The Operatory Dental office design in the Pacific Northwest

Edition of 16/09/2026 28 entries, 4 sections Last revision: 16/09/2026

Section 1of fourWho does what

The parties on a dental office project, their scope of work and the point where each responsibility ends. The entries are listed by phase of the project, then in the order they were revised.

4 entries, revised between 11/09/2025 and 19/08/2026.

How the section is ordered

  • An entry belongs to one phase: the work of that phase is what decides it.
  • The share column reads the section, not the project: it shows how much of this section a phase carries.
  • The order inside a phase is the date of the last revision, newest last.

No public body publishes a staffing model. How many assistants work a chair is a practice decision, and no code, register or manufacturer sheet carries a figure for it.
