  No matter what class your building falls under, BE Builds has the years of expertise and resources available to   upgrade your commercial office building in NJ . However, it first helps to understand how your building is classified, so you can better understand the types of construction services you will need for your commercial office buildout project. Here’s a brief guide to the different classes of commercial office buildings, what these classifications mean, and why they’re important. Why Building Classifications Matter The process of classifying your commercial space focuses on factors like the age of the building, the amenities offered, location, design aesthetic, and infrastructure. This information is used by commercial real estate brokers to determine how much a space should be rented out for and other elements of the lease agreement. It is also an important factor in determining what upgrades should be prioritized and how this could impact future classification and...

  One positive outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic is that there is a renewed sense of importance placed on office hygiene and safety that starts at the very beginning of the   office design and construction process . Many industry experts are evaluating popular layouts like the Open Plan Office and figuring out how to make these layouts work safely and successfully in a post-COVID-19 workplace. Here are some ways in which our office contractors at BE Builds can construct a commercial office space that maximizes the health of your valued employees. A Healthy Workplace – Old Concept, New Ideas First, it’s important to note that a healthy office is not anything new.

  Whether you’re opening a single office location or planning many, the cost of a commercial buildout is arguably the most critical concern to address when getting started. The cost of an  office buildout  will vary depending on the age and type of building systems, existing conditions of the space, the type of business occupying the space, local permitting requirements, the quality and types of materials being used, just to name a few. Here, we will take a look at the major cost factors to consider before construction begins on your new commercial office space. #1 – Building Space Type The first factor to consider is the building and space you are planning to remodel. These are generally categorized into two types by the office construction services industry – second-generation (second-gen) spaces and shell spaces. Second-gen spaces are the most common, as they’re spaces that have been used for business before by a previous tenant. Typically, these spaces are more afford...

  Office buildouts can be fairly complex projects, with multiple elements coming together in a set sequence in order to deliver a workspace on time and on budget. From signing the lease and designing the space, to the different elements of an office fit-out and, finally, the office move itself, it’s all about effective timeline management.  The team at BE Builds  has delivered exceptional quality, custom office fit-outs for many years, and we understand the stress that comes with this type of project. Here’s our guide on how to best manage these timelines. Step #1 – Design As soon as you have access to the space, it’s time to get office architects onsite to get a feel for the property. After assessing the location, they should have a sound understanding of what you want to achieve with the finished result, and what’s feasible within the space and budget. This kicks off the design process that’s fundamental to realizing a truly productive workspace that represents your bra...

  In the aftermath of the pandemic, many companies are rethinking the size, function and location of their office space. When redesigning your office space, it’s not just about creating a practical and attractive space that reflects your brand – it’s also about strategically positioning your office for the current and future work environment. For the  commercial office construction  specialists at BE Builds, this means focusing your future office strategy on something we call “Hubs.” This strategic trend is suited to companies of all sizes who have realized that maybe everyone doesn’t have to be in the office at all times, and that with some creative scheduling, office spaces can be re-tasked and reinvented, giving your business the ability to fit into smaller spaces with smaller co-resident teams. Here’s some insight into how BE Builds is working with companies all over the New York area to help them understand how hubs will fit into their future office strategy. The Hub...
