How Façade Renovations Can Help in Transforming Your Commercial Building and Saving You Money
Building façades are often redesigned to make the building look more appealing. This can be done for different reasons, but usually it is because tenants want something that looks newer and better than what they currently have.
A new façade or storefront entrance enhances a building’s image by making it seem much more contemporary and inviting instead of drab like before.
Façade Renovation Economics
Façade renovations are becoming increasingly popular because it is less costly and time-consuming than new construction. Typically, ground up projects take anywhere from 1 to 2+ years depending on how difficult they are to find the right location, and hire architects that can construct a building in good quality.
Façade renovation takes only about two months with minimal disturbance of existing occupants if just doing some minor changes or enhancements according to scale and scope of project being worked on for this instance. This process provides an appealing investment option to property owners because it delivers high rent returns with low operational expenses in record time compared to the competition.
Commercial Building Energy Efficiency
Building owners have more options than they realize. Façade renovations not only improve aesthetics but when approached strategically, can result in a building that is both functional and sustainable. From high-performance building envelopes to include additional exterior insulation, cladding windows; façade renovation should be at the top of every owner’s list because it really helps set an older or outdated property apart while also providing energy efficient benefits for tenants inside.
A façade renovation can be an opportunity to reposition a building for the right market.
Why is an Exterior Façade Renovation a Great Idea?
A fresh face
Updating the façade of your facility allows you to present a fresh, appealing face to potential customers or tenants. Incorporating new technologies, better lighting and stylish signage can also lead to better customer experience.
Speedy Completion
Updating a commercial building façade can be completed in months. This means you’ll see results quickly, and tenants will have more time to move out before construction starts if it is done phase by phase on an occupied property.
Minimal Business Interruptions
Time is money when it comes to commercial construction. If you’re doing exterior renovations, your tenants will appreciate the heads up and their business won’t be hurt during this time. Communication before beginning exterior renovations helps everyone’s bottom line – yours included. Façade renovations are far less disruptive than more intensive construction projects.
Some business interruption is inevitable when changes are being made to a commercial facility, but façade renovations can be done with minimal disruption and time lost from normal operations.
Reduced Operating Cost
Enhance the appearance of your commercial buildings while saving money on energy usage. Commercial façade renovations can deliver more than a new look, from improved indoor comfort to reduced operating costs and lower maintenance burdens for years after construction is complete. In the long run, this can save you both time and money.
Enticing Incentives
Your city might offer incentives to help offset the costs involved in an exterior façade renovation. Many municipalities do, as they want local consumers and businesses to be encouraged towards improving their streetscape by encouraging walking or shopping locally which benefits landlords, small business owners and even the community’s economy.
These programs can make renovating more affordable so your city might have something for you.
