Many professionals working in various fields such as law, dentistry, medicine, optometry, or health and beauty reach a certain point in their career where they make the decision to start their own business for further advancement.  The easy part is finding a commercial location that has the amount of space for your needs and a good price per square foot.  However, the real challenge becomes finding the right general contracting company to work with. Although rewarding in the end, it takes time to find a like-minded interior designer who will help you design and renovate this new space without breaking the bank, while respecting your budget and your aspirations. 

What most Clients don’t realize is, commercial tenant improvement costs can include unnecessary fees and one of the biggest areas of concern can be with the specifications at the drawing stage.  Costly features and certain industry brands may be incorporated that the Architect or Designer is familiar with for style, but not necessarily the pricing for same.  With that being said and when it comes time to render the drawings for construction, these specifications can increase your actual cost of construction tenfold.   Aside from this, you also need to account for costs on equipment necessary for your practice, and soon enough you have maxed out (or you have exceeded your lending limit), and that can leave you feeling deflated.

Unless you are well versed in the construction industry, a Client wouldn’t realize the importance of a general commercial contractor from the beginning.  Moreover, one who understands construction costs, one who knows cost-effective alternatives without compromising on the Client and Designers overall vision and design, and one who will keep your best interests including your pocketbook, in mind.
