Planning a fit-out for your new or existing commercial space requires a well-thought-out design and a general contractor with experience transforming interior spaces into attractive and functional businesses. Whether that space is an office, a dining establishment, or an art gallery, KH Construction Management Corp is the right team to help you transform your concept into reality.
When choosing a general contractor in Warrington, PA to remodel your new or existing commercial space, there are some basic considerations for making the right selection. We know that this process can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. Here are a few steps to take so that you get the right match for your unique project.
1. Plan Ahead
Start by preparing a detailed wish list and budget with input from your own staff and maybe feedback from your clients. Once you have that list, consider hiring a professional designer to prepare drawings and specifications. If that is not in the budget, start searching for a contractor that has a good command of executing a client’s vision.
2. Know the Rules
Many businesses rent their spaces, so be sure to check with the landlord about any building regulations that might affect the fit-out. You will also want to look for a contractor who understands local building codes.
3. Vet the Contractors
This is such an important step. Get recommendations from others in your industry. Check credentials and references. You want an established general contractor with a good track record that is also licensed and insured. Once you have narrowed down your search, meet with potential contractors at the physical space to get a hands-on feel for how they approach the project and how well your personalities jive. Don’t be shy about asking plenty of questions.
4. Request Proposals
We recommend that each contractor on your short list be presented with identical proposal forms or guidelines. It is almost impossible to compare apples to apples if you leave it up to the candidates to prepare their own proposals without clear instructions about what you need. This includes items such as the submission of a project schedule, payment schedule, and certificates of insurance. There are available RFP (Request for Proposal) forms online and through various construction organizations.
It is important that you hire a construction company that will work with you throughout all phases of the project. KH Construction will partner with you to ensure your fit-out runs smoothly and efficiently.
