As chaotic as an office remodeling project can be, most businesses have to continue operating around the construction debris and area closures. Fortunately, a contractor with a background in master planning can help keep the disruption to a minimum while they bring your vision to life. The tips below will help your office operate as smoothly as possible throughout the renovation.

How to Run Your Business With Ongoing Construction

1. Prepare Your Employees

Extensive remodeling usually means that certain parts of the office will be closed, sometimes for weeks at a time. Letting your employees know exactly when their space will be under construction gives them the chance to create an alternate plan and make adjustments to their workflow.

2. Schedule Remodeling After Hours

Contractors generally prefer to work during normal business hours, but some are willing to make other arrangements for an additional fee. Even having the workers come in after lunch will give your staff several undisturbed hours in the morning to work.

3. Invest in a Contractor With Master Planning Experience

Master planning contractors understand the importance of integrating their work into existing systems using their extensive knowledge of surveying, architecture, engineering, and interior design. Their strategic approach usually includes planning the remodel in stages, which allows you to shift your team around the building as the work progresses, so that they, nor the construction team, are in each other’s way.

4. Send Regular Updates

Not knowing where the renovation project stands can be frustrating for your employees and customers alike. Whether events are progressing smoothly or you’ve hit unexpected delays, send regular updates to everyone impacted by the ongoing work.
