The commercial building design process is an exciting venture for any business owner, but it’s also full of major decisions that can impact your company’s success, opportunities, and bottom line. In our time here at Dorothy Builds LLC, we’ve seen how seemingly minor commercial building design oversights can lead to serious frustrations and inefficiencies later on, and we’re here to help you avoid some of the most common mistakes.
Below, we’ll go over some common commercial building design issues we see and how we help clients overcome them.
- Not planning for future growth. Many business owners are thrilled to plan for their immediate operational needs but fail to account for their long-term plans and goals. We work closely with our clients to design flexible and scalable solutions that offer plenty of room to adapt over time.
- Skimping on storage space. No matter what type of business you run, you’ll need space to store essential equipment, supplies, inventory, and other items. If you don’t include adequate storage space in your design plans, you’ll wind up with a cluttered and cramped workplace. Our commercial building design team can recommend key places to add storage to help the rest of your facility remain tidy and organized.
- Neglecting energy efficiency. In a large commercial building, energy costs can add up quickly. We encourage our clients to invest in high-quality insulation, efficient HVAC systems, and even smart lighting systems to help them keep their energy costs manageable in the long run.
