FAQ

CONSTRUCTION

When does the construction process begin?
The construction process begins during lease negotiations. It all starts with the Level Of Development (LOD). Using the LOD, The CSC
Construction team will create a clinic space plan for you.

What is an LOD?
An LOD is a set of drawings, usually provided by the Land Lord that show the existing conditions and dimensions of the space.

What happens after I receive the space plan provided by the CSC?
You should forward the CSC provided space plan to an architect of your choice (we can help you find an architect), who will convert it to
full permit drawings, so you can obtain building permits.

When do I start construction?
As soon as the architect is done with the permit-set of plans, you can forward those plans along with the CSC Construction Manual to 3
General Contractors for competitive bidding. The CSC Construction Team will help you filter through those bids to find the right general
contractor.

So, I have a permit and a general contractor, what now?
Now you can begin to build! Well... provided the Land Lord has given you keys to the space. Once that happens, you’re off to the rac-
es, and can order all the assorted furnishings, fixtures, and equipment needed for your clinic, while the general contractor handles the
physical buildout of the space.

Can I purchase whichever furnishings and fixtures I want?
We are a national franchise, and as such, maintain a brand identity by only outfitting our clinics with specific furnishings and fixtures. The
specific items to outfit your clinic are all issued to you in an easy-to-use template vendor guideline.

Once construction is complete, what do I need to do to open?
There is a final checklist to follow which includes a set of photos to send to the CSC. In RD areas, those same items will funnel first to
the RD who will in turn send them to the CSC. Once inspected and approved, Axis will be activated and you will be cleared to treat pa-
tients and process payments. Congratulations, you are officially open for business!
