Will the layout actually fit?
The room needs enough space for equipment, operator movement, patient access, cabinetry, cleaning, storage and safe everyday use.
Can services reach the room?
Plumbing, drainage, electrical supply, ventilation and ceiling zones can all influence feasibility and cost.
How does the room affect the practice flow?
Consider waiting areas, staff routes, decontamination, storage and how patients move through the building.
What disruption will the conversion create?
Access, noise, dust, room isolation and working hours should be considered before dates are promised.
