Whether you move from a home office, a virtual business or a co-working space to now enjoy a storefront of your own in the "Big World", the opening of your first commercial premises represents a major step in the development of your business.

While this adds some levels of complexity compared to what you've been through so far, the benefits of presenting a business location to your clients are obvious. When you'll be ready to take action, here's what we've got for you.

Choose your local

After determining a city and neighborhood that meets your needs, look for properties with A vacant space that is large enough to meet your needs and at a price that fits your budget. Make sure the space you choose will actually work to shape your business needs. It's even better if you can find one that will have room for expansion as well!

Imagine your space

DIVISIONS
Usually this means that an architect or space planner will go through your local and draw the plans to make sure you can get the right layout while taking into account the external dimensions of the building. For example, if you want a large open area in the middle, a long, narrow space might not work for you.

 

MATERIALS
You need to consider the type of business your company bathes into before selecting the materials to use for the construction of your workspaces. Would you like a design at the cutting edge of fashion in interior design? Will you need fireproof products? Insulators? Sound-absorbing or acoustic panels? Antimicrobial walls and ceilings? Anti-mold? Does your business require the creation of a clean room, like a laboratory? A screening room? A gymnasium? A kitchen? A spa or a swimming pool? Do you operate with heavy and noisy machinery? Toxic or explosive products? At Projex, we have solutions to offer you, regardless of your sphere of activity.

 

ATMOSPHERE
Atmosphere is the silent language that sublimates both employees and customers. The atmosphere of a local greatly influences a company's sales, first through the employees, who appreciate their workplace and through consumers who, gaining in confidence, appreciate your professionalism and your attention to detail for things well done. The ambience, the atmosphere of a room is felt by the senses and not by a rational evaluation process. So when designing your new room, consider the colors, brightness, size and shape of your walls and ceilings. Care for soundproofing, for the acoustics of your rooms. Choose textures for your walls and ceilings: rock wool, wood, metal? We can suggest a thousand and one ways to create an atmosphere that will help you make your daily life easier and more enjoyable.

Take action

Once you confirm that the space will work for you, things will start to move forward, including the process of building divisions, partitioning the walls and installing the ceilings of your local. It will probably be necessary to review and take care to camouflage the electrical systems, surveillance cameras, technological installations and piping, among others. Together, Projex Construction, your space planner and your furniture and accessories suppliers will help you fit out and design the interior of your new space.

Get started as quickly as possible

The faster we do it, the sooner you'll be ready to start working. Ideally from the first day of your move in. Since you are about to accept a rent bill or a new mortgage, the faster you can get your business up and running, the better off you will be! At Projex Construction, we understand this and our deadlines are extremely short. We know how important every day, every hour, every minute counts for you.

Move in ... and get to work

Finally, once everything is done, you are ready to move in and start working from your new facility. While your new space gives you a new visual representation of your business, and other related benefits, it also leaves some important things unchanged. Your business should have the same customers (ready to add more!), the same mission, and the same vision.

Focus on them and who knows, soon you might be opening another new commercial space!
