Interior Remodeling For Commercial Establishments - Some Examples

If you have a commercial property, there will come a time when it is no longer fit for its original purpose. In this case, you will have to decide whether you want to sell and move to another property, or whether you want to do up the existing premises to turn them into something better. It is equally possible that you have purchased a property that needs significant work. Whatever the case may be, it is likely that you could use some examples of interior remodeling works that have been previously done to serve as your inspiration. Let's take a look at some ideas that are out there.

Ann Arbor Township Offices

Remodeling is all about keeping the old intact and blending it in with the new in order to improve on this. One commercial property that shows this really well is the Ann Arbor Township Offices. This project was completed by DP Development.

The exterior was remodeled to provide a uniform appearance to what was an assembly of unrelated additions that had occurred over the years. Interior space was remodeled and an addition was added to provide office and residential spaces for the fire fighters.

The building now looks like what it represents. The fire department is, of course, one of the most important community services out there and the building reflects this. It shows the unification between the various offices within the building, which gives the community an enhanced feeling of safety and security.

Lea Vale Health Ltd 

Another great example is found in Lea Vale Health Ltd. This was a project for a health clinic, which requires particular knowledge and expertise. It was completed by ApolloInteriors.com.

We had not used Apollo before but were given their contact details by the NHS dental department at Liverpool Road Health Centre who had used them and were very pleased with the work carried out.

This particular testimonial highlights an important issue, which is that you should only work with contractors that have an excellent reputation. There is no better advertisement than word-of-mouth and if you know a contractor has received numerous recommendations, which you can check up on, you know you have found one that is likely to deal with your project properly.

Springfield Surgery 

Springfield Surgery is an excellent example of a commercial renovation project that was completed by Stockport Kitchens.

A renovation of a Doctors surgery whilst they remained open. With our good planning and management whilst taking health and safety matters into account we completed the project on the forecasted day on predicted budget.

This highlights a number of important issues that you will have to take into consideration when you start to think about your own remodeling project. The first is that it can be very difficult to not experience any service disruption when you are remodeling and working with a company that has processes in place to avoid this is very beneficial.

The second and third issues are around timeliness and budget. Construction companies, unfortunately, are known to go over budget and to not complete jobs on time. Both of these issues can lead to significant loss of income on your organization. Although the usual recommendation is to always add 10% to your original budget just in case it really shouldn't make a massive difference. Timeliness is also hugely important, as the longer a job takes, the more disruption you will experience. Hence, whichever contractor you decide to work with in the end has to be one that has a reputation of delivering work on time and in budget and that they have a number of guarantees in place to ensure this.
