City inspections at each stage (electrical rough-in, plumbing rough-in, drywall, final). Dental-specific inspections (e.g. medical gas, X-ray shielding) are handled by separate trade contractors with their own permits — we coordinate the schedule but don't pull those permits.

Can a 1-week timeline work for a 取brand-new tenant fit-out (shell space)?+

Probably not. A shell-space fit-out usually requires HVAC distribution, ceiling grid, full plumbing rough-in from scratch, and electrical service upgrades — work that takes 3–4 weeks even with parallel scheduling. The Burnaby clinic was a renovation of an existing dental space, so we kept the main plumbing and HVAC layout and only modified what the new room layout demanded.
