Your office space can be a direct reflection of your business. When you first opened it, the space may have felt revolutionary, sheik and stylish. But, as all things do, times have changed. What was in style 30 years ago may not be the same. You’re not alone, many major businesses have had to change their image.

After you’ve determined it’s time for a fresh new look, then comes another major decision – do you renovate or go the new construction route? This isn’t an easy decision to make. You may have an attachment to your current building, or you may have a desire to start from the ground up. The Maryville commercial construction experts at Leon Williams Contractors are here to help you make that decision.

Here are a couple of ways to determine if renovating your office space is right for you:

What’s your budget

Construction projects are rarely a cheap venture. There are plenty of moving parts, and the total cost reflects that. When planning for the project, keep a close eye on your budget. One positive thing renovations have over new builds is the price tag. Renovations are typically more cost-effective and allow you to customize your space without starting from scratch. You can determine which materials and finishes you want while also increasing the overall value of the office space in the event you want to sell it later. If you have a strict budget, renovation is likely the best route for you.

What’s your timeline

Another question you may want to ask when determining if renovating is the right decision for you is the overall timeline of your project. When looking at renovations, they are often much quicker to complete than new builds. In many cases, if you plan accordingly, you can continue working while the renovations are going on. Since you are not starting from the ground level, many of the building elements can be integrated into the renovation process. In addition, your clients already know where you are located, so there won’t be a need for them to transition to a new building or address. If a shortened timeline sounds great to you, then a renovation is the proper choice.
