I've been thinking about this
post for a while and now seems as good a time as
any to write it. A little over 2 years ago I
moved into a new office. It had been in the
design process in my head and on scraps of paper
for about 2-3 years. I found an excellent local
architect who took my paltry ideas as well as my
detailed geeky protocol for technology and
created my dream environment. He was well versed
in dental design and did an amazing job. He knew
my friends at Goetze Dental and worked closely
with them to make sure that everything dental
would fit exactly as planned... and it did.
The second part of it was finding the right
contractor to build the dream. We interviewed
several builders that the architect recommended.
Some were less expensive on their bids than
others, but we were more interested in success
and low stress than we were on the lowest bid.
We ended up settling on a company that was
not the lowest bidder, but instead was the most
organized and projected an over all culture of
hard work and honesty.
Our project was
completed one month early, on budget, and
literally everything went exactly according to
plan.
The reason for this post? I had a
conversation recently with a local dentist who
was lamenting to me that he was building a new
office and that many things were going wrong with
the project. It was way past the completion date
and was still in need of much work. It was also a
budgetary nightmare and potentially a financial
problem. I asked him if he had interviewed the
contractor I had used and he told me he had, but
that their bid was higher than the contractor he
was using.
Sometimes we can be penny wise
and pound foolish. When approaching a project of
this magnitude I highly encourage you to consider
lots of variables. Saving money can frequently
result in actually losing money when poor
decisions are made.
Thanks also to Goetze
Dental, architect Guy Gronberg, and House &
Renner Construction. I couldn't have done it
without you!
