Design Your Dental Office with Heidan

Looking to open up a new dental office? Maybe you’re a seasoned professional and this is a new branch to an already flourishing business! Heidan’s got you covered, no matter the case. We know dental offices can be a huge undertaking and that’s why you need experience to handle them properly. We assure you that Heidan Construction’s team of qualified builders and designers will get the job done right. Let’s take a look at the facts!

Experienced and Friendly

One of the most important things when hiring a construction company is hiring for experience and communication. We couldn’t have gotten where we are today without a portfolio of successful builds. And with each new success, we gain more insight and more understanding of what makes a truly fantastic build!

One of the things we’ve learned over nearly twenty years of work is that friendliness truly does matter. We couldn’t have succeeded without forming connections with our clients and listening to their needs. Ensuring that the end product of all of our combined efforts is exactly what our client wanted is the most important part of the process. That’s why we work together with clients to make an efficient, functional, and satisfactory design.

Knowledgeable

What comes along with experience, but that we think deserves to be mentioned by itself, is code knowledge. Building dental and medical offices can be tricky because they’re held to different standards than the average house. Heidan’s team is knowledgeable in the specific codes and building regulations needed to build a dental office successfully. We’ll get your office built and turn-key ready, handling all of the red tape for you.

Dental Needs

We understand that dental offices come with some unique needs. For one thing, this is a workspace that needs to fit machinery and seating while still having room to move around. This is why it’s so important that we understand how to bring functionality into a small space.

There’s more to design than just space, however. Dental offices come with a need for balance in design. For many people, dentist visits are stressful and can cause anxiety. That’s why it’s important to us that your office will be functional and comfortable. Not only should it be designed to remain hygienic and clean, but not to seem overly sterile.

We aim to create a friendly, welcoming space for you, your employees, and your clientele. After all, this building will be representation of your company. As the face of everything you stand for, it needs to be agreeable and easy to work in.

Give us a call or email to let us know you’re interested! We’ll be glad to work with you, creating another successful build and a satisfactory experience.

How Heidan Can Help Design Your Medical Office

If you’re looking to expand your practice by building another office, or looking to open your very first one, Heidan can help. We have almost 20 years of experience building high-quality homes and offices in Toronto. Putting forward the money for a medical office building can be a huge investment. That’s why we’re here to fulfill your building needs and do it well.

Fully Customized Design

When you plan to build a medical office, you surely have some ideas in mind of how it will look. Maybe you know how you want the waiting room to look. It could also be that you’ve only thought about your personal office. No matter how extensive your plans are for your new medical office, our team will work alongside you to make it exactly how you want it!

Our team is dedicated to helping you design the office of your dreams. We’ll be there every step of the way to ensure the design fits your expectations. We’re not all about appearance though! We’re also experienced with designing efficiently, making your and your staff’s jobs as effortless as possible. Our years of practice have given us the knowledge we need to make the ideal office, all within medical building code.

Turn-Key Construction

Once your design has been fully realized, someone will have to bring it to life. We’re the team for the job! We’ve brought to life countless offices across Toronto and we can do the same to yours.

Arguably one of the best parts about Heidan making your office a reality is that it will be ready to use when we’re finished. Too often, construction companies will leave behind wood, nails, or other debris. We take our professionalism very seriously, and part of that is making buildings ready-to-use. When we’ve finished your medical office, you will be able to put it to use immediately without having to deal with cleanup.

Friendly Team

Something we find great importance in is having a friendly team of designers and builders. Because we’re going to be working with you throughout the entire building process, we ensure our team is made up of friendly people. After all, to be sure that communication between client and team is clear, we need to be approachable and flexible.

Experienced in the Field

Experience in general building and design is incredibly important when hiring for a project like this. Unfortunately, experience building houses doesn’t make a team capable of building a medical office. There are specific laws and guidelines that must be followed when planning something medical. That’s why we’re happy to inform you that Heidan isn’t only experienced in building houses. We’ve been successfully building medical offices for nearly two decades and know the codes from front to back. You can rely on us to leave you with a legally sound office of impeccable quality.

Bring Together Tradition and Modernism with a Transitional House

If you’re looking to have a custom home built, you’re probably coming across all kinds of new terms. One of these that you’ll see frequently is ‘transitional’. But what does it mean? What exactly is a transitional house?

It can actually mean a great many things depending on what contractor you ask. What we at Heidan Construction mean when we say transitional is this: We combine traditional home design with modern home design. The result is a house that blends in well in your neighborhood but has a modern interior. Some people aren’t interested in an aggressively modern exterior in a neighborhood of more traditional homes. Transitional houses are the perfect solution.

Open Concept

One of the key features of a transitional home, according to many, is its open concept. Transitional homes very frequently aim to get rid of the stifling walls found in the average house. Every room being divided can make a house feel cramped and separated. With less dividing walls, you can look from the living room to the kitchen to the dining room with no problem. Communication among occupants is easier and light travels better.

An open concept home is not only more spacious in general, it’s also easier to clean and take care of. With less cracks and corners for dust to collect in, keeping up with housework is a breeze.

Accessible

One because transitional homes are so frequently open concept, that makes them incredibly accessible. Those with mobility struggles will have a much easier time moving around a transitional, open concept home than one with a lot of walls and doorways.

Transitional homes are also light on decor. The smaller amount of objects in a room makes it easier to navigate and easier to keep clean.

Sleek but Cozy

The key to transitional house design is having a combination of curvy and sharp elements. The roundness and angles make a great combination. They bring together masculinity and femininity in a way that looks truly fantastic for anyone. Bringing these two features together leaves you with an interior that feels both sleek and cozy. Combining slick, glass tables with upholstered chairs and couches gives an impression unlike anything else.

This kind of dichotomy is also achievable in the house design itself. Key features such as glass railings on stairs pair well with warm, wood tones and big, glass windows. Bring together carpet and hardwood to give a contrast between two rooms without involving a wall.

Unique

There are truly so many ways to go right with a transitional home. Transitional homes give the designer a license to get personal. There are a million unique combinations that will land you a transitional design. Give us a call at Heidan Construction to discuss transitional home designs. We would love to set up a meeting to start planning!

Let Heidan Help Build the Clinic of Your Dreams

Contracting someone to build a new dental or medical office can be quite an undertaking. With the nature of a clinic, it’s important for the job to be done right. You don’t want the company you hire to be cutting corners or it will lead to expensive fixes down the line. Heidan is the right company for the job and we’re here to tell you why we’re confident of it.

Experienced

When hiring someone to do a commercial building job for you, it’s important to get someone experienced. Any clinic you have built will be the face and representation of your company. You need quality that will reflect your brand’s quality.

Heidan Construction has 15 years of experience and a team of seasoned professionals. We’ve been working and honing our skills with project after project. When we get hired for something that takes true craftsmanship, we’re ready.

Knowledgeable

Being experienced in building houses is not the same as being experienced with clinics. Both take an extensive knowledge of general construction, but clinics take more. There are specific regulations and requirements that need to be met for medical buildings. Because we have extensive experience with building clinics and medical offices, we know our way around medical building code.

Building regulations are one thing, but practicality is another. While we help you in designing the office of your dreams, we keep efficiency in mind. Because your clinic will be a foundation for your practice for years to come, it’s important that it’s designed right. That means a floor plan that maximizes space efficiency so that your staff can be their very best.

Thorough

Our team is not only experienced, we’re also thorough. We take our work very seriously and part of that work is cleaning up after ourselves. After all, it’s not you job to deal with the aftermath of construction.

Our goal in building for clients is to review building plans, discuss a plan of action, and then put that plan into action. By the end of the process, all that’s left should be the product you paid for. That’s what we at Heidan Construction are dedicated to delivering. When we’re through with your clinic, you’ll be able to step into a finished building and see nothing left behind in it but potential.

Friendly

As serious as we are about our work, we also find great importance in being friendly. After all, a big part of our job is communicating with clients and each other. A team that works together needs to communicate well if they want their finished product to be made well. Not only that, if we’re to know what we’re doing, we have to be great at communicating with the people who hire us. In the end, it’s you who we’re taking direction from. Your needs are important to us and we can’t consider a project successful if it’s not exactly what was asked for.

Why Updating an Office Interior is Worth Investing In

When running your business out of an office, spending money on non-necessities can feel frivolous. Especially if your business is small, it’s important to prioritize spending wisely. So when is it a good time to update the interior of your office? How is it worth your while to put the money into such a project? After all, a slightly outdated interior isn’t hurting anything, right? Well, it might be! Let’s see why it’s worth it to give your workplace an update.

Employee Morale (Including You!)

When you spend a third of your day inside an office, it kind of becomes a second home. I’m sure you don’t have to be reminded how much time and dedication you put into your job. Any employees sharing your office space feel the same way.

Having a badly outdated office space can really drag down employee morale. That means less productivity and less enthusiasm. It could be anything from bad lighting to that one outlet that won’t work. Each little thing that a person finds bothersome about a place they spend so much of their time will bring down their mood.

This includes you! Surely, spending your time working from somewhere that reminds you of an old dentist’s office from the eighties isn’t going to make you feel good about your professional accomplishments! The way your office looks is going to feel like a reflection of your success, so do yourself a favor and fix it up to be more honest.

An updated interior will make everyone in your office, including yourself, feel better about working there. It will inspire more ingenuity and get rid of that desperate need count down the minutes of the last hour you’re working.

Public Appearance

Many office spaces are accessible to clients and customers. It could be that your office is where valuable clients come to schedule appointments or wait to meet with someone. That means your office is the representative environment of your business.

Just like a speaker who’s considered the face of a company, the office, to many, works the same way. When people come in to your place of business and see outdated desks and old, cheap waiting room chairs, that will affect their opinion of your business. It isn’t always a conscious decision for them to judge your book by its cover, but they will. It’s just how the human brain works. If they see an unappealing interior, they will associate bad aesthetic with your brand.

Because of how valuable your business’ appearance is to customer satisfaction, it more than pays to update. Even just updating the waiting area, if you have one in your office, will work wonders for this. Environment is important for a business. That’s why Heidan Construction is ready to help you with an environmental facelift. Just contact us when you’re ready and we can discuss update plans for the office you’ve worked hard for.

Updating the Home You Want To Retire In

Renovating your home can be inspired by many events in life. Maybe your family is growing and you don’t have enough bedrooms. It could be that you’re planning to sell and want to get the most profit that you can.

For many of us, the event that finally spurs us to get an upgrade is our retirement! After all of those years raising a family or growing a garden in the house you fell in love with, it’s hard to leave it behind. If that’s the case, why move? If you’re about to retire and you feel like your home just doesn’t offer what you need anymore, it’s time for an update!

Modernize

After a number of years living in one home, the once up-to-date interior can start lacking. Things need repair, cabinets announce the decade the house was built, walls need to be repainted. The first step to making your home feel new again is modernization!

Let our skilled professionals give your home that new feeling that it doesn’t have anymore, but could. Some fresh paint, an updated kitchen, and some landscaping could be all your home needs to feel like new again.

Add A Second Floor

If decor isn’t really the problem but, rather, you’re running low on space, consider an additional floor. The rambler house that was once enough doesn’t have the space for grandkids to stay the week or to entertain guests. An additional floor with more bedrooms and possible lounge space is a great solution. Not to mention, the view from a second floor bedroom is a fantastic change of pace.

This will give you enough room for storing the memories you’ve collected over years of great experiences. It will give you enough room to have overnight guests. A second floor will make your home feel bigger, grander, and like a whole new space.

Expand the Rear

If second floors aren’t your thing, due to personal taste or accessibility problems, try expanding the first level! This is a great way to add on new bedrooms or guest space without the inconvenience of stairs.

You could even use the additional space as a den so that your all-purpose living room can be more formal. Nothing makes you feel more established and adult than a proper, well-decorated, sitting room. Heidan Construction would love to help you achieve the home of your dreams. If that means giving you more space for leisure time, we’ll make it happen. After all, A front sitting room is the ideal place for talking with guests or professionals without the TV remotes and your evening literature cluttering up the space.
