Thinking about a dental practice startup or remodeling your existing office? This special "Dental Shark Week" episode of Dental Unscripted is your ultimate guide to dental practice construction!  Join Mike Dinsio as he interviews Chad Hill from Hill Commercial Construction, a leading dental contractor in the Colorado market, who shares invaluable insights from his extensive experience in building dental offices. Choosing the Right Space: Discover what critical factors a general contractor looks for during the due diligence process for both rented spaces and ground-up builds. Learn about evaluating infrastructure like electrical, sewer, and HVAC, and understanding potential issues like asbestos or soil conditions. From Plans to Permit: Understand the journey from initial floor plan concepts (often provided by equipment reps!) to securing city permits. Chad emphasizes the importance of a budget-minded architect who truly understands your vision, balancing desired aesthetics with practical costs. Navigating Hard Bids & Unexpected Costs: Get insights into the challenges of the hard bid process when design isn't aligned with budget, and how experienced contractors manage unforeseen issues like material delays or tariffs. The Power of Partnership: Learn why choosing a contractor who acts as a partner, offering transparent communication and problem-solving, is crucial for a smooth and successful project. Chad emphasizes that projects aren't slowing down, and for those considering getting into business or making a move, there's no better time than now! Guest: Chad Hill, Hill Commercial ConstructionConnect with Chad: [email protected] https://hillcommercial.com/303.994.4849 Like this episode?Hit SUBSCRIBE, leave us a comment, and let us know what other "Dental Shark Week" topics you want us to tackle!Michael Dinsio is a Dental Startup Consultant and can partner with you through the entire startup process.
