Cosmetic Changes

Older buildings can benefit from having some cosmetic changes. This is a way to maintain the appearance of the overall structure. Cosmetic changes can range the gambit but are effective to attracting customers. It is cheaper to perform these changes than to do a complete overhaul of construction. There were more than 200,000 buildings constructed in 2012. Included in this number were commercial properties of various sorts. Painting, picture hangings and furniture rearrangement are economic options for transforming the interior of a building.

Regular maintenance gives businesses many options for their operations.

Tenant Improvements and Major Renovations for your Business

By

TI-1There are many things a business can do to try and increase sales, boost profitability, or become more successful all around. When growth does occur, many businesses aren’t prepared to meet the physical demands of their newly acquired business. This has to do with the literal space the business is operating in, which can many times be outgrown within a few years.

This is especially true for businesses that are successful right away. The amount of growth they experience may be something that they’re not used to and space may run out rather quick. That’s why it’s important to have a backup plan in place for businesses that are growing, to ensure that they can meet the demands of the market and add on space if necessary.

Different types of renovations and tenant improvements include:

  • Adding more space– When the orders start coming in and you need to upgrade your facility, then a lot of times you have the option of either moving to a new place or adding on to your existing area. If zoning allows it, it can be a much cheaper option to add more space to your existing situation. Get help with an addition to your business and handle all the new business coming in.
  • Major commercial overhauls– If your business is looking to spice up the office or rebrand itself, it may be time for a major commercial overhaul. The services we offer range from small to enormous, and can tackle a variety of styles or needs. Get that front reception area looking like it belongs in your business.
  • Ground-up construction– If your business decides that it needs to move entirely to a new location because of various reasons, we also offer ground up construction that can build something from scratch. Ground up construction is the most convenient way to get something built as it encompasses land acquisition, purchasing lots, and building the actual structure.

If you’re ready for that tenant improvement in your building, don’t hesitate to call the team at Silicon X Construction!

The Basics of Facilities Maintenance

By

mx1Running a business is hard work. If you’ve ever been in charge of operations and maintenance of a business or a facility of a business, you can definitely appreciate that there are times when routine maintenance and upkeep are required. General upkeep of a business is one of those tasks that may get swept under the rug or taken care of by a third party that the majority of employees or members of staff don’t think about.

Facilities maintenance is essentially keeping your warehouse, office building, or any other area where you’re performing work up to code, clean, and fixed up. This is very important for a number of factors, especially to maintain a healthy and safe working environment for your employees. It also is something that doesn’t need to be done by you. There are competent third parties that are able to handle this so you don’t need to worry about it.

Facilities maintenance includes:

  • 24-hour support– We know that things can happen at any time during the day or night. That’s why feel it’s important to offer 24/7 support when it comes to facilities maintenance. Some things just can’t wait until morning, and when those things happen, it’s nice to have someone to call.
  • Building Repairs– Depending on what type of industry you’re in, there may be lots of damage done to your building as your employees are going about their normal workdays. Things certainly happen from day to day, and you shouldn’t have to be stuck with something that is broken for an extended period of time. We can handle any building repairs that you may need.
  • Roof Cleaning– Sometime there are just some areas that you don’t even consider cleaning when you’re in the process of running a business.

Remodeling Ideas for your Business

By

TI-1If you are currently running a business, or you are a part owner of a business, there are several things to consider at any given time. Taking care of expenses, marketing, and the daily operation of the business are all very important. You are also making sure to stay profitable and grow to increase sales. Doing so is certainly easier said than done, but the ultimate goal as a business is to survive and stay profitable.

If your business is currently in a brick and mortar location, then there is an added amount of pressure to look and feel like the brand you are promoting. If a potential customer walks into your establishment and immediately doesn’t want to do business with your company, there is definitely something wrong. Make sure your business location represents you and be proud to show it off to potential customers.

Areas that may need a commercial renovation include:

  • The reception area– The front area of your business is where first impressions are made to anyone walking into your business. This area definitely needs to match your brand and look good for potential clients. That’s why a renovation here may be key and the first thing to consider if you’re trying to class up your location.
  • The conference room– After a client is introduced to the company in the reception area, they may move on to the conference room. If this is the case, you’ll need to make sure this area matches the entire feel of the business as well. Having the right feel and right look to the conference room can be very important in terms of conveying your brand accurately.
  • The employee area– One of the last areas you may need to look at when talking about remodeling is the employee area. This is where the majority of the work gets done, so this needs to be functional and be conducive to team work. While your clients don’t necessarily see this area, your employees may work better in a work friendly environment.

Commercial renovations are a good idea for business of any size and any stage in their life cycle. If you’re need to freshen or liven up the office, a renovation can accomplish just that.

Hiring a Professional vs. Doing it Yourself

By

renov2You may fancy yourself a handyman capable of handling some big projects when it comes to renovating or adding on space to an existing business or home. While this may certainly be true, there’s nothing quite like hiring a professional to do the job for you right the first time. There are many benefits that are associated with hiring a commercial contractor for the next renovation to your business, much of which will save you the actual time of getting your project off the ground.

We agree that there is a certain level of satisfaction that is obtained from completing a project by yourself. But the actual time and resources needed to do the job, and do it right, sometimes far outweigh the desire to do the job. It’s also important to note that most of the time the do-it-yourself projects are done by people who already have full time jobs. Trying to complete a major project in your spare time can be really tough.

mx2The benefits of hiring a professional include:

  • Getting years of expertise– One of the great things about hiring a professional include hiring a company that performs renovations for a living. That typically means that the company has a proven track record of success and has completed a few jobs to date. Given this information, you can rest assured that the job will be done right.
  • Saving time and resources– Doing a project yourself, no matter what scope or size, is going to take quite a bit of planning. As mentioned earlier, most this comes from the free or spare time of someone who already works. The last thing someone wants to do is work in his or her spare time. That’s why hiring a commercial contractor is beneficial for everyone.
  • Getting the job done right– After spending time on a project, you just want it to be done. Imagine having to go back and fix any mistakes that were made. Hiring a professional commercial contractor for the job will eliminate this as any reputable company will stand by their work and make sure it gets done right the first time.

While it can certainly be fun at times to pursue a project by yourself, the bottom line is that it doesn’t compare with calling in the pros to handle it.
