White Rock Construction
Renovating a dental office means working around a live clinic that still has patients booked. Our office is in White Rock, which means a site visit here costs you a phone call rather than a scheduled trip. The commercial stock on and around Marine Drive and Five Corners is small-footprint and largely older, so the constraint is rarely the design — it is what the building will actually support once a wall comes down.
Experience
Jas Oberoi has run Oberizon from its White Rock office since 2021. Work near White Rock runs through the same four stages.

We walk the space and price the risk before you commit to anything.
Drawings and permits go in while equipment and long-lead items are ordered.
One site lead holds the trades and calls you with progress every week.
Inspections cleared and the deficiency list closed before you take the keys.

Reviews
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
White Rock permits independently of Surrey despite being surrounded by it — a Surrey approval carries no weight here. The Building Division reviews against the City's Zoning Bylaw and Official Community Plan as well as the provincial construction regulations, so a use that is permitted in a neighbouring municipality still has to clear White Rock's own zoning.
White Rock's commercial space is concentrated in the uptown blocks around Johnston Road and Five Corners, with the Marine Drive strip running retail and hospitality. It is a compact market with an older population, which is why dental, denture, physiotherapy and optometry practices take up so much of the professional tenancy. Units are small and often sit above or behind retail, so servicing and access are the first questions, not the last. The city is geographically enclaved within Surrey but permits separately, under its own Building Division.
2026 range
$120–$260 per sq ft
turnkey — typically $240k–$520k for a 2,000 sq ft space
What that covers
What decides this build
The practice keeps seeing patients, so the clinic is rebuilt in zones with a working sterilization route maintained throughout. Losing sterilization for a day closes the whole practice, not one operatory.
The clinic is split into zones and rebuilt one at a time, with dust barriers and a temporary sterilization route kept in service. Weekend cutovers cover anything that would take an operatory offline mid-week.
We walk the space and price the risk before you commit to dental office renovation. Permits and services are the two that bite.
A temporary route is in service before the permanent one comes offline. Losing sterilization closes the practice, not one room.
Operatories come out of service in planned groups, with weekend cutovers for anything that would otherwise cost a weekday.
Where to go next
Questions
Yes — we have delivered 2 projects in White Rock, including The Shine Dental. We run dental office renovation across the Lower Mainland from a White Rock head office.
The building permit is issued by City of White Rock Building Division, reviewed against the BC Building Code and the city's own zoning. White Rock issues a distinct Commercial Tenant Improvement permit, separate from the residential stream. We confirm the current review window with the city at application rather than quoting one from a previous job.
$120–$260 per sq ft turnkey — typically $240k–$520k for a 2,000 sq ft space. Base-building condition and finish level move that number most. The full 2026 breakdown is in the cost guide at /cost.
Most conversations start around Uptown White Rock, Five Corners, and Marine Drive. We travel further when the scope justifies it.
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.
Yes, by rebuilding in zones and keeping a working sterilization route in service throughout. Phasing around live patient hours typically adds 30 to 50% to the programme against a full closure, and protects production days that would otherwise be lost.
Sterilization, above everything. Losing it for a day closes the practice rather than one operatory, so a temporary route is established before the permanent one comes offline.
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.
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.
