As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. If your business is looking at a remodel, or moving into a new location, there are a lot of details to consider. Make sure your project plan includes the five important steps on this check list.
Five Commercial Construction Planning Details You Can't Forget
1. Get the Lay of the Land
Assess and document the space to be renovated. Know what's there before you start digging in.
2. Consider Legal Matters
Building codes, zoning, permits - get these all in order before the sheetrock gets delivered.
3. Seek Professional Help
Line up any professional service providers you need to get the project off the ground (before you need them): architect, engineer, attorney, etc.
4. Get Three for One
Save time by getting all your contractor proposals at once (at least three). Call references and review their bids carefully.
5. Write on Time (and Budget)
Get a written, detailed work plan that includes timelines and budget for every portion.
