Remodeling Ideas for your Business

May 12, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

TI-1 If 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

May 5, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

renov2 You 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.

mx2 The 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.

Choosing the Best Contractor for the Job

April 28, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

No one wants to have a job done wrong or halfway. The point of hiring the best contractor for the job means hiring the best company with the best reputation. When all of this is factored in, pricing and estimates make the final decision on whether you will be working a certain company over another company. With the numerous contractors that exist, it can sometimes be difficult to choose the right one for the right job.

Enter the skilled professionals from Silicon X Construction. We offer a variety of different types of work, most notably commercial construction for businesses looking for tenant improvement, renovations, or complete ground up construction. While we certainly are highly skilled in what we offer, it will be up to the business owner to make the decision to work with us based on a number of different factors.

When choosing a construction company for your next project, complete the following:

Do the Initial Research– There are many different ways to do research, but more often than not, this is now done online. This means perusing sites like Yelp and Angie’s List and doing an old fashioned Google search to find the best available contractors or builders in your area.
Ask for Referrals– Once you have some initial research done and out of the way, it’s time to start honing in on the company that you want to use. A good way to get an even better understanding of your proposed builders is to ask for testimonies and referrals from people who have worked with them before. This will give you valuable insight into the company you’re potentially choosing.
Get Estimates– Another important factor to consider is price. While price shouldn’t be the only determining factor on whether or not you’ll be working with a particular company, it’s certainly important with all other things being equal. That’s why gathering accurate estimates can be crucial in choosing the right builder for the right job.
Make the Decision– When everything you have set out to discover has been found out, that is when the actual decision is made to work with a particular company. This is obviously the last step in choosing a company, but is the first step in getting the ball rolling on your project.

If you have put adequate time into choosing the right company to work with, then your experience getting your project completed should be simple!

April 14, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

TI-1 If you have thought about that new office renovation for quite some time, then it might actually be time to start getting the new project underway. Renovations just happen to be exactly what Silicon X Construction specializes in, and we can get you pointed in the right direction in terms of where to start. We are skilled in taking existing buildings or spaces and creating something that looks brand new.

This can include new flooring, new lighting, and anything you can imagine to make the space better. Silicon X is there to get the ball rolling and offer the expertise you have come to expect from a world class construction company.

What happens in a typical renovation?

Choosing the Contractor– This is the first step in getting the ball rolling on your new renovation project—after you make the decision to get started of course. Choosing the right contractor for the job requires many different elements, most notably reputation, price, and timeline.
Getting an Estimate– After you have chosen your contractor, the next step will be to go over what needs to be done and getting an estimate. Sometimes this goes hand in hand with choosing a contractor, as the estimate may actually be the deciding factor on who you choose to work with. Whichever way you choose, make sure you get a legit estimate for your project.
Breaking Ground– Once you get all of the necessary details taken care of in terms of who will be doing the project and how much it will cost, you can take a step back and watch the pros handle the work. This is a particularly exciting part of the project as this is when things start happening and you can watch the transformation.
Walk Through and Approval– The moment everyone has been waiting for is the final approval stage where you get to see the finished product. This is where business owners who envisioned their new space get to see their vision come to life. Of course, if anything isn’t up to par, it will be fixed as soon as possible.

Are you ready to get that renovation started? We know we’re eager to help you get there!
