Someone on your side of the table.
Flagship Practice is an owner's representative for dentists building new practices. We manage the budget, the design and the contractors from site selection through opening day, so you can keep producing.
Everyone at the table has an incentive. None of them are yours.
- The general contractor
- Profits when scope grows. Every change order is revenue on a job they have already won.
- The landlord
- Wrote the lease and set the tenant improvement allowance. Their delivery condition decides how much of the build you pay for.
- The equipment rep
- Is paid on what you buy, not on whether it fits the space, the power plan or the schedule.
- The lender
- Wants the loan to close. Protecting your contingency after closing is not their job.
You are the least experienced person in the room, and the only one signing every check.
An owner's rep is the one person on the job who only works for you.
No vendor commissions. No general contractor affiliation. No landlord relationships to protect. We sit in your seat at every Owner-Architect-Contractor meeting, review every pay application before it gets paid, and defend the budget you set at the start.
Ten workstreams, one accountable person.
Site and demographic strategy
Trade area analysis, site evaluation, test fits.
Lease and TI coordination
Models allowance and delivery condition against budget. Flags issues for your broker and attorney.

Full project pro forma: hard costs, soft costs, FF&E, contingency.
Design and 3D visualization
Space planning, finish direction, photoreal renders of your practice.
Team procurement
Architect, engineer and GC bidding, leveling and contract administration.
Permitting and approvals
City, health department and radiation shielding compliance.
Construction oversight
OAC meetings, pay application review, change order defense, quality walks.
Equipment and technology
Chairs, imaging, sterilization, IT and low voltage coordination.
Vendor and FF&E logistics
Procurement schedule, delivery sequencing, install supervision.
Closeout and opening
Punch list, certificate of occupancy, warranties, owner training, day one readiness.
What a dental buildout really costs.
Dental tenant improvement is among the most expensive TI categories in commercial real estate.
Construction alone, before equipment. Ground-up and larger projects run $700K to $1.1M.
Equipment coordination usually drives the critical path, not framing or finishes.
Typical project. Phases overlap by design, because schedule compression is the product.
Five phases from vision to opening day.
Phases overlap deliberately. Design starts before the program is fully closed, bidding starts before permit comment is back, and equipment ordering starts long before anyone thinks it needs to. That overlap is where the months come from.
Built for the first-time practice owner.
You are buying or leasing space for a startup practice, relocating an existing one, or expanding into a second location. You have a lender, an accountant and probably a broker. What you do not have is anyone whose only job is making sure the build comes in on budget and opens on time.
If you have already built three practices and have a contractor you trust, you probably do not need us.
Four things that are true on day one.
PMP certified
Formal project management certification layered on twelve years of applied schedule, cost and risk management.
Deadline DNA
A decade running event and fabrication builds, where the open date never moves. Backward scheduling and vendor orchestration are exactly what a practice opening demands.
See it before you build it
In-house 3D rendering and space planning. You approve a room you have already walked through digitally, and your lender sees a fundable vision rather than a line item.
Fixed fees, never a percentage
Our fee is set by scope at engagement and never grows because your budget did. Percentage-fee representatives earn more when your project costs more. That is a conflict of interest, not a fee model.
Start with the numbers.
Book a free budget snapshot. Bring whatever you have, a listing, a lease draft or a napkin sketch, and we will walk through a realistic cost range for a practice your size and how long it takes to open.
No obligation. No deliverable. No pitch.
