Three ways to work with us.
Most clients hand over the whole build. Some need one piece checked before they commit. And some want the business side of opening running alongside the construction.
Which one are you?
Full Representation
One person accountable for the budget, the schedule and the contractors, from site feasibility through opening day. All ten workstreams.
Standalone Services
A budget review, a conceptual design, or a lease construction review. Scoped and delivered on its own, and credited back if you upgrade.
Construction and Coaching
Full Representation running on the same timeline as Leadwell Academy, so the business is ready the day the doors open.
The whole build, one accountable person.
Ten workstreams, grouped by when they happen. We are in every Owner-Architect-Contractor meeting, every bid leveling session and every pay application review, and we are the single point of accountability for the budget and the schedule.
01Before you sign

Full Representation is a fixed fee, set by square footage, operatory count and delivery condition, and quoted in full before any work begins.
How it is paid
The fee does not move because your budget moved. Twenty percent at engagement, the rest on monthly milestones, with ten percent held until closeout. As projects get larger the effective rate falls, so every dollar we cut out of your budget stays yours.
Why not a percentage
Percentage-of-construction fees pay the representative more when the project costs you more. We will not hold that position while also telling you to fight a change order.
Start with one piece.
Most engagements start here. Each service stands on its own, and every dollar you spend on one comes back if you go further.
Budget Snapshot
A working call to pressure test what you think the project costs against a realistic range for a practice your size. Bring a listing, a lease draft or a sketch. No written deliverable, no obligation, and it is how most engagements start.
Budget and Feasibility Review
Everything you need to decide on a space before you commit: a written project budget with the assumptions shown, a site walk and buildability review, a trade area snapshot, and a one-page list of the risks we see.
Conceptual Design
Space planning, a 3D model, floor plan and photoreal renders, with two revision rounds included. Enough to show a lender, a landlord or a partner what you are actually building.
Lease Construction Review
The construction side of your lease, before you sign: whether the TI allowance covers a dental buildout, what the delivery condition leaves you paying for, and whether the rent start date leaves time to build. Your broker negotiates. We show them where the construction risk is.
Every dollar you spend on a standalone service credits toward Full Representation.
Upgrade within sixty days and the full fee you paid for a Budget and Feasibility Review, Conceptual Design or Lease Construction Review comes off your engagement fee. Testing us on one piece of the project costs you nothing if you decide to hand over the whole thing.
A finished practice is not the same as a working business.
You can open on time and on budget and still spend your first year fixing things that had nothing to do with construction. Hiring. Systems. Case acceptance. The first ninety days of production.
That is the half we do not do, and rather than hand you a list of consultants, we work with one partner.
Leadwell Academy
Practice business coaching led by someone who has owned a practice and been through a buildout. That is why the two halves of this fit together instead of running in parallel and colliding at the end.
One timeline, not two
Hiring is scheduled against the certificate of occupancy date, not started after it. Systems and training are in place before the first patient, not improvised in week three. Equipment training and staff onboarding are sequenced together.
Shared milestones
The same schedule drives both tracks. When construction moves, coaching moves with it, so you are never paying a team to wait or opening with a room full of people who have never used the software.
One partner, not a directory
We do not maintain a list of coaches and hand you a name. There is one relationship, it is a working one, and we talk to each other about your project.
Honest about the structure
Separate engagement, separate terms, and no referral fee moves between us. Bring your own coach or none at all and the construction work is identical.
What we do not do.
Knowing where a consultant stops is as useful as knowing where they start.
Flagship Practice LLC is not a licensed general contractor and does not perform or contract for construction work. Your GC holds the construction contract. We hold them to it.
We are not a licensed real estate broker. We analyze sites and review the construction side of your lease. Your broker negotiates the lease and represents you in the transaction, and your attorney reviews the documents.
We flag issues that will cost you during construction and route them to the right professional. We do not replace your attorney, your accountant or your lender.
No commissions, no referral fees, no rebates from contractors, suppliers or equipment representatives. Our fee comes from you, which is the only way the advice stays yours.
Not sure which one you need?
That is what the budget snapshot is for. Thirty minutes, no cost, and we will tell you which of these actually fits your project, including if the answer is none of them yet.
