Commercial Remodeling
Older buildings have character. They have histories that tell us about the purposes they served and the ways they had to change to accommodate different occupants over the decades. When you purchase an older commercial building, you are the author of the next chapter in that building’s life. In many cases, writing that next chapter means remodeling the building to suit your needs.
Developing your Commercial Remodeling Project
No two remodeling projects are the same. Variables that can affect your project’s cost and timeline include:
- The age of the building and the time since its last renovation;
- The current condition of the building and its systems, such as its HVAC system and its electrical system. When big components like these are broken and outdated, you will likely want – or need – to invest in a replacement now to keep utility bills reasonable and avoid expensive repair costs later;
- How you plan to use the space later. If the building will house specialized equipment like a server room or a laboratory space, your remodel will be more expensive than simply converting it to offices or retail storefronts;
- Whether you need to bring the building up to today’s building codes;
- The materials and fixtures for the space; and
- The extent of your remodeling project. A project that involves completely gutting an older building and starting again from the ground up will cost more than a remodel that keeps the bulk of the interior intact.
During your initial consultation, our team will look at the building’s current state and your goals for it to determine a realistic remodel plan. We might be able to provide creative alternatives to your initial vision for the space that make more efficient use of it and can save you money.
