Another service that we offer to our clients is Commercial Construction Building Additions. In simple terms, we help our clients expand their current commercial building by constructing an addition onto their current building structure. Commercial buildings can include industrial warehouses, office space, retail locations (gas stations, shopping malls, large outlet stores, etc.), and all other types of structures used to operate a business.
The first step in planning a business expansion or addition is setting a vision. What are your goals for the building? What is the most important aspect of the building expansion? What is the financial situation? Answering these types of questions allows you to prepare yourself to begin planning with a commercial contractor. Once the initial phone call is made we typically like to schedule a site visit in order to view the facility to gain an understanding of the type of business we will be working with. We also use this time to answer any questions that our current or future clients may have. Having an expert commercial contractor at your facility in the early stages of your planning process is the key to a successful project. Once all of the project details are discussed we head back to the office to generate detailed drawings and plans for the project along with out project proposal estimate. With 40 years of experience in the construction industry, we understand the importance of providing quick and highly accurate estimates that meet our clients exactly where they are in their project. Whether it’s a simple budgetary consultation or an urgent project that needs to move forward, we will ensure it gets taken care of.
Once the project is accepted by the client we then begin the next stage in the process working towards the building permits. Building permits are required anytime you are performing major renovations to your existing facility and also when you are adding on to your existing building structure. Failure to obtain a commercial building permit can have detrimental repercussions including fines, penalties and even demolition of all construction if it can not be made to meet code. In summary, commercial building permits serve an extremely important purpose in keeping the construction industry safe from sub-par construction and remodeling work. We know what it takes to obtain these types of permits helping you along the way. Minnesota Commercial Building Permit Helpful Links
