Space Program
The initial step to creating customized practice space involves Catalyst conducting a space evaluation. The evaluation consists of a series of questions meant to help Catalyst and the Architect gain an understanding of your current/desired workflow and future needs.
The answers provided are used to create a space program which the Architect uses as a guide to develop the initial Schematic Design drawings. Catalyst uses knowledge acquired through many years of healthcare design, development, and construction experience, to ensure the space program reflects your objectives.
Typical process will consist of 1 to 2 meetings within 1 to 2 weeks.
ACTION ITEMS
Catalyst conducts interview to obtain details regarding practice space and flow requirements.
Catalyst creates Space Program, vets with you, provides to the Architect for reference.
Example Space Program
Schematic Design
The Architect will use the space program information to produce an aerial view, known as a Schematic Design (SD) of your practice space. Once the SD is produced, Catalyst will coordinate a meeting with you and the Architect to discuss the layout. Every element of the Schematic Design drawings will be reviewed to ensure the potential placement of walls, doors, cabinets, sinks, and equipment provide the best possible flow in the most efficient way possible.
The Architect will use your feedback to update the SD. One to two drawing versions and meetings will take place to modify the SD according to your feedback to meet your needs and objectives.
The Architect will use the updated SD to electronically measure the rentable square footage (RSF) of the practice space. Catalyst will then inform you of the updated RSF. Once the SD is finalized, Catalyst will release the Architect to proceed to the next phase, Design Development (DD). At this time, the size and layout of the practice space is solidified.
Typical process will consist of 2 to 3 drawings, 2 to 3 meetings, within 4 to 5 weeks.
ACTION ITEMS
Catalyst conducts SD meetings to solidify space design.
Catalyst releases Architect to proceed to the next phase of design upon finalization of the SD.
Design Development
DD drawings build upon the SD by illustrating locations and elevations of millwork / casework, door sizes and types, door hardware, electronic equipment locations, electrical / power outlet locations / heights, and data outlet locations / heights.
Catalyst and the Architect will lead you through a discussion of the workflow, use of each room, and evaluate both the staff and patient experience. This process allows you to maximize the effectiveness of each room.
Typical process will consist of 2 to 3 meetings within 4 to 5 weeks.
ACTION ITEMS
Catalyst schedules DD meetings to solidify millwork / casework elevations, door size, types and hardware, equipment, electrical and data outlet locations.

Finish Selections
Concurrent with DD, Catalyst will commence the review and evaluation of the finish selections for the practice space.
Catalyst worked with a professional interior designer to assemble finish options for walls, millwork / casework, and flooring. Three neutral-modern color palette schemes are assembled for immediate consideration: Land, Forest, & Sky. Each color palette offers multiple selections within its scheme. All materials are of high-quality, derived from reputable manufacturers, commercial grade, and will stand up to the rigorous requirements of healthcare.
Catalyst works with each practice to customize the finishes by room / use. All the information is summarized in a Finish Schedule and included within the Construction Documents (CD).
Typical process take place concurrent with the DD timeline and consists of 2 to 3 meetings within 4 to 5 weeks.
ACTION ITEMS
Catalyst conducts a Finish Review meeting and Finish Selection Meeting.
Catalyst completes the Finish Schedule, review with each practice, and provides to Architect to incorporate into the CD.
The illustration above is an example of a completed Finish Schedule. Catalyst will obtain the associated information, complete and review the information with you to confirm your selections.

Construction Documents
The CD is a complete set of architectural drawings combined with engineered drawings.
The culmination of all the information gathered from previous meetings are combined and provided to the engineers. The engineers will produce detailed plans related to mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and, if applicable, structural engineering of the practice space. Final details are also incorporated, such as door hardware and locking mechanisms.
The CD is reviewed with you as a final check to confirm all your requests, objectives, and goals are met. Catalyst provides the finalized CD to the General Contractor (GC) for pricing.
Typical process will consist of 2 to 3 meetings within 7 to 8 weeks.
ACTION ITEMS
Catalyst conducts CD review meetings to confirm mechanical, electrical, plumbing, & finish selections.
Catalyst provides the CD to GC for pricing. Magnified Section: Door Hardware
CD is the complete set of drawings used to construct the practice space and can be up to 20+ pages. Below is an example page from the CD which explains the details related to the chosen finishes, ceiling grid, dimensions of the suite, and doors.
Bidding & Pricing
Catalyst works on your behalf to alleviate the burden of evaluating costs. Catalyst uses its vast expertise and experience to ensure each practice receives the most affordable pricing available.
The finalized CD is submitted to the GC to obtain detailed pricing and required permit approvals to construct the practice space. The GC provides Catalyst a cost breakdown of the material, labor, and hard and soft construction costs associated with the CD created for your practice space. Catalyst evaluates the pricing information for each line item and works with the GC to reduce costs.
Once Catalyst obtains the best costs, your Catalyst Representative will present the cost in the form of the Lessee Cost Construction Approval (LCCA). Value engineering options may also be presented to help reduce costs even further. In the LCCA, the total Tenant Improvement (TI) costs is subtracted by the TI Allowance (TIA), which is provided by the Lessor. The cost remaining shows the Tenant Improvement Balance (TI Balance), which is the amount the Tenant owes to the Lessor.
Typical process will consist of 1 to 2 meetings within 4 to 5 weeks.
ACTION ITEMS
Catalyst conducts a meeting to review the total improvement costs with you.
Catalyst releases the General Contractor to commence construction.
Example LCCA
The numbers used below are not actual amounts and only demonstrate a complete LCCA.
Construction Period
Once the GC is released to commence construction, a detailed construction schedule is provided. Catalyst will conduct periodic walk throughs of the practice space with you to monitor the progression of construction. Catalyst will also coordinate and assist your vendors (technology, phone services, etc.) to ensure they receive access to the practice space as needed.
When construction is nearing completion, Catalyst will introduce you to the Catalyst Property & Asset Management Team. They will assist you with the transition and opening of your new practice space. Catalyst will also schedule a final walk through with you to prepare a punch-list of items that require correcting. These items are minor in nature and will not interfere with obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy (CO) from governing authorities.
Upon receipt of the CO, Catalyst will provide the Commencement Date Certificate which evidences the Lease commencement date, term, total RSF of the Building, the Premises, pro rata share of space, monthly Base Rent, security deposit amount, and other pertinent details specific to your transaction. Typical process will consist of scheduled walkthroughs within 4 to 6 months
