Tenant Improvements for your Business

July 14, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

We seem to be moving in a direction where everything is customizable and we can get services delivered that are to our exact specifications. The same notion should be applicable to the way you run and operate your business. If you have just taken over a new lease in a new place of business, you may need to add some improvements before conducting business.  This can include a new line of sinks if you just opened a salon, a new counter or workspace for a business, or a whole revamping of the area.

Whatever the job entails, know the experts for tenant improvements are just a phone call away. Silicon X Construction specializes in tenant improvements and we make sure our clients get the best. Whether it’s a major project that requires a large budget and a fair amount of work, or something small that can be taken care of in a few days, we are ready to handle your tenant improvement needs.

Different types of tenant improvements include:

  • Major Improvements- If you take over a business space, and the previous business wasn’t geared toward your industry in the slightest, then it’s probably time for a major overhaul. This can include taking out current fixtures and adding new ones, or putting in other trade fixtures to make your office work. This will set your business up for the future and get you started on the right foot.
  • Medium Improvements- Because there is always a middle ground, there is also ground between a major tenant improvement and a minor tenant improvement. This can include coming in and doing a job to a space with no existing fixtures. This can also mean adding new fixtures to existing fixtures, without the need of having to take out any existing components. This is true when certain fixtures already work where they are.
  • Minor Improvements- These are the types of improvements that can be made within a couple of days that don’t require taking out any existing fixtures. If you need a new sink put in, a new counter put in place, or something else that can be considered minor, we can specialize in that activity. The budget for minor jobs tend to be a lot lower than extensive jobs, and may save you some much needed cash.

Whatever the job you choose or need for your business, you’re in good hands with Silicon X Construction.

Great Office Remodel Tips

July 7, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

We can all benefit from a change in life from time to time. The great thing is that not all change needs to be significant to have an impact on our productivity and how we interact at the office. When we talk about office remodeling, we’re talking about a space that you do most of your work in. When you realize that you spend a lot of your time in your office, it may become more and more apparent how badly needed office remodels are needed sometimes.

But getting a project like that off the ground by yourself can be daunting. It’s a great idea to call in the experts for a job like an office remodel. The reasons for this are numerous, but the main idea is that an expert handling the job will be able to get it done right the first time. This will save you both time and money if you assume that you will need to go back and touch up any of the work you’ve already done.

Some great tips for remodeling the office include:

 

  • Tackle the Workspace– Your workspace is important because that’s where you typically spend most of your time when at work. This should be an environment that keeps you productive and sane while plugging away long hours. That’s why it may be first thing you want to remodel. Using whites and other colors that aren’t too distracting may help in keeping you productive.
  • The Common Space– This is a place where your employees gather for meetings or take a break. This space should elicit a comfortable feeling, as this is where you go to get away from the workload for a minute or two. When remodeling the common space, you should keep in mind that it should work for everyone. A too specific of a style may not be the best for this area so keep the design simple and accommodating for everyone.
  • The Kitchen– Employees get hungry, so make sure they have a great and efficient place to make some lunch. The kitchen should be able to support multiple people in it at one time comfortably. That is what makes the kitchen different at the office than at home. While a kitchen remodel at work may not be at the top of your priorities, it can certainly add a much needed improvement to any office.

If you are contemplating an office remodel, call the experts at Silicon X Construction!

Top Considerations for Building Changes – Budget for Your Project

June 25, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

Interior and Exterior Needs

PlansOlder buildings will require more changes than a new construction. Overtime it will be necessary to do renovations. Making critical changes inside the building is all about visual appeal. It is important to attract customers and clients for your business. Painting, lighting and plumbing projects are regular ones done inside a building. It may be necessary to do work on the exterior of the building. Parking lots are just one area that plays a role in operations. Your contractor can redesign this space for efficiency.

Structural Repairs

Structural repairs are some of the most costly changes to a building. These are issues that can be found both inside and outside. Wiring is one of the components that may need attention. This is an issue that should not be ignored. There could be a disaster risk if problems arise or persist. An experienced contractor will be able to address this problem along with any construction for other structural repairs.
