Dental Practice Consultancy & Planning Services

Not by law, but the premises have to satisfy several sets of rules at once: HTM 01-05 for decontamination, IRR17 for X-ray rooms, the Building Regulations, Legionella control and what CQC checks at registration in England. A consultant who designs dental practices sees how these affect each other and catches problems on the drawings, where changes cost least.

Allow several months in total. The brief and survey take a few weeks and the design four to six weeks. Then come any planning consent (check the building's lawful use with the local planning authority early; in England, many moves into former shops or offices need none) and Building Regulations approval, followed by the build and equipment installation. Start your CQC registration early so it runs alongside the work rather than delaying opening.

In the UK we work with locally registered partner professionals who sign the legally required documents under our brand. If you already have an agent, architect or engineer you want to use, we can work with them instead, although most of our clients outside Albania prefer to use our partners. Your local authority building control or a registered building control approver then checks the work.

Yes. Briefs, design reviews and most coordination run by video call and shared drawings, starting from a measured survey and photos of the premises. Site visits are scheduled with you at the stages where they matter. Documents that must be signed locally are handled by our UK partner professionals, so you deal with one team.

A first conversation about your premises, how many surgeries you need, your timeline and budget, and which regulations apply. Send drawings or photos beforehand if you have them. We reply within 4 hours, and after the call you receive a written proposal setting out the scope and fee for the design work.
