There are two types of commercial renovations projects:

Capital Improvements: A capital improvement is a permanent structural change or restoration that enhances a property’s value, thus increasing it’s useful life. Owners might want to update their lobbies, HVAC system, new elevators in addition to common spaces. Interior and exterior lighting creates a modern and more welcoming environment. Furthermore, some owners might consider adding amenities to improve the lives of their employees.

Tenant Improvements: In commercial spaces, tenants typically have to create their own layout of their space clearly depending on their needs and wants. Therefore, there is usually a lot of remodeling that needs to take place from new carpet, inside layout, space lighting, and much more. Subsequently many of the spaces need to be updated to a modern feel.We offer commercial renovation services in office buildings of all types.

It feels fantastic coming into a lovely home where you and your family spend most of your time. At times, clients’ primary focus when thinking about renovations comes down to price. While the cost is essential, it should not be the only factor when making the final decision on who will build your dream home. For instance, would you want poor quality construction details staring you in the face day after day?

It is vital you do your due diligence before hiring a contractor that fits your needs. There are always more variables to consider, but these 5 are a great place to start!

1. Transparency: We believe transparency to be one of the most fundamental principles. It is important that you understand the status of the project at all times. The cost of the project, and issues you might encounter. Through transparency and communication, the contractor should build trust with their clients.
2. Licensed Professionals: Unfortunately the market is flooded with unlicensed professionals. This can be dangerous for the homeowners and will put the entire project at risk besides the fact that it is illegal to contract without a license. In our experience, we have had to fix many projects started by other unlicensed and unqualified individuals.
3. Communication: Communication is critical in any relationship. There must be a clear understanding of the clients needs and having an open flow of communication between the client and contractor. The contractor should be always available via phone calls, emails, or whatever form of communication that best works for the client.
4. Project Timeline: Every project has a timeline it must follow, and contractors should do their best to adhere to the project deadlines and goals. A telltale sign is when the clients project deadlines around without notice or reason. Again, communication and transparency are essential in this regard.
5. Client Service: The client/contractor relationship is very important. Customer service is a must in this business. Without the client, there is no contractor, plain and simple. A good contractor just does not react to the problems their clients might face. It is very important to go beyond by anticipating issues before they arrive and provide the client with solutions.

Finding a contractor that meets your needs for the project is as important as the project itself. Do not settle for any less than what you and your beautiful home deserve! We hope these 5 items help you in making a more informed decision on what to look for when hiring a contractor. This way you are more informed when you plan your next construction project.
