New Construction Update 321 Plaza West Maryville, Tennessee

/in /by

Recently, the Leon Williams Contractors, LLCteam recently completed work on a new office space location at the 321 Plaza in Maryville, Tennessee.

The Location:

Located at 1776 W. Lamar Alexander Parkway in Maryville, Leon Williams Contractors, LLC worked with Andes Group Tennessee to create a new office and retail space in Blount County.

The Specifications:

An addition of 2,736 square feet was constructed by the team at Leon Williams Contractors, LLC. The client request was to match the previous part of the structure seamlessly with the new addition, as well as updating the façade of the existing building. The existing building was matched to comply with city ordinances and setbacks that required the matching to existing parameters.

The Results:

In an interview with the Daily Times, Hal Brown, a representative of Andes Group Tennessee, remarked that “The new building requirements would not allow us to build anything even closely resembling what was already there. It was a challenge to put an addition on an old building and make it look like it was one building, built all together, and I think we achieved that.”

In regards to working with Leon Williams Contractors, Mr. Brown stated “I know this is probably a small project for them, just a blip on the map of what they can do, but even so they put your concerns and your project at the forefront. They made me feel like this was the only project they had and that all their assets were just direct toward my project. You would have thought I was building a mall, or the Taj Mahal.”

Leon Williams, LLC has worked with clients on a wide range of retail and commercial construction projects, including banks, medical facilities, commercial offices, residential projects, restaurants,and retail locations.

Plan Ahead

Before starting on your office renovation project, the best advice is to plan ahead for what your business is trying to accomplish. Are you designing the renovations to add staff, to offer more products and services or are you simply tired of the way that your interior looks?

Assess your current property

If your current business property is older, having the team at Leon Williams Contractors engage in a site assessmentcan help save you money in the long run. Your existing building may not be up to code, which will necessitate updating of your plans for your office renovation prior to the beginning of work. In addition, while using existing systems might save you money in your upfront costs during a renovation, your business may be better served by updating to new systems to lower long term operating costs in your renovated office space.

Determine your budget

While it may be exciting to think about all of the changes that you could implement during your office renovation, determining your budget for your office renovation can help you prevent over-extending what you want to accomplish for your business in the long term. Extensive renovations to your office space need to be prepared with your future business goals in mind, especially if you determine that growth in your business means that you move to a larger space in the future. Decide if the renovations that you are making will make your building more likely to sell if you decide to expand your business operations and incorporate value engineering servicesfrom Leon Williams Contractors to find the best use of your office renovation budget.
