It’s exciting when your business is doing well. You may even need to consider a commercial addition to house new employees and products. However, these projects are often complex. Luckily, with the help of a general contractor, you can ensure your new addition fulfills your company’s needs for years to come. Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind.

3 Tips for Business Owners Expanding Their Establishments 

1. Communicate 

Your general contractor will help you through the process of building a commercial addition. Make sure you stay in communication about potential issues, including scheduling, upfront costs, or additional fees that may arise during the project. You can facilitate this communication by having one main contact on their team keep you in the loop. This way, you can avoid confusion, delays, and legal issues. 

2. Sign a Contract 

Write a contract to make sure both parties are on the same page about their obligations, the timeline of completion, when payments are due, and what materials will be used. It’s also helpful for knowing what permits you will need to complete the project. Establishing this will make the process much smoother because it will set expectations for everyone involved. 

3. Check the License

Your general contractor should be willing and happy to show you what licenses and certifications they have. Use this as a way to discuss what type of insurance coverage they have as well. Feel free to ask for references too. By checking out their past work, you can find out if they are the right person for the project.
