Dental & Medical Interior Design & Renovation

Crafting Healthy Spaces, Transforming Care Experience

Renovating a dental or medical clinic in Singapore requires careful planning and adherence to strict regulations. At REC Design Studio, we strive to be your TRUSTED provider but ensuring the following detailed workflow and procedure is carried out when we embark on such projects:

Initial Consultation: Meet with the clinic owner to understand their requirements, budget, and timeline for the renovation. Discuss specific needs such as specialized equipment, patient comfort, and regulatory compliance.

Site Inspection: Visit the clinic to assess the existing layout, infrastructure, and any structural or functional issues that need to be addressed during the renovation.

Design Proposal: Develop a comprehensive design proposal that includes floor plans, 3D renderings, material selections, and cost estimates. Ensure that the design meets regulatory standards for healthcare facilities.

Permits and Approvals: Obtain necessary permits and approvals from relevant authorities such as the Ministry of Health (MOH), Building and Construction Authority (BCA), and Singapore Dental Council (SDC).

Contract Signing: Once the design is approved, sign a contract outlining the scope of work, timeline, payment schedule, and responsibilities of both parties.

Demolition and Site Preparation: Begin by clearing out the existing fixtures, fittings, and furnishings. Prepare the site for construction work while adhering to infection control protocols to prevent the spread of contaminants.

Structural Work: Carry out any necessary structural modifications or reinforcements according to the approved design and engineering requirements.

Electrical and Plumbing: Install or upgrade electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, and plumbing systems to support the clinic's operations and ensure patient safety.

Medical Gas Installation (if applicable): If the clinic requires medical gases such as oxygen or nitrous oxide, install the necessary piping and equipment in compliance with MOH regulations.

Carpentry and Millwork: Construct custom cabinetry, countertops, and storage solutions tailored to the clinic's needs while prioritizing infection control and durability.

Flooring and Wall Finishes: Install hygienic flooring materials such as vinyl, linoleum, or ceramic tiles, and apply wall finishes that are easy to clean and disinfect.

HVAC Installation: Install heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems designed to maintain optimal indoor air quality and temperature control within the clinic.

Medical Equipment Installation: Coordinate with suppliers to install specialized medical equipment such as dental chairs, X-ray machines, sterilization units, and patient monitoring systems.

Final Touches: Complete any remaining tasks such as painting, signage installation, and furniture placement to create a welcoming and professional environment for patients and staff.

Cleaning and Sterilization: Thoroughly clean and disinfect the entire clinic to ensure a safe and hygienic environment for patients before reopening for business.

Handover and Training: Hand over the renovated clinic to the owner, provide training on operating new equipment and systems, and address any final concerns or touch-ups.

Post-Renovation Support: Offer ongoing maintenance and support services to ensure the clinic remains in optimal condition and complies with regulatory requirements over time.

Throughout the renovation process, we are committed to maintain open communication with the clinic owner, healthcare professionals, subcontractors, and regulatory agencies to ensure compliance with all relevant standards and regulations.
