Will your new office actually pencil out?

Your numbers stay in your browser — nothing is saved or shared until you ask for your report. Use the tabs to move between Inputs, the Feasibility Dashboard, Cost Breakdown, Sensitivity, and saved Scenarios.

What you’ll walk away knowing

• ✔  Total project cost — construction, site work, soft costs, equipment, contingency and land, itemized.
• ✔  Financing required — down payment, construction loan, equipment loan, and the total you’ll need to raise.
• ✔  The monthly increase — your new payment stack versus what you pay today, and what that is as a percent of your production.
• ✔  A straight GO / NEEDS-REVIEW verdict against three lender-style feasibility benchmarks.
• ✔  ROI & payback — net monthly gain, payback on your cash in, and cash-on-cash return based on the capacity you’re adding.
• ✔  Cost per operatory and per square foot — the numbers you’ll want when you compare bids.
• ✔  Sensitivity — watch how a rate hike or a bigger down payment moves the whole deal.
• ✔  Save & compare scenarios side by side — conservative plan versus stretch plan, two locations, five ops versus eight.

Three steps, about five minutes

1. Describe the project. Operatories, square footage, construction level, your current production and overhead. Every field has sensible defaults, so you can move fast and refine later.

2. Read the verdict. The dashboard tells you if the project clears the feasibility benchmarks — and if it doesn’t, exactly which number is the problem.

3. Get your report. Ask for the full write-up and we’ll email it, so you’ve got something to take to your partner, your CPA, or your lender.

Built from 25 years inside the operatory

I’ve spent a quarter century on the manufacturing side of dentistry — the chairs, units, lights and cabinets that go into these rooms. I’ve watched too many good clinicians get surprised by a build that looked fine on a napkin and fell apart at the bank. This tool is the napkin math, done right. Individual dentists use it to sanity-check a single build; DSO development teams run it across a whole pipeline to compare sites on the same yardstick.

Questions dentists ask

Where do the cost numbers come from?
National-average construction tiers, standard soft-cost percentages, and real amortization math. They’re planning estimates — a build is considered on budget within about 10% of projection.

Is my data saved anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your scenario only reaches us if you ask for the emailed report.

Can I compare two plans?
Yes — save as many scenarios as you like and compare any two side by side on the Scenarios tab.

Does this replace my accountant or lender?
Not a chance. It gets you to the conversation prepared, with the right questions and a defensible number.

This tool provides planning estimates based on national averages and does not guarantee accuracy. Actual construction costs are considered on budget if within 10% of projections. Figures do not account for tax advantages. It is not financial, legal, or accounting advice — consult your own advisors before making decisions.
