Whether you are a tenant doing a build-out for your new space or an existing company doing a remodel to modernize your building and add features you need, you may have several important questions to ask the commercial remodeling company. Here are a few that you should always be sure to include when choosing the right company for the job and having the right expectations going into the project.
- Will I be able to continue operations during remodeling? This is a common question when being out of business during remodeling could adversely affect your company. It isn’t just that you won’t be creating revenue – it can also mean your loyal customers seek out services elsewhere and then never return. You should always approach this topic with the commercial remodeling company so that a plan can be developed, if possible, to accommodate your needs, even if that means doing the work in stages.
- What makes you my best option for completing the commercial remodeling? It is always a good idea to know what the contractor brings to the table. A project will always go more smoothly and be less stressful when you have confidence that they have the expertise and background you want. This opens the opportunity to discuss how they’ll adhere to building codes, handle permitting, who will be supervising the work, what warranties they offer, and how long they’ve been in business, along with anything else you want to know.
- How do you manage the commercial remodeling to be sure it proceeds properly? You want to know what controls the company has in place relating to controlling costs, keeping the job on schedule, and ensuring quality from beginning to completion.
An informed customer is the best customer, so make sure you and your contractor keep the lines of communication open throughout the project. The ideal remodeling company will never sidestep any questions you may have regarding your commercial remodeling project.
