I will work with you to develop a design for a veterinary clinic that is built around what you specifically want, need and can afford. That design will be given to you in the form of a Schematic Floor Plan.
That plan will also set forth the organization and flow of your facility. It will be an accurate, to scale, drawing showing the overall clinic and specific room configurations, room sizes, circulation paths/hallways, entries/exits, walls, doors, and windows. It will also show the location of veterinary medical equipment, caging, cabinetry, furnishings, furniture, storage units and even clerical stations.
In addition to the Schematic Floor Plan, I will also give you a Material, Systems and Equipment Resource Manual. The purpose of this manual is to provide you and your local architect/contractor with the detailed veterinary specific information needed to translate the Schematic Floor Plan I gave you into a set of Working Drawings from which you can build your project.
How we will do it:
Producing the Schematic Floor Plan starts with an initial fact-finding phone conversation with you, the decision maker.
Out of this I will create a spreadsheet listing of rooms, rooms sizes and an overall clinic size. This will then be cross-checked against the available space and your budget.

The next step will be for me to draw and then send you my first try at a plan for your clinic. This design will become the beginning of an ongoing iterative design process, where I will produce and send you a series of new and improved plans based on your review and comment. The goal is to work together to create the best possible plan tailored to your specific needs.
How long it will take?
As little as three weeks, most likely not more than five or six

What it will cost:
The fee for producing the Schematic Floor Plan (including all the iterative drawings that go before the final drawing) is a $1.85 a square foot of clinic area. This means that for a 2,000 square foot facility the fee would be $3,700.

These are two examples of Schematic Floor Plans that I have recently drawn. The first is a small 1,600 square foot facility that was built around four exam rooms. The second is 11,000 square feet and built to include fourteen exams. In contrast if you were to look back at clinics designed and built in the early 2000’s you would see these more recent facilities have nearly twice as many exams per square foot of clinic.
My goal on every project is to question the status quo, to give you a facility that maximizes capacity while streamlining the functionality.
