Tenant Improvements and Major Renovations for your Business

May 26, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

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!

Remodeling Ideas for your Business

May 12, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

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.

Choosing the Best Contractor for the Job

April 28, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

cropped-SiliconXConstD52aR01aP01ZL-Hoover1a.jpgNo 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!

Get your New Renovation Underway

April 14, 2014 By Silicon X Construction

TI-1If 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.

There are obviously differences between new additions, tenant improvements, and renovations. Renovations are designed to use the existing space you are currently in and making it better through a series of upgrades. 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!
