A commercial remodeling project is a major undertaking for any business. Most commercial spaces only undergo comprehensive renovations once or twice during their lifetimes. As buildings age, some form of deterioration is inevitable. The result is an office space, retail store, dental office, healthcare clinic, or other commercial space that looks outdated, unkempt, and run-down. Apart from putting off potential customers, neglected commercial building spaces can impact employee morale. Aging systems can also raise the risk of safety hazards and commercial building code violations. Sometimes, due to the changing nature of the business and new technologies, you simply have to make some significant alterations to your business space as well. This could be as quick as adding energy-efficient fixtures to an office space or as extensive as completely remodeling an entire doctor's office to accommodate new equipment.
A commercial remodeling project will make permanent changes to the interior or exterior of a building or structure. It could involve many things, such as:
Businesses often hire commercial remodeling contractors when the existing structure is no longer suitable for their goals or production methods.
In contrast, a commercial renovation is used to make an aging space fresh or new again. Instead of making drastic changes, a commercial renovation contractor will do things like:
Apart from the obvious advantage of improving the appearance of a commercial space for employees and clients alike, a commercial renovation project can also improve the resale value of the property.
While the scale and scope of individual projects can vary drastically, most remodeling projects have the same processes:
Planning and design phase.
Inviting bids from general contractors.
Selecting a bid and signing the contract.
Demolition and reconstruction phase.
Final clean-up and finishing touches.
With Corporeal Visions, you have the option of skipping the bidding process altogether and going straight from design to construction. It saves time, reduces potential lack of coordination, and may also lower the total expenses for the project. Corporeal Visions offers a comprehensive set of commercial remodeling services, including both planning/design services and the actual construction using an in-house general contractor. If speed is of the essence in your commercial remodeling project, you can rely on us to get the job done quickly without sacrificing quality.
When you are making changes to a commercial property that is already in use, there is always the risk of having to shut down your business operations. This is one of the reasons why many organizations only contact commercial renovation contractors when absolutely necessary. However, with the best commercial construction firms, you will not face too much disruption to your daily business. An efficient general contractor will use one of the following tactics:
All these steps bring their own set of drawbacks, including a reduction in the speed of the project, risk of accidents involving employees or clients, and disruption/inconvenience caused by sound, dust, and debris. Taking these things into account, a business owner may want to shut down the property entirely for the duration of the construction phase. They could even shift to a temporary location if the business renovation project is overly complicated.
You will encounter plenty of warning signs in your office/commercial space indicating an urgent need for remodeling contractor services. They can include the following:
