Phase 3: Construction — Bringing Your Vision to Life Without the Stress
You’ve defined your goals, finalized the design, and secured your permits. Now, it’s time for your dream clinic to take shape. Construction is where ideas become reality—but it’s also where things can go off track. At Decca Design Inc., we don’t just hand over drawings and wish you luck. As a full-service Calgary interior design firm, we stay with you every step of the way.
This final instalment in our 3-part series reveals how Decca Design oversees construction to protect your timeline, budget, and vision.
Step 6:Project Administration — Your Advocate on Site
From the first shovel in the ground to the last coat of paint, construction is complex. With multiple trades, vendors, inspections, and moving parts, small miscommunications can snowball into costly delays or rework.
Why Decca Stays Involved:
- We compare contractor bids to ensure fair pricing
- We advocate for your interests during site visits
- We identify discrepancies early to avoid expensive change orders
Real-World Impact: In one Alberta clinic project, our team saved the client $26,000 by catching an inflated contractor cost. Without Decca involved, that oversight would have been approved.
Beyond the Blueprints: Coordinating What Others Overlook
Construction doesn’t cover everything. What about IT, security, signage, equipment delivery, and furniture install? These final details often fall through the cracks—but not with Decca.
We coordinate every non-contractor element to ensure your clinic opens on time and fully functional. That means no scrambling in the final weeks, no missing furniture, and no costly surprises.
Takeaway: Construction isn’t just about building walls—it’s about executing your full vision.
Step 7: Furniture, Furnishings & Final Touches
Designing a high-performance clinic means planning for durability, workflow, and comfort. But it’s the furniture and finishing touches that make your space feel complete.
From commercial-grade seating to custom millwork and curated artwork, we ensure everything reflects your brand and stands up to daily use.
Why This Matters:
- Durable materials stand the test of time
- Artwork and finishes enhance patient comfort and staff pride
- Every detail reinforces your brand image and values
Decca’s Full-Service Promise: We handle procurement, delivery, install, and even garbage removal. You walk into a finished space that’s ready to work as hard as you do.
Step 8 (Unofficial, but Essential): Celebrate
At Decca, we believe this moment deserves recognition. Opening day isn’t just the end of a project—it’s the beginning of your next chapter.
We’ve celebrated with hundreds of Alberta healthcare professionals as they open their doors, welcome patients, and realize their dream has come to life.
Our Promise: We don’t just build clinics. We build relationships that last.
