Have you been looking for a commercial construction company that can help you with your next shopping center construction project? When you spend a pretty penny on an investment that you hope will give you the returns far into the future, you want to make sure that you have a professional team that has an edge on keeping your profits soaring high for the next decades. To get a better idea of how commercial builders with a shopping center focus can make a difference, check out seven ways Stovall Construction has an advantage written below.
Easily renovated retail spaces – Even a long-term retail space renter in a shopping center will eventually want to renovate, but some designs are very stubborn and expensive to change. In order to have retail space that will appeal to the vast majority of people and easily bend to their renovation demands, A good commercial construction company and designer are required. Naturally, the advantages of designing a new shopping center construction project in this way is that renters will feel that it is easier to stay at that location instead of moving because they want a new look.
A nod to future environmentalists add-ons – When you rent a commercial or retail property, you want to be able to provide flexibility with your construction project so that the renter feels they can change the building to reflect who they really are. Many businesses are incorporating a strong environmentally friendly philosophy into their corporate vision, and your building will need to be ready for any of their green requirements. For instance, in addition to having readily exposed plumbing, you may want to have a strong roof with access that can accommodate solar panels.
Disability accessibility for customers and employees – Anyone can build a ramp that goes to the entrance of a building, but few commercial builders are able to create designs that will accommodate disabled clients or customers as well as employees. Far beyond disability accessible bathrooms, there are also techniques that can be employed in the parking lot and other areas that welcome people with disabilities into a commercial or retail space. For instance, people with low vision often appreciate a bold color on the entrance area that can be used as an identifier.
Avoiding utilities loss and increasing security with lobby entrances – One of the easiest ways to get a commercial or retail property rented is to have a solid record of low utility costs. Inexperienced builders may not understand that there are certain ways to design a building to keep utilities low. For instance, using a double lobby-style entrance keeps theft low and also keeps the heating or cooling inside the building.
A better understanding of budget-saving green materials – In the past, construction materials were not scrutinized the way that they are in modern times. Toxic building materials aside, one of the main features of newer environmental philosophies is using green materials for building projects that will also save the environment by reducing the need for utilities. There are many restrictions for using anything but new construction materials, yet other aspects of green building involve new materials, but create a greener world by increasing choices. For instance, parking lots that are made from lighter materials lower the overall “heat map” of a city compared to asphalt.
Knowledge of municipality access – Unfortunately, being a popular location in a retail or commercial area means that your property could eventually need renovations from the local municipalities. In order to avoid problems in the future, buildings can be designed so that if municipalities need to do digging for construction on the property in the future for utilities, it does not completely disrupt your business. Along those lines, profit loss can be prevented from incidents with public utilities construction work by designing your building to anticipate these problems.
Making property insurance companies happy with storm shelters – There are many ways that a property insurance company will lower their premiums because of the way a commercial space is built, but one of those aspects also creates a sense of security for employees and customers. Namely, when the weather is rough, it is nice to know that there is a safety feature built inside of a local retail space. For instance, when there are tornadoes, customers will feel especially welcome at a retail business that offers a storm shelter underground. Adding to this, some property insurance companies will offer a discount for offering a storm shelter service.
