We will ensure you achieve beautiful results that bring you pride – and you should keep these considerations in mind to maximize the return on your renovation investment.


What Are Your Goals?


The only way to know if your renovation is a success is by setting a goal early on. Do you want your retail business to attract more customers? Is your commercial building due for regulatory upgrades to maintain compliance? Could your manufacturing facility or warehouse use more space to keep up with growing eCommerce demand - or even a secure meeting room? These are a few common goals that property owners set at the beginning of the renovation project planning.


What Is Your Budget?


Remember that the bidding process can be lengthy, especially when there’s a high-dollar renovation project in the equation. Ultimately, however, the total renovation cost makes or breaks whether the ROI was worth it. The best contractor for the job is not always the cheapest, and the lowest bid is not always the one you should accept first.

Make It Multi-Purpose


Rising construction material costs and growing talent gaps have made building new construction properties more expensive than ever. Renovation is often much more cost-efficient, especially when ROI is maximized. For business owners or even franchise operators who would like to create a customized space, it’s a mistake to think that new construction is the only option. Renovations allow owners to add to or subtract from cookie-cutter buildings that they want to improve to meet their needs better.


Once you have set the goal and budget, incorporate design elements that maximize the return on investment for commercial renovation projects. 

  • Safety features: Older buildings that haven’t been renovated in some time could lack modern safety features that prevent accidents and improve employee safety. Adding these preventative measures pays off over time by reducing liability costs and building a culture of safety.
  • Aesthetic issues: Outdated fixtures, architecture, and design could leave a lasting impression on customers — and not a good one. Use a renovation to help rebrand and refresh your business, expanding your customer base and increasing ROI.
  • Improve productivity: Warehouses and distribution centers face exponential growth due to changing shopping habits, and redesigning these spaces can help boost efficiency and productivity. Increasing revenue is a sure sign of ROI.
  • Increase sustainability: Now more than ever, customers want to invest in businesses that support sustainable practices. Bake this value into everything you do by choosing a commercial renovation plan with sustainability at the core.

The best way to get the most out of your commercial construction project is by working with a commercial construction contractor who has experience. A contractor who offers design-build services can identify issues before they create cost or scheduling overruns. From the ground up, any commercial construction project starts with a team that can read blueprints, tackle permitting, comply with local building codes and zoning ordinances, along with managing labor and cleaning up when the work is done. Communication needs to be prioritized along the way as well.
