Medical and dental renovations have no published starting price: each one is scoped and priced per project after a site walk, lump sum from a written scope before any deposit, and the ranges on this page are for budgeting. The price includes labor, materials listed in the written scope, permits and standard city inspections, project management, mobilization, protection of adjacent areas, cleanup and one-year workmanship warranty. Scope, the condition of the space and the schedule move the number more than square footage does.

Most clinic work we run is not a gut. It is two rooms this quarter and three the next, scheduled around a full book. These are the standards for that.
$4,500 per room
One room repainted, re-floored and made ready, with nothing moved.
$7,500 per room
A room converted to an exam or consult room without adding a sink.
$14,500 per room
A full exam room including the casework and the plumbing to it.
All i30 Builders full-project prices include normal mobilization, ordinary protection of adjacent areas, labor, standard materials listed in the scope, permits and standard city inspections, project coordination, normal cleanup, and a one-year workmanship warranty on the listed scope. Health-department and city inspection cycles, medical gas and dental compressed air, lead-lined assemblies, fire / life-safety modifications, and landlord-imposed fees are typically separate line items called out explicitly in the scope.

Cosmetic clinic refresh $30 to $55/SF. Basic clinic TI $95 to $130/SF. Standard clinic remodel $130 to $180/SF. Heavy medical and dental $180 to $250/SF. Dental suites usually sit in the upper bands, because operatory plumbing and equipment rough-ins add trade scope a general clinic layout does not carry. Design and engineering, landlord fees and FF&E are separate line items.
Yes. Exam-room refresh: $4,500 per room. Exam-room conversion: $7,500 per room. Exam room with cabinets and sink: $14,500 per room. Per-room pricing is how most of our clinic work actually gets scoped, because practices expand a few rooms at a time rather than gutting a floor.
Yes, and it is most of what we do in clinics. We phase the work after hours, clean up and reset every night, and hand the space back ready for the next business day. On a recent Mansfield medical office we rebuilt the front desk and check-in area entirely on that schedule, and the suite never closed a business day. Occupied work carries a multiplier because of the nightly protection, containment, and reset, and it is called out in the scope rather than buried in the rate.
Specialty MEP and inspection cycles. Medical needs medical-grade vinyl base, infection-control containment during an occupied build, sometimes med-gas or dental compressed air, and health-department approval rounds. A standard office build carries none of that, so pricing clinic work at office rates would understate the project significantly.
Yes, written scope, locked at signing. Change orders only happen if you request a scope change, and they are priced and approved in writing before work proceeds. Hidden conditions (failed MEP behind walls, mold, code corrections unrelated to your scope) are excluded by default and surfaced as change orders if discovered.
