Dental Practice Design & Engineering

Dental Practice Design and Engineering for UK Practices

Collaku Engineering Consulting plans, designs and equips dental practices. Founded in Tirana in 2020, we work with dental practices in the UK on new practices, full refurbishments and single-surgery upgrades: practice layout, M&E engineering, interior design, and the installation, repair and maintenance of dental equipment.

Because one team handles both the building and the equipment, suction, compressed air, water, power, ventilation and X-ray shielding are planned from the start around the dental chairs and imaging you will actually install, and checked against HTM 01-05, IRR17 and the premises points CQC inspects.

“I thought the consultation wouldn't be necessary. It turned out to be one of the best investments I made for my new clinic. I believe it is the first step to take when opening a dental clinic. I recommend the consultation, and especially Erion, who was very professional.”

IIrini S.Google review · Translated from Albanian

“Erion followed the architect's plan for the dental clinic precisely and gave valuable advice on placing the medical equipment as efficiently as possible. His focus was on making the medical staff's daily work easier and leaving room for future changes. The project went well from start to finish. The engineer was precise and transparent about prices, kept to the agreed schedule, and communication was clear throughout. I recommend him without hesitation for similar projects.”

Common Questions

How long does a dental practice fit-out take?

As a guide, allow several months from first consultation to opening: a few weeks for the brief and survey, four to six weeks for design, time for planning (if needed) and Building Regulations approval, then the build and equipment installation. CQC registration should run in parallel so it does not hold up opening.

Do you work with my existing equipment suppliers?

Yes. We work with your chosen suppliers so that power, water, air, suction, drainage and IT are in the right place for the equipment you are buying.

Can you help with UK regulations and approvals?

Yes. Compliance is part of every project: HTM 01-05 decontamination, X-ray under IRR17 and IR(ME)R, pressure systems, Legionella, accessibility and the premises evidence CQC looks for. We prepare drawings and documents for planning and Building Regulations; where a document must be signed by a UK-registered professional, our local partner professionals sign it under our brand, or we work with your own.
