The Brief

A long-distance project with a supply-chain crisis

Dr. McCatty's denture and implant studio in Texarkana — 3 hours from DFW — required disciplined project management throughout construction. The most significant problem: specialty stainless-steel dental cabinets for the lab had a 6-month vendor lead time, a potentially practice-ending schedule failure for a new dental start.

For a new dental start, a 6-month supply delay on a critical item isn't a project problem — it's a financial crisis. Dr. McCatty needed an alternative immediately.


The Approach

Built the stainless steel lab in-house. Delivered in 2 weeks.

  • 01

    In-house fabrication — medical-grade, 2 weeks, 1/3 the cost

    When the vendor delay surfaced, Pereff fabricated the stainless-steel dental cabinets in-house — same medical-grade specification — in 2 weeks at 1/3 of the vendor's cost. No other commercial contractor in the market can do this.

  • 02

    Long-distance PM: daily sub and vendor oversight

    Pereff maintained daily project management contact with subcontractors and vendors across the 3-hour drive. Stephen walked the site on the schedule consistent with all Pereff projects. No travel distance changes the site-walk standard.

  • 03

    One Source Solution: broker, design, construction, marketing, bank facilitation

    Dr. McCatty's engagement was a complete One Source Solution — healthcare RE broker to find the space, design to build the practice, construction, marketing support, and bank facilitation enabling up to $1.2M in financing. No extra fees, no outside consultant.


Key Decisions

The decisions that made this project work

Capability differentiator

Built the lab cabinets — capability unique to Pereff

Most contractors would have waited 6 months or scrambled for an alternative supplier. Pereff built the cabinets. Medical-grade stainless steel, 2 weeks, 1/3 of vendor cost. No other commercial contractor in the market can do this.

Schedule protection

Identified the vendor delay early — acted immediately

The 6-month vendor delay was identified during construction planning, not after a purchase order was placed and a slot was lost. Early identification left time to fabricate in-house and hold the schedule.

Financing outcome

Up to $1.2M in financing for a new dental start

Through Pereff's healthcare bank relationships, Dr. McCatty received up to $1.2M in financing — significantly beyond what conventional dental start loans typically offer. This requires developer-grade bank relationships a GC-only firm cannot access.

Long-distance logistics

3-hour-away project, 4-month delivery, zero schedule failure

Long-distance projects fail on communication and oversight. Pereff's daily PM contact and regular site visits held the schedule at 4 months. Practice opened on time.


Outcome

What was delivered

Dr. McCatty's denture and implant studio opened in 4 months — 3 hours from DFW, with a stainless-steel lab Pereff built in-house in 2 weeks at 1/3 vendor cost, and up to $1.2M in new-start financing facilitated.
