Whether you’re looking for a new business headquarters or want to invest in commercial properties such as hotels or apartment buildings, going from ideation to execution can seem a little overwhelming. Understanding precisely what to do, and when, can help you maintain your enthusiasm high for a smart business move. Here’s what you can expect as you follow the road to successful commercial building construction:

 

Pre-Planning Phasehitect and contractor

• Creation of building plans
• Contract signing

An architect will take your ideas, requirements and real estate location and turn them into an initial design proposal. We recommend having your contractor present while you analyze design details with the architect. Contractors can flesh out building specs with real-world costs and other observations that can prevent potential issues. Once you’re completely satisfied with the proposal, the architect will produce an official set of plans that your contractor can use to draw up the commercial construction contract.

 

Pre-Construction Phase

• Obtaining materials quotes
• Securing municipal approval

This phase means getting quotes from various suppliers for project construction materials. This includes pricing lumber, cement, tile, carpeting and everything else required. Pre-construction is also the time for securing necessary legal permits.

 

Procurement Phase

• Finalizing project financing
• Analyzing construction purchase order
• Paying contractors and/or subcontractors

Before breaking ground, contractors need to purchase project materials and hire any subcontractors. Look over the final purchase order to make sure all materials are included and detailed. As a trustworthy company with an excellent reputation, at Tech 24 Construction we also include transparent stipulations that let you know what to expect if market prices for materials fluctuate.

 

Construction Phase

• Project oversight
• Construction finalization
• Appliance/equipment installation
• State inspection

One of the most exciting parts of the project for owners is also the most demanding for contractors. Dedicated project overseers carefully establish timelines and deadlines while also supervising construction quality. By the time this phase ends, every internal and external structure will be in place and proper inspections will have finished.

 

Post-Construction Phase

• Construction cleanup
• Building walkthrough
• Furniture installation
• Certified inspection

Before finalizing the project and handing over the keys, the project supervisor and owner go over a checklist to make sure everything meets expectations. If any details are missing or require adjustment, they are taken care of before the architect provides a certificate of completion.
