1- The realization of architectural plans
For all commercial and industrial work that involves a change in the structure of your building, you will need to obtain an architect or engineer’s plan to be eligible for a building permit. The architects are also there to help you put your ideas on paper and to propose ideas for renovation plans for your commercial or industrial building. They will offer independent advice on your project with a professional perspective that will allow you to arrive at the optimal design solution.
2- Construction permits
For any renovation, you will need to obtain one or more permits from your city, who will have to approve your work according to the architectural plans obtained. Therefore, your architect and contractor will know what types of permits you will need and can guide you in going about obtaining them.
3- Foundations, framing and insulation
When constructing a new building, you will need new foundations, new framing and an efficient insulation for your field of activity. To ensure the long-term survival of your building and to avoid rebuilding, it will all need to be done the right way, right from the start. Choose foundation construction contractors who will make your building a true fortress against the external environment.
4- Development of industrial or commercial buildings
For performance and efficiency, or simply for aesthetic reasons, interior fittings can be very useful. Our architects and contractors have the experience to do this type of work. They are as capable of taking over an office renovation as an industrial warehouse renovation.
5- Electricity and plumbing
Whether it is for internal or external lighting, to power production machines or any other task requiring the expertise of a commercial electrician, we have the experts for your project. The same goes for providing your building with water with the work of plumbers in commercial projects that you will need for your renovation or construction.
6- A sprinkler system for fire protection
In terms of safety and insurance, it’s highly possible that during the lifetime of your building you will have to change or add a sprinkler system for fire protection and in the same way protect your employees and customers. To install and connect this type of system, you will need to do business with experienced contractors, since you can’t allow any room for error in this type of project.
7- The roof
It is important to do an annual check on the condition of your roof to make sure it keeps you dry, but also that it protects your building from possible water infiltration that would eventually result in mold. Often neglected, but so important, your roof provides protection to your entire building.
8- The exterior cladding
You would not dare to spend a full day outdoors in winter without wearing a coat. It’s the same principle for your exterior cladding. If it’s old, damaged or doesn’t effectively block outdoor weather, it can affect your structure. It could cause costly damage due to infiltration and mold. Therefore, it is essential to change your exterior cladding at the first signs of weakness. In addition, your exterior cladding is the view of your building that people see first so it’s important that it’s representative of your brand’s message.
9- Heating and cooling systems
For heating or air conditioning, maintaining an appropriate temperature in your building has an effect on your products. It also affects your employees and your energy bill. It’s always important to have a good system but, above all, a system made for the space that you have. A space that will be able to meet all your needs at the lowest cost. A heating or air conditioning system must be adapted to your commercial or industrial building.
10- The paint
Once the renovations have been completed and the walls are assembled or even to simply refresh the decor of your building, you always have the option of having the interior or exterior painted which can give your building a new look at a fairly affordable price.
11- The review of the construction site
Throughout the site, your contractor will ensure that the work performed meets your requirements and those detailed in your architectural plan. They can ensure that everything is structurally up to code and completed according to the plans so that your renovation is a success!
