Why should I try a commercial renovation?

New Build above

Almost ready to open

I’m going to explore this topic for a few posts, because most of the time that I’m doing design, it involves a renovation rather than a New Build.

Here are some quickie comments on the topic that I hear much of the time.

I need More Room or Less Room.

My space is looking dated.

My customers are beginning to look elsewhere

My company has grown and I want to show the public that a renovation is a sign of things to come

My Furniture or carpet is  worn, ripped and stained.

My space plan isn’t working any more.

I need new technology

I want to attract new employees

Upgrades – What does it cost for a commercial renovation?

Remodeling costs or Tennant Improvements costs vary greatly

There are good reasons why landlords make you sign tenant agreements.  They want the value of their property to grow, and for you to grow your business also.  “No run down properties for them”.

On the higher end of the scale

Factors like rezoning issues, occupancy changes,  seismic upgrading, installation of new air conditioners, exterior finishing, handicapped-accessible entrances all easily raise your costs.  If you anticipate any of these types of renovations, you can expect to pay more than the basic $187.50/sq. ft. for your remodeling job.

On the lower end of the scale

New fixtures, paint, seating, carpets and lighting may be all you need to accomplish a brand new face lift.
