Work backward from the desired opening date. Medical and dental projects often depend on multiple approvals and vendors.
Typical sequence
2. LOI / lease
Align delivery condition, TI, schedule responsibilities and legal terms with the intended project.
3. Design
Architectural, MEP and specialty planning around the actual practice workflow and equipment.
4. Permitting
Submit required plans and respond to review comments. Timelines vary by project and jurisdiction.
5. Construction
Coordinate landlord and tenant work, long-lead items, inspections and change management.
6. Equipment & occupancy
Install equipment/IT/furniture, complete inspections, licensing steps and operational move-in.
Protect the opening date
Do not assume lease signing equals immediate buildout. Ask the project team to identify critical-path approvals, long-lead equipment and dependencies before committing to a target opening date.
Next Best Step
If timing is critical, include the desired opening date in your search so we can screen for spaces with lower buildout exposure.
