There are a plethora of tasks that go into commercial real estate development. However, before any work can begin, a design plan must be in place. Here are the basic steps that must be taken if you want to have a successful building design. 

How to Create a Commercial Real Estate Design

1. Hire an Architect & Interior Designer

A key step in effectively planning for any commercial building is to hire the right team. Professional designers will create floor plans that consider the work the company performs and determines which materials will best serve these layouts and budget. Your team will also be essential for obtaining necessary permits in the future.

2. Choose a Site Location

Before you can break ground, select an ideal location for the future building. This shouldn't be entirely dependent on your budget, but should first meet your business goals and needs. Consider everything from the ground level and nearby neighbors to building restriction laws and connecting roads and utilities. 

3. Determine Land to Building Ratio

Once you have selected the right land, determine approximately how much square footage your building can occupy. Depending on your specific industry, parking and green space might be necessary. The building might have to be designed with height in mind instead of width to have the correct space allotment for these features.

4. Refine the Designs

After the site has been thoroughly evaluated, and all goals of the building have been determined, the designer will work with your general contractor to optimize the final design plans. This will consider all parameters from the installation of utilities to the final furniture placement. The architect will also consult with specialists to determine whose expertise will be needed to bring the blueprints to life.
