POST CONSTRUCTION: WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

The reality is that the construction journey is far from over for commercial buildings when it comes to simply looking complete. When it comes to post-construction, the final phase of the construction process for commercial buildings involves much more than just clean-up. This stage consists of the relationship between you and your contractor as the hands-off process begins.

The experts at CBI are here to explain some good pointers and the key things you need to look for in this involved process.

 

THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT POST CONSTRUCTION

Warranties – A good builder will follow through with the warranty and fix any problems that pop up post construction. A builder taking the time to go over each warranty that covers your building and explaining how they apply to you is exceptional. Our team at CBI does exactly this — knowing how your warranties can be put to work for you empowers you as you manage your new building.

Building Check-ups – Working with a construction design-build company like CBI guarantees that you will get a check up to see how the building is doing after construction is complete and the general contractors leave.  At CBI, we’ll check in periodically with you to ensure you are just as satisfied today as you were when you had your grand opening for your new building.

Smooth Turnover – Building construction companies often deal with frequent turnover, but that should not affect the quality of construction for your building. Not to mention the follow-up with expansions and post-construction work. At CBI, we have an established system that ensures consistent results every time.

Additional Projects – If you are happy with how your commercial contractor is handling your post-construction phase, that makes a huge impact for future projects on your facility. Whether facility expansions or new buildings of their own, it is important to pay attention to the quality of work your builder gives you to determine whether it is wise to continue moving forward with them.

CONSTRUCTION BLUEPRINTS: CREATING THE PERFECT PLAN

Construction blueprints play an intricate role in the construction of all commercial buildings. Blueprints help the owner and the construction crew understand what the final building will look like and guarantee that all of the wants and needs are incorporated into the design build.  The blueprints also help to manage the budget and costs for the construction of the building. The construction blueprints are needed to obtain permits. However, before any of this can happen, blueprints need to be drafted.

The experts at CBI are here to explain some of the things that go into creating the ideal construction blueprint for a commercial building project.

BUILDING NEEDS AND WANTS

It is important to sit down and discuss all needs and wants of a project before a professional can begin to create a blueprint or layout for a commercial construction project. Doing so determines what type of commercial building is to be created —  medical office, financial building, restaurant, car dealership, education building, etc. Next, it is to be determined the size of the building and budget. All of these details are important to helping a professional commercial building firm create the perfect construction blueprint for the building.

BASIC LAYOUT

After the initial meeting, the next step is for the contractor to start with the most basic drawing of the basic layout.  This drawing will have details of the estimated size of the building, the number of floors and rooms, and the square footage of the building. This initial blueprint will show the basic size of the space to best determine where finer details like offices or plumbing may go within the general framework of the building.

ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES

The next step in blueprint plans is to add the architectural features and design elements. While the initial, basic layout includes walls that block off rooms, this version includes finer details like countertops and other features.

THREE DIMENSIONAL MODEL AND APPROVAL BY A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER

One of the final steps for contractors is to turn are taking the blueprints into a three-dimensional model. 3D models allow for a better idea of what the building will look like as it is designed.

The final step is to have the blueprints approved by a structural engineer. A structural engineer ensures that the dimensions and design of the building can safely be constructed. The structural engineer will help to determine what building materials will need to be used and how much structural support the building needs.  He/She will also explain how to turn the blueprints into a commercial building.

A COMMERCIAL GENERAL CONTRACTOR YOU CAN TRUST

It’s a no-brainer to see why experienced commercial building companies like CBI are key players when it comes to creating the perfect construction blueprints. It is important to have experts who have years of experience creating building plans and blueprints.

ACQUIRING PROPER PERMITS: THE IMPORTANCE OF AN EXPERIENCED GENERAL CONSTRUCTION FIRM

If you’re like many North Carolina business owners, you know from experience that acquiring a permit for a commercial building is not only legal, it’s the right thing to do. Having a building permit secures your building in process, so that it is constructed with quality work, will withstand natural elements, and is safer for patrons. Permits also come into play for insurance claims should you need them.

When it comes to commercial building projects, it is recommended that you have your builder acquire the permits necessary. Should a contractor say you can “keep costs low” and get the permits yourself, they could have a shady reputation they’re trying to hide.  A contractor in good standing will remain transparent and have no problem acquiring it themselves. If the contractor is part of an experienced construction firm like CBI that’s even better.

THE COMMERCIAL BUILDING COMPANY IS IN CHARGE OF HANDLING RISKS

Any person or party who applies for and obtains a building permit takes the responsibility of completing the project. When you have an experienced and professional construction building company that knows its way around building codes, you can rest knowing that the job will get done the right way at the right time.  Whether anything comes up along the way from plumbing, electrical, structural, wiring, sound barriers, or anything else — an experienced contractor will be able to handle the unexpected that may pop up.

LESS TIME TO PROCESS PERMITS

When working with a commercial builder, they speak on your behalf and there is less time to process permits.  A knowledgeable contractor can streamline the process to get plans approved much faster while still maintaining quality designs. As professionals in the trade, they’ll save the hassle of trying to do it all on your own.

PLANS COME PERMIT-READY

When you’re working with a commercial builder, the designer and contractor work with you to draw up the plans and conduct follow-up meetings from concept to completion.  Because of this setup, the designs are more cohesive and structural integrity is always in the forefront. The contractors are the ones who will know which plans are more likely to be approved for permits than others, saving valuable time on a project.

It’s a no-brainer to see why experienced Commercial Building Companies like CBI are key players in handling the proper permits for construction. We are not only a one-stop-shop for your structural and design needs but also your advocate who will go to bat for you with any other parties involved in the construction process.

Why Commercial Building Is The Right Choice For You

Business owners considering commercial construction in North Carolina face significant challenges, should they decide to negotiate the process alone. Construction management for projects of any size requires experience and years of experience to handle unforeseen obstacles.

A business owner can hire many subcontractors in order to piece together a project. However, this can bring about unanticipated issues such as — design flaws, work stoppages, and delays which often drive up costs. Bear in mind, no one can occupy a proposed space until a project is completed and passes inspection. That’s why CBI delivers North Carolina construction services that help developers and business owners complete projects on time and within budget.

When working with an experienced construction firm like CBI, you can be certain that your project will follow a general timeline, stick to a budget and you will be given the very best options for materials.

THE ROLE OF A GENERAL CONTRACTOR

As experienced commercial building general contractors, the team has the ability to completely oversee a project. Construction management in North Carolina often requires rigorous oversight of expenditures, scheduling, and coordination between local officials.

These are important moving parts that a commercial general contractor manages:

  •   Pre-Construction: Before ground-breaking, a quality construction company takes a comprehensive review of the blueprints, building codes, budget, and potential issues. An experienced commercial general contracting company can take this information and potentially eliminate problems early on in order to stay on budget and time.
  •   Materials: A construction contractor guarantees that all subcontractors have all of the materials they need for each project. An experienced general contractor knows if/when to substitute materials, if necessary.
  •   Subcontractors: One of the roles of a general contractor is to manage and oversee subcontractors on a project.  It is the main role to make sure that a project stays on course, budget and time and managing the subcontractors for electric, plumbing, cement and anything else to avoid any delays.
  •   Logistics: Currently a large issue facing construction contractors is supply chain delays.  Items can come from any area in the country and weather or shipping can cause delays. Staying on top of logistics is a role of the general contractor.

Working with a seasoned commercial general contractor avoids delays, keeping the project on time and budget.

TYPICAL PROJECT OF COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTORS

It is often asked when it is good to bring a construction contractor on to manage a building project.  It is best to engage a commercial construction firm early in order to avoid problems. One of the integral reasons that some projects fall into bankruptcy is the lack of determined oversight. CBI is a leading commercial general contracting company in North Carolina that investors have worked with in the following capacities:

  •   Office building construction
  •   Hospital construction contractors
  •   School construction
  •   Church construction
  •   Manufacturing building contractor
  •   Design builders & design build contractors

Choose The Right Flooring
By admin Commercial Building • Construction • Fayetteville • General Contractors • Renovation 0 Comments

COMMERCIAL BUILDS – HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT FLOORING

When you walk into a business, do you take the time to notice the flooring?  You probably only do if there is a problem or if it is a crazy color.

When planning a project, it is important to choose the right flooring that can last many years. You want to make sure the flooring can withstand the commercial day-to-day foot traffic and be easy to maintain; all while staying within the project budget. Additionally – it is important to remember that different areas may require a different type of flooring.

When working with an experienced construction firm like CBI, you can be certain that your project will follow a general timeline, stick to budget and you will be given the very best options for materials. Here is a list of things to consider when choosing the right flooring for your project.

FUNCTION AND SPACE

When figuring out the best flooring, one of the most important factors to consider is how the space will be used. If the space will have a great deal of foot traffic, it is important that the flooring is durable and easy to maintain.  For apartments, hotels, and restaurants, the flooring that you choose should be able to withstand spills and stains in addition to the heavy foot traffic. However, medical facilities need durable flooring that can withstand foot traffic, rolling equipment, beds, and can be easily cleaned. The function of the space will greatly determine whether the flooring can withstand the intended use and help with choosing the materials.

MAINTENANCE

Many commercial facilities require a hard floor surface for easy maintenance.  However, some buildings do need carpeting. Carpet can require more maintenance for cleaning — but there are some good options when it comes to. Some hard floor options require more maintenance beyond sweeping and mopping — some need to be buffed or waxed.

There are flooring options for any maintenance level you are looking for.  It is important to know your budget and then decide what is important for you as far as maintenance and upkeep for your floors. 

BUDGET AND FINANCING

Flooring can easily become your highest expense in your commercial build if not planned out.  You want to make sure you set the budget at the beginning, choose the look, maintenance level, and durability. 

That said, durable, attractive flooring can often come at a premium price, and your ideal option may not work with the project’s budget. Consider how much money is available for your flooring and let it guide you when selecting your materials.

FLOOR OPTIONS

When it comes to flooring options it can become overwhelming as there are many types available to choose from. These include solid wood, engineered hardwood, terrazzo, laminate wood, luxury vinyl tile, modular carpet tile, epoxy, and quarry tile — and more.

All options are relatively durable and low maintenance; however, they each have their own advantages and disadvantages that will impact your facility in their own way.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT FLOORING

Flooring is something that takes careful consideration in any construction project.  It is a considerable investment and is meant to last for many years. Choosing the wrong kind of flooring may end up in expensive maintenance or replacement costs in a few short years.

CBI can help advise you of your choices and options that make the most sense for your specific project needs and budget.

COMMON QUESTIONS WHEN HIRING A CONTRACTOR

When planning a commercial building project, it is important that you are working with the best general contractor. An outstanding contractor ensures that a project is up to standard, on time, and within budget. Choosing a leading commercial contractor isn’t as easy as picking a name from search engine results.

When working with an experienced construction firm like CBI, you can be sure that your project will be up to standard at completion, on time and within budget. Here are the most common questions to ask when deciding who will be your commercial construction contractor.

DO YOU HAVE PROOF OF LICENSE AND INSURANCE?

No matter the size of the project — proper licensure and insurance is vital. Without these documents, your property and organization are at a significant financial risk. It is important to take time to ensure the name on the license is the same as on the contract and that the license number is also listed. Additionally important, is to make sure that the insurance is enough to cover the scope of the project.

WHAT IS YOUR METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION?

Understanding how your commercial building contractor plans to handle communications is the key to a successful and efficient project. Throughout the process, there will be questions and changes made. The contractor needs to thoroughly communicate about issues and changes. Most importantly, they need to communicate with the builders and the team.

WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES?

Experienced commercial building contractors have a list of problems that may arise before starting any project. They are able to use this knowledge to tell you what challenges they anticipate with your project in the planning stage. This allows you to know what to expect in the building process as well as build report with the contractor and trust their knowledge.

PREFERRED CONTRACT DELIVERY METHOD?

How the contractor estimates the cost of the project and how they prefer to be paid is what is meant by contract delivery method. This can happen in three ways:

Fixed Price or Lump Sum – The contractor provides a final/full payment amount without the breakdown for each individual cost. The caveat with this method is that if the project is completed under budget, the contractor keeps the remaining balance.

Cost Plus – This sum includes the total cost of the work plus overhead and profit. With cost plus, the contractor makes more if he goes over budget.

Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMAX) – With GMAX, the contractor shows the breakdown of costs. This method ensures the project will not go over budget, and if it does, the contractor pays for it out of pocket. In the event, the project comes under budget, the savings are split between the contractor and owner.

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE LOOK LIKE?

North Carolina construction services can vary in final completion dates due to many reasons. It is important to ask your construction contractor about key milestones as well as the expected completion date.  Additionally, another consideration to ask is how a plan will be updated when a task does not go according to plan or timeline.  What will move in the timeline or what deadlines may shift?

AN OVERVIEW: STAGES OF CONSTRUCTION IN COMMERCIAL BUILDING

Construction of any kind is a very detail-oriented process. If you are constructing a school, medical facility, or office building there are steps that must be taken to ensure the safety of construction workers, and users of the completed building. While permits, licenses and specifications vary with each project the general order of operations remains the same.

When working with an experienced construction firm like Commercial Build Inc. (CBI), you can be sure that your project will follow this general timeline, handle any scope of project and be completed in a timely manner. Here is a general overview of the stages of construction and what can be expected at each stage. 

CONCEPT AND DESIGN

The beginning of every construction project is concept and design.  Starting first with a concept, followed by a design and blueprints. This can be done with the help of an experienced architect to make sure everything is structurally sound and up-to-code. We take great care working with our clients to ensure that each building will suit their needs and continue to for years to come.

OBTAINING BUILDING PERMITS AND LICENSES

Once the blueprints and construction plans are finalized, the next step is to obtain the correct building and construction permits. This process is not always complete immediately and will be ongoing throughout the construction project. Some permits are needed to obtain different permits at different times. Working with an experienced construction company such as CBI helps this process. Our experience in obtaining the proper permits at the right time helps our process in a timely manner.

CLEARING THE LAND AND FOUNDATION

After you have the initial building permits, your construction project will begin by clearing and excavating the land you want to build. Clearing includes removing any trees, rocks, and/or other obstacles that are in the way of the building. This also includes any leveling or grading the ground that is necessary.

Once the land has been cleared and excavated, the foundation can be poured. Depending on the size of your building and the stability of the land, preparing the subsurface may need to be done prior to the foundation being poured.

FRAMING

Once the foundation has been poured and cured, framing begins on your building. This may include installing wood frames or steel beams. This process does take a while and it is important that everything is done correctly so that it is structurally sound. This stage sets the groundwork upon which all the other aspects of your building will follow.

ROUGH ELECTRICAL AND PLUMBING

After a building has been framed out, a specialty contractor will come in to complete rough electrical and plumbing. This means that pipes and wires are installed where they need to go. This job is not completed at this point, however, it helps to get the rough work in place so that insulation, drywall, and ceilings can go in.

ROOF

Concurrently with the rough electrical and plumbing work, roofers come in to complete the roof on the building. This is important so that any further work inside of the building can take place, due to rain and outdoor elements damaging the work in the remaining steps.

INTERIOR

Once the exterior walls and roof are complete, the heating and cooling needs are addressed. Vents, ductwork and the heating and cooling unit are all installed. 

As soon as the heating and cooling is complete, the interior is completed. This includes finishing insulation, putting up drywall and adding ceilings. An electrician often comes out during this stage and finishes up adding outlets and lighting fixtures. 

Once the interior walls are up, the fixtures inside of a space can be finalized. This includes things like cabinets, windows, toilets, doors and elevators (if an office building).

FINAL STAGE

The final stage of construction involves putting the finishing touches on the building. This involves painting walls, installing countertops and flooring, and adding faucets.  Once this stage is done, you will have a final inspection and you will have a beautiful building to last many years.

RENOVATE, REMODEL, OR REBUILD? WHICH ONE IS BEST FOR YOUR OLDER BUILDING?

If you have an older building you may be learning that it is no longer energy efficient or you are running into other issues as it ages.  It may be starting to be worn down, be out of building or fire codes, or not meeting your business needs.  If the time has come to decide what to do to ensure it remains functional, useful and atheistically pleasing — how will you decide what to do — renovate, remodel or rebuild? 

Many people are not aware of the differences in these three options or which is right for them. CBI can help explain the differences and help you make the best decision.

RENOVATION

A renovation is when the building is restored to a good state. Renovating is the least invasive choice out of the three options. When renovating, it typically involves small fixes to a building that help to repair and improve the overall aesthetic of the building.

Renovation may be the best choice for you if the building is in need of repairs, such as patching drywall and updating paint, replacing or updating floors,  or updating electrical work. When you renovate, the overall design and layout remains unchanged and only the building is repaired and updated with a new “face” to be in good working order. Renovations are generally undertaken to enhance the functionality of a space or to increase the resale value.

REMODEL

A remodel consists of changing the layout or structure of the building.  The structure of the space may change, walls may move or the layout/flow of the building is changed.

Some examples of remodel projects are:

  •   Fully transforming the structure or layout of a commercial space
  •   Creating space needed that is in compliance for COVID-19

If your building is older and is not ADA or COVID compliant, remodeling the structure may be needed to ensure it meets code and is safe for occupants.  Additionally if you have an office building and it is older and was designed to have smaller offices but now you need a larger layout, remodeling can help move walls and have a move open floor plan.

REBUILDING

Rebuilding consists of tearing down the existing building and constructing a new one.  This is the most costly choice of the three options.

When remodeling or renovating become more costly that rebuilding, that makes rebuilding the best option.  Additionally if the building itself is no longer structurally sound, it may be best to tear it down.  If you want to change every aspect about the building, or change the size of the building, removing the current building and rebuilding becomes the obvious choice.

FITTING YOUR NEEDS

If you have an older building that is in need of new life with improved functionality, or to be compliant with building regulations, CBI can help you. CBI can help you decide

whether to renovate, remodel, or rebuild with design, administrative, project supervision, project management and expert technical services. With a team of general contractors, construction managers, and engineers, we can help you with your construction project no matter the scope.

COMMERCIAL BUILDING, RENOVATION, & REMODELING – WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE?

Before you hire a construction contractor in North Carolina for commercial building, it is important to know exactly what type of construction services you need. Not all builders and construction contractors are alike; some specialize in design builds while others might specialize in medical centers or doctors offices. There are a great number of differences and a reason to understand them.

You need to know exactly what you want when hiring a construction company in North Carolina. The following is a look at the most common types of projects and the differences between them:

COMMERCIAL BUILDING

Commercial building is just how it sounds – building a new building from scratch. While it sounds simple, commercial construction is the most complex due to the steps in the process – planning, hiring, and completing.

With commercial building there five phases that you will undertake:

  1. Hire the primary architect/designer
  2. Choose the commercial builder
  3. Write and execute contracts
  4. Construction process
  5. Completion and handover

In order to hire one company for all phases, you will need commercial construction contractors who advertise as design build contractors. This designation explains that they have both the architects to design a new construction and the team to see that design through completion.

RENOVATION

A commercial renovation project is one that aims to restore or repair an existing construction. This type of construction project makes old look new again. Renovations are generally undertaken to enhance the functionality of a space or to increase the resale value.

A church that is restored to what it originally looked like can offer immediate value for congregants. Renovating the space to include modern conveniences or space in a time of COVID-19, make it more appealing. 

REMODELING

A commercial remodel one that goes beyond changing the decor in an office building. Generally defined, a commercial remodel project is one that will permanently alter an existing structure’s interior, exterior, or both.

Some examples of remodel projects:

  •   Combining multiple rooms into one space by removing a wall or other type of barrier
  •   Adding to the interior or exterior of a building, such as adding an inside garden or creating multiple rooms from one large, existing space
  •   Fully transforming the structure or layout of a commercial space
  •   Creating space needed that is in compliance for COVID-19

FITTING YOUR NEEDS

While there is an inherent value in hiring a commercial contractor who has a speciality in one of the types of projects, it is best to look for one who has experience in all overall.  The more well-rounded a contractor is, the better they can assist you in determining what best suits your construction goals.

WHY IT PAYS TO RENOVATE YOUR MEDICAL FACILITY

Renovating your medical facility is important as the layout may be outdated or no longer work, your facility may need to be changed for COVID, or you may need to update for energy efficiency. If you are looking to renovate your existing medical facility, it is beneficial to hire a construction company with experience building medical facilities.

Here are some of the ways that a construction company can benefit you when you are ready to renovate your medical facility.

THEY DRAW UP THE PLANS TO CHANGE THE LAYOUT

A construction company has the expertise for creating plans or blueprints for a new layout. Sometimes changing a layout is not as simple as it may appear and you cannot just tear down any wall or post. If you tear down any load-bearing structures, the weight of your building may not be supported. An experienced construction team can look at your building and build plans to change the layout without causing problems or structural issues in the future.

RECOMMENDATION OF PRODUCTS IDEAL FOR MEDICAL FACILITIES

Especially in 2021, you want materials that are easy to clean, durable, and that do not hold germs and bacteria. Items such as stainless steel and certain types of stone are ideal, as they are resistant to germ and bacteria growth. A reputable general contractor company with experience in the medical industry knows what products to recommend and why these products are a good fit.

ALWAYS STICK TO BUDGET

Renovating a building will not profit your business if you spend more than your budget for the project. Once your budget is set, a construction company can work to stay within that budget. They oversee the entire project, from the concept to completion. They take steps to make sure to stay within your budget, by suggesting and selecting materials and hiring contractors that fit within the scope.

STAY WITHIN TIMELINE

Depending on what is being renovated you may shut down the entire facility during the renovation process. It is important to know when the project will be completed so you can begin to book appointments again. An experienced construction company will oversee the project and hire contractors to ensure that the project is completed on or before the date agreed to.
