STAGES OF A COMMERCIAL REMODELING PROJECT

In the project discovery meeting for a commercial remodeling project, it’s our goal to learn and understand the business as much as possible. Listening carefully to the clients needs and making sure we understand exactly what they are looking for in this project. Using our experience in the industry, we also try and share any ideas with them along with listing any potential issues we may see with the project.

PROJECT DISCOVERY MEETING (SITE VISIT)


Communication is the Key to a Successful Project – On our team, good communication starts at the very beginning of the project. After meeting with the client or potential client, it’s then time for a “Project Estimate Meeting” with the Randahl Construction team. This meeting is used to convey the clients vision or goals with our team members who will be hands on during the project. This can also further identify any specific issues that may have been missed in the discovery meeting as well as ensure the accuracy of the numbers we are providing.

PROJECT ESTIMATE MEETING (SITE VISIT)


A detailed proposal is presented to the client once all of the specifics of the commercial remodeling project have been discussed. When presenting our estimates to the client, we make sure that our estimates are clearly communicated and the work we are to be performing is clearly laid out. Being honest, accurate and trustworthy is our goal. Project Exclusions are very important in this process because in the construction industry it’s very important to understand exactly what is NOT included in the proposal.

PROPOSAL PRESENTATION


Our pre-construction meetings are simple… Get everyone on the same page from the beginning of the project. We use these meetings to update our team members on any changes from the original plan and discuss any scheduling issues prior to the project launch date. Construction schedules are also printed and discussed amongst the group.

PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING



JOB SITE PREPARATIONThe first stage in the construction process of a commercial remodeling project is preparation. Proper planning and job site preparation can help minimize any disruptions in business operations. Security walls, plastic protection and proper ventilation is all apart of this process.

DEMOLITIONDemolition is the stage of the commercial remodeling project where everything is removed from the existing space preparing for the new design. Bottom line… construction demolition is FUN! That said, it’s only fun when done safe and cautiously.


Framing is the stage of the commercial remodeling project where our carpenters fit together pieces steel or wood to give a structure support and shape.

CONSTRUCTION FRAMING


HVAC (HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING)

Our HVAC team or comfort specialists, ensure that the building and project have healthy building conditions during and after the project. Proper upgrades and maintenance are performed at this time as well.



PLUMBINGOur plumbers specialize in installing new plumbing systems or maintaining existing plumbing systems used for potable (drinking) water, sewage and drainage. This stage of the project typically happens once the basic framing is complete.

ELECTRICALOur electricians specialize in the electrical wiring of the building, stationary machines and related equipment. They typically either repair existing electrical infrastructure or install a complete new system for our clients. The electricians usually follow the carpenters in the process but need to be completed before the ceiling and drywall.


FIRE PROTECTIONOur fire protection team provides updates and the necessary new systems for the project at hand, ensuring that our clients are up to code upon project completion. The fire protection team is typically on site installing or updating the systems before the drywall is placed on the framing.



SHEETROCK / DRYWALLNew sheetrock and drywall offer a fresh clean look to facilities and finish off any new walls that have been added. Professional mudding and taping is a must in the commercial remodeling industry because poor craftsmanship will be easily identified. Our drywall team is fast, professional and complete our projects with great detail. Sheetrock can be installed once all of the interior systems are in place.

One of the most over looked details in a commercial remodeling project is the ceiling design. Ceilings make a much larger impact on projects than people think. There are many different solutions for the ceilings in commercial space but the most common is ceiling tile. Acoustical ceiling tile can offer a fresh clean modern touch to the office space and really make a difference on the project. The ceiling tile is usually one of the last stages to complete in a remodel.

CEILING TILE


PAINTINGOnce all of the internal systems (HVAC, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, ETC…) are complete and the drywall is finished, the painting team can begin. As in all design projects, choosing and selecting the proper paint for a commercial project is key. It’s also very important to understand that your paint is only as good as your painters, so quality work when painting is essential.


Once the walls are painted and the previous work is complete, the flooring can be installed. Industrial flooring solutions include: Carpet, VCT, polished concrete, ceramic tile, hardwood, or linoleum.

CARPET & FLOORING



PROJECT CLEAN UPWith most of our projects happening in businesses that are operating and continue to operate during construction, clean up and keeping the work space clean is essential. With proper dumpsters and clean up supplies on hand, our team makes sure that the job site remains clean and safe at all times. The final clean up stage in our projects are taken very seriously because when we present the finished project to our clients we want it to be spotless.

After the project is complete, Randahl Construction then works with the local city inspectors finishing all of the required inspections.
