Dental Start Up Unscripted breaks down the difference between Hard Bid and Design Build.

 🚧 Construction cost easily add up to 70% 💰 of the budget on your dental practice start up. 

Bruce Johnson from APEX Design Build explains the process they use to bring those costs down.

In this unfiltered episode of Startup Unscripted, hosts Michael Dinsio and John Bertagni tackle one of the most misunderstood—and most expensive—parts of building a dental practice: construction. Joined by Bruce Johnsen from Apex Design Build, they dig into the critical differences between the traditional hard bid process and the increasingly popular design-build model.

Why do so many projects go over budget? 
Who’s responsible when plans fall short or are over budget? 
And how can dentists avoid getting stuck in the crossfire between architects and contractors? 

Bruce shares insight from decades of experience in healthcare design and construction, highlighting how Apex's one-stop-shop approach helps eliminate miscommunication and costly surprises. This episode is packed with hard truths, candid banter, and actionable advice for any doctor thinking about building or renovating their practice. If construction is 70% of your startup cost, you can’t afford not to listen.
