About this listen

Renovations can fall apart long before construction begins — and in this case study, a 3,500 sq. ft. dental expansion in Arizona shows exactly how. What looked like a “full” drawing set turned out to be missing critical engineering details, complete specifications, clear phasing, and even basic contract protections. The result? Four wildly different bids, unclear scope, and a project headed toward major cost overruns.
In this episode, Art and Hailee break down how vague drawings, incomplete contracts, and early contractor involvement can derail a renovation before it ever starts — and what every doctor should verify before signing anything.

Topics include:
• Why incomplete drawings lead to inconsistent bids and surprise costs
• How missing MEPs, open specs, and vague details create disputes
• The risk of starting a phased project without a defined shutdown plan
• What every dental contract must include (timelines, penalties, warranties, lien waivers, etc.)
• Why spending more on design and planning can save hundreds of thousands later
