  site conditions, or any other issueexcessive
  time to communicate and make decisions slows
  everyone down.

  chances of delay and makes it easier to get the
  work done in a shorter period of time.

Know Your Sole Point Of Contact

• A store renovation can be complex and involves
  many parties including the owner, designers,
  subcontractors, employees, and consultants. If
  one party is not communicating with another, a
  break-down ensues.

  contact is. Open line of communication with
  your sole point-of-contact is crucial in ensuring
  the correct message is delivered to the correct
  person.

  much more reasonable and results in a positive
  experience for all.

  store renovation schedule requires a little
  flexibility and trust your commercial contractor
  to handle potential issues.

Do Not Delay On Selecting Products

• After your contractor has taken measurements of
  the space to remodel it will be your
  responsibility as the store owner to select the
  products to be installed.
• Do your research and make your selections ahead
  of time and itll pay off in saved time. Remember
  that in renovation, one decision affects several
  other decisions. For eg Electrical wires cannot
  be installed until you have selected your
  lighting.
• Make it a priority to order your products as soon
  as you have the green light from your contractor.
   Need help?  Ask your commercial contractor for
  assistance.

  on your final design, stop looking on the
  internet for additional ideas.we know, its
  tempting.

  definitely affect your completion date. One small
  change could cost you a day or a week.  Either
  way, it is a delay.

  owner to help their commercial contractor
