SERVICE 05 · NEW OFFICE CONSTRUCTION

IT planned from blueprint to
opening day
, so it’s ready when
you are.

Opening a new practice or expanding to a second location? We create your complete IT floor plan from blueprint through opening day, including low-voltage cabling, network architecture, workstation placement, imaging integration, and server room planning. Our team installs and manages the low-voltage cabling to ensure everything is ready before your practice opens.

We handle the IT floor plan and low-voltage cabling while coordinating closely with your General Contractor (GC) and dental equipment vendor throughout the project.

FEATURES

IT designed for
a dental
practice, from
the first plan
review.

Most dental build mistakes in IT are made at the cabling stage, before anyone thinks to call an IT company. We get involved at blueprint phase so the infrastructure works for a digital dental practice, not a generic medical office.

✓
Blueprint-phase IT planning: workstation locations, op bay layout, server room placement, and cabling pathways reviewed before walls go up
✓
Low-voltage cabling specification: structured wiring for data, phone, and digital imaging, coordinated with the general contractor
✓
Network architecture design: firewall, switching, wireless, and VLAN segmentation for patient, staff, and imaging traffic
✓
Server room or server closet specification: power, cooling, physical security, and future-capacity planning
✓
Digital imaging integration: chairside monitor placement, sensor runs, panoramic/CBCT positioning, and intraoral camera drops
✓
Audio speaker installation throughout the office: paging, hold music, and treatment-area sound
✓
Multi-monitor and TV mounting: operatory monitors, front-desk displays, and reception/break-room TVs
✓
Security camera systems: placement, run, installation, and remote-viewing setup
✓
Practice management software staging: Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve installed and tested before opening
✓
Vendor coordination: we liaise with your dental equipment vendor, GC, and low-voltage contractor so you have one point of contact for IT decisions
✓
Ops-day-one walkthrough: full system verification before you open. Every workstation, every op, every imaging unit confirmed operational
Good Fit For

When new-office
planning fits

✓

Dentists opening a first practice or second location from a ground-up build or significant tenant improvement

✓

Practices replacing an aging facility where IT infrastructure wasn't designed for modern digital imaging

✓

DSOs opening a new location who need a coordinated IT deployment across multiple operatories

Probably Not A Fit For

When something
else fits better

•

Practices looking for IT advice after construction is already complete. Cabling paths and conduit runs are much harder to correct post-build

•

Single-workstation satellite offices with minimal imaging. This service is designed for multi-op digital practices

If you're mid-build already, call us anyway. We'll tell you honestly what's still correctable and what's a sunk cost.

How A Build Unfolds

Six phases from
blueprint to opening day.
Where IT fits in each.

Getting involved at the right phase is the difference between an IT infrastructure that works for your practice and one that’s been retrofit into a space that wasn’t designed for it.

▤
01

Blueprint review

Before permits are pulled

We review architectural plans and mark up workstation locations, network closet placement, server room dimensions, and cabling pathways. Changes at this stage cost nothing. Changes after drywall are expensive.

▤
02

Low-voltage specification

Before framing is closed

We produce a low-voltage cabling spec that your GC's electrical sub or dedicated low-voltage contractor installs. We're on-site to supervise runs that affect imaging equipment placement.

▤
03

Network & server procurement

6–8 weeks before occupancy

We size and order the firewall, switches, server hardware, and workstations so equipment arrives on time, not after opening day. Lead times on servers and managed switches have extended in recent years.

▤
04

Infrastructure installation

2–4 weeks before occupancy

Rack build-out, server configuration, switch and firewall installation.

▤
05

Software staging

1–2 weeks before occupancy

Practice management software installed, licensed, and tested. Imaging sensors calibrated. Digital X-ray acquisition tested from every op. Workstations imaged and named.

▤
06

Ops-day-one verification

Opening day (and the day before)

We're on-site before your first patient. Every system is verified live, not just tested in isolation. Staff walk through their workflows with IT present. Issues are resolved before they touch a patient.

Building A Practice?

Get IT planning on the
agenda before the walls
go up.

A 30-minute call at blueprint phase can prevent months of workarounds after you're open. We review your plans, flag the IT decisions that need to happen early, and give you a scope.
