2. In the project discovery meeting for a commercial
remodeling project, it’s our goal to learn and understand
the business as much as possible. Listening carefully to
the clients needs and making sure we understand
exactly what they are looking for in this project. Using
our experience in the industry, we also try and share
any ideas with them along with listing any potential
issues we may see with the project.

3. Communication is the Key to a Successful Project – On our
team, good communication starts at the very beginning of the
project. After meeting with the client or potential client, it’s then
time for a “Project Estimate Meeting” with the Randahl
Construction team. This meeting is used to convey the clients
vision or goals with our team members who will be hands on
during the project. This can also further identify any specific
issues that may have been missed in the discovery meeting as
well as ensure the accuracy of the numbers we are providing.

4. A detailed proposal is presented to the client once all of the
specifics of the commercial remodeling project have been
discussed. When presenting our estimates to the client, we
make sure that our estimates are clearly communicated and
the work we are to be performing is clearly laid out. Being
honest, accurate and trustworthy is our goal. Project
Exclusions are very important in this process because in the
construction industry it’s very important to understand exactly
what is NOT included in the proposal.

5. Our pre-construction meetings are simple… Get
everyone on the same page from the beginning of the
project. We use these meetings to update our team
members on any changes from the original plan and
discuss any scheduling issues prior to the project
launch date. Construction schedules are also printed
and discussed amongst the group.

JOB SITE PREPARATION
The first stage in the construction process of a
commercial remodeling project is preparation. Proper
planning and job site preparation can help minimize any
disruptions in business operations. Security walls,
plastic protection and proper ventilation is all apart of
this process.

7. DEMOLITION
Demolition is the stage of the commercial remodeling project where everything is removed from the
existing space preparing for the new design. Bottom line… construction demolition is FUN! That said,
it’s only fun when done safe and cautiously.

8. Framing is the stage of the commercial remodeling
project where our carpenters fit together pieces steel or
wood to give a structure support and shape.

9. HVAC (HEATING, VENTILATION, AND AIR CONDITIONING)
Our HVAC team or comfort specialists, ensure that the building and project have healthy building
conditions during and after the project. Proper upgrades and maintenance are performed at this time
as well.

PLUMBING
Our plumbers specialize in installing new plumbing
systems or maintaining existing plumbing systems used
for potable (drinking) water, sewage and drainage. This
stage of the project typically happens once the basic
framing is complete.

11. ELECTRICAL
Our electricians specialize in the electrical wiring of the building, stationary machines and
related equipment. They typically either repair existing electrical infrastructure or install a complete
new system for our clients. The electricians usually follow the carpenters in the process but need to
be completed before the ceiling and drywall.

12. FIRE PROTECTION
Our fire protection team provides updates and the necessary new systems for the project at hand,
ensuring that our clients are up to code upon project completion. The fire protection team is typically
on site installing or updating the systems before the drywall is placed on the framing.

SHEETROCK / DRYWALL
New sheetrock and drywall offer a fresh clean look to facilities and
finish off any new walls that have been added. Professional mudding
and taping is a must in the commercial remodeling industry because
poor craftsmanship will be easily identified. Our drywall team is fast,
professional and complete our projects with great detail. Sheetrock
can be installed once all of the interior systems are in place.

14. One of the most over looked details in a commercial
remodeling project is the ceiling design. Ceilings make a
much larger impact on projects than people think. There
are many different solutions for the ceilings in commercial
space but the most common is ceiling tile. Acoustical ceiling
tile can offer a fresh clean modern touch to the office space
and really make a difference on the project. The ceiling tile
is usually one of the last stages to complete in a remodel.

15. PAINTING
Once all of the internal systems (HVAC, ELECTRICAL, PLUMBING, ETC…) are complete and the
drywall is finished, the painting team can begin. As in all design projects, choosing and selecting the
proper paint for a commercial project is key. It’s also very important to understand that your paint is
only as good as your painters, so quality work when painting is essential.

16. Once the walls are painted and the previous work is
complete, the flooring can be installed. Industrial
flooring solutions include: Carpet, VCT, polished
concrete, ceramic tile, hardwood, or linoleum.

PROJECT CLEAN UP
With most of our projects happening in businesses that are operating
and continue to operate during construction, clean up and keeping the
work space clean is essential. With proper dumpsters and clean up
supplies on hand, our team makes sure that the job site remains clean
and safe at all times. The final clean up stage in our projects are taken
very seriously because when we present the finished project to our
clients we want it to be spotless.

18. After the project is complete, Randahl Construction then works with the local city inspectors finishing
all of the required inspections.
