Guide to Office Remodeling
Office renovation services may range from major changes to minor interior redesigns to both the interior and exterior of the structure. Even a minute business building renovation may turn out to be a substantial ordeal, though. Before diving into a renovation project, it is important to have an idea of the full scope of the process.
Needs and logistics of business renovation
The preliminary step in a commercial property renovation is to acknowledge why a building needs renovation. Some common reasons comprise increasing energy efficiency, amenity upgrades, modernizing the appearance of the space, and change in tenancy. During this step, the building owner and usually a tenant are the only parties involved. Before proceeding to the subsequent phase, it is important to view the neighborhood, current state of the property, property violations, certificate of occupancy, and other factors.
Find designers and contractors
After finding out exactly what you need to get done, you should be able to determine the types of professionals you require in your project. If you’re merely dealing with energy upgrades, an electrician and HVAC professional could be enough. You might want a contractor or an architect if you’re renovating the front of a property. Look for personal recommendations if possible and research to ensure you have someone that delivers results on schedule charges a fair rate, and is easy to work with.
Formulate a budget
Since formulating a budget may be hard for commercial building remodeling, especially if first estimates aren’t available, this is an ideal time to start a budget. Maybe you had some idea of what you wanted to spend on the project, but now that you’ve dealt with professionals, you should have a better idea of what you can expect to spend.
Design your renovation
Unless you’re making improvements that are unseen, for example, energy upgrades, you’ll want to work with another design professional, interior designer, or with an architect to find out what you want to space to look like when it’s complete. Even if you’re doing work behind the scenes, you’ll still need to come up with novel blueprints to document the changes.
Acquire your permits
Before initiating a business renovation, acquiring permits for the work would be one of your crucial responsibilities. If you’re working with an architect or a contractor, they will most probably take care of the permits. Otherwise, you might need to head to city hall. To handle these types of permits, different cities may have various departments.
Do the remodeling
Once you’ve taken care of the permits, planning, and design, you should be ready to initiate the construction. In the majority of the cases, you might not even be involved in this phase of the commercial building renovation process unless you are doing the work partially. If the contractor needs to charge more, for instance, if any problems arise, we will send you an addendum to the current project.
Carrying out necessary inspections
Being a business owner, you might want to visit the property when it’s being remodeled to make sure that the project is on time and your expectations are being met. While meeting these codes is often the responsibility of the designer or contractor, you could be on the hook if the building is not up to code after the construction is completed, so this is something that may give you an advantage in the long run.
