How long does a dental office buildout take?

A typical dental office buildout takes 8-16 weeks depending on the scope. Factors include permit approval (4-8 weeks for NYC DOB), size of the practice, complexity of specialty rooms, and equipment coordination.

What permits are required for dental construction in NYC?

Dental office construction in NYC typically requires NYC DOB Alteration Permit, FDNY approval for fire systems, DOH review for healthcare facilities, plumbing permits for dental-specific systems, and electrical permits for panel upgrades.

Do you handle equipment installation?

We handle all construction preparation including precise utility placement, blocking for wall-mounted equipment, floor prep for chair mounting, and coordination with equipment dealers. For existing equipment during renovations, we can disconnect, protect, and reinstall it ourselves.

What makes GCMM different from other contractors?

Three things set us apart: manufacturer training from A-dec, Midmark, Planmeca, and others through Benco Dental; the ability to handle equipment disconnect/reconnect during renovations; and single point of contact project management.

How much does dental office construction cost?

Costs vary based on scope: single operatory addition runs $15,000-$35,000, complete buildouts cost $150-$400 per square foot. Factors affecting cost include location (NYC vs suburbs), building conditions, specialty rooms, and equipment complexity.

What areas do you serve?

We serve New York City (all five boroughs), Westchester County, Long Island (Nassau and Suffolk counties), and Northern New Jersey (Bergen, Hudson, and Essex counties).

Can you work while my practice stays open?

Yes. We offer night and weekend work, phased construction, dust and noise control, and daily cleanup to keep your practice running during renovations.
