Reviews
What clinic owners say.
Very impressed with Oberizon Construction and the way they handled our dental clinic build. The team managed everything from planning to execution, and the final result was exactly what we envisioned.
We hired Oberizon to build out our dental clinic and they did an amazing job. The place looks so clean and modern, exactly the look we were going for.
Working with Oberizon on our dental clinic was a great experience from start to finish. Jas Oberoi and his team were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting the details right.
Local planning
How it runs in New Westminster.
Oberizon works across the Lower Mainland, including New Westminster's historic and high-density commercial areas. Every project is planned around site access, inspection windows and how the finished space has to run.
New Westminster work is shaped by older building conditions, healthcare tenancy. We use that to set scope and sequence before demolition starts.

What decides this build
A pharmacy is a secure area wrapped in a retail space. The dispensary boundary, sightlines and controlled-substance storage are fixed early, because they dictate where every wall can go.
The dispensary is laid out for sightlines and separation first — counter, consultation area and secure storage — and the millwork follows that. Where compounding is planned, the room is built to the USP 795 or USP 797 standard that applies, which cannot be retrofitted into a finished space.
Dispensary boundary
Sightlines, counter and secure storage are set first. Every other wall on the plan follows from them.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Does Oberizon handle pharmacy construction in New Westminster?
Yes. We run pharmacy construction across the Lower Mainland from our White Rock head office, and that includes New Westminster's historic and high-density commercial areas. Tell us the address and we will walk the space before you commit to anything.
Who issues the building permit for pharmacy construction in New Westminster?
New Westminster issues its own building permit, reviewed against the BC Building Code and the city's zoning bylaw, and the route differs from neighbouring municipalities. We confirm the current requirements with the city at the start of every job rather than working from the last one.
How much does pharmacy construction cost in New Westminster?
$180–$250 per sq ft turnkey — typically $270k–$375k for a 1,500 sq ft space. Base-building condition and finish level move that number most. The full 2026 breakdown is in the cost guide at /cost.
What areas near New Westminster does Oberizon serve for pharmacy construction?
Most conversations start around Uptown, Downtown, and Sapperton. We travel further when the scope justifies it.
What should I prepare before starting pharmacy construction in New Westminster?
The address, your lease stage and a target opening date. Drawings and a budget range help. The more we know early, the tighter the feasibility comes back.
What has to be settled first in a pharmacy fit-out?
The dispensary boundary, sightlines and secure storage. Those decide where walls can go and where the millwork lands, so they are fixed before layout rather than adjusted around a finished plan.
What changes if the pharmacy will compound?
Compounding brings the applicable USP 795 or USP 797 requirements into the build — a dedicated room with its own ventilation and finishes. It cannot be retrofitted into a completed space, so it is decided before drawings.
Can Oberizon review my New Westminster space before I commit?
Yes. A review finds the permit and service risks before you sign a lease or a design. That is the cheapest point to find them — a change after drawings are sealed costs weeks, not hours.
Planning pharmacy construction in New Westminster?
Before you commit to a space, drawings, a budget, or a construction timeline, book a consultation and we will tell you what has to be planned before construction starts.
