When renovating a business space, it is important to make sure that the process goes as quickly and smoothly as possible to avoid disrupting workflow.

At Hyline Construction, they know everything that is required to remodel a commercial building, and they have years of experience helping business owners create attractive, functional commercial spaces.
The Commercial Remodeling Process
Remodeling a commercial space can be an enormous undertaking. As a business owner, it can be difficult to manage a company’s operations at the same time as renovating a commercial space, which is why it is so important to hire a commercial builder who will be able to handle every step of the remodel. The process for remodeling a commercial building includes:
Research and Planning
Research and planning for a commercial remodel can include a wide variety of tasks. Some of the aspects of this stage include:
- Permit acquisition
- Building code and certificate of occupancy review
- Review and resolution of existing building violations
- Budget and timeline setting
- Electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and HVAC mapping
- Fire protection planning
- Structural drawing
- Building design (interior and exterior)
- IT infrastructure planning
- Insurance and security
- Material procurement
Construction
Once the project preparation is completed, the construction phase of the remodel of a commercial building can begin. One of the biggest tasks is coordinating collaboration between the trades, architects, and designers to keep the project moving quickly and efficiently. Make sure that a plan is in place to smoothly transition from one stage of the building process to the next and communicate this plan clearly with all of the parties involved. Make sure that the commercial building remodel receives the proper inspections and certifications throughout the building process.
Completion
After all work has been completed and the site has been properly cleaned, any remaining aesthetic tweaks can be made and furniture can be moved back in. All certifications, contracts, lien documentation, user manuals, guarantees, and drawings should be filed away in case they are ever needed for future reference.
