Whatever your plans for your practice, an essential start point has to be the feasibility study. It will save you time and help you avoid the kind of mistakes that can cripple a practice.

You may be undecided on the right way forward. Whether to re-plan, extend or even move. At Paradigm we have the skill, experience and ability to guide you and ensure you make the right decision. Our approach is to ask the dentist to communicate his or her objectives, define the problems and then leave us to suggest the best solution both in structure and economics.

In many cases moving premises is not a consideration or a necessity. In other circumstances it may be difficult to assess the pros and cons. The first thing a feasibility study will do is point you in the right direction.

If the decision is ultimately to stay in your existing premises, we will advise you on the best way to run your practice while the work is carried out. If the feasibility study clearly indicates the need for a move we will work with you stage by stage. Firstly we will help you assess the suitability of premises according to age, construction, location, services and costs. We will then explain how your requirements and preferences can be achieved, whilst ensuring all regulations and legal requirements are met.

Our comprehensive approach will cover such issues as dimensions and structure of building, applications to Local Authorities, Building Regulation approval, Listed buildings and conservation, Regulations relating to conservation of fuel and power, Car Parking, disability access, change of use and information gathering.

"With Roger’s experience any conflicts with English Heritage were anticipated and appropriate solutions provided. A lot of thought was given to the patient experience as well as listening to my own quirky requirements and including them."
