Embarking on a commercial interior construction project involves several key phases, each contributing to the successful transformation of your space. While all projects have intricacies that make them unique, here is a general overview of what you can expect during your project:
Preconstruction Planning
Expect detailed site assessments, development of comprehensive project plans, and collaboration on design development. This phase ensures that every aspect of your project is meticulously planned, from timelines and budgets to identifying potential challenges and strategies to mitigate them.
Procurement
In the procurement phase, materials, equipment, and subcontractors are sourced and coordinated. With the current state of the supply chain, Skyline Construction takes a proactive approach to tracking items and materials with long lead times in order to mitigate any potential delays, along with scheduling skilled subcontractors to ensure a smooth progression to the construction phase.
Permitting
The permitting phase involves obtaining all necessary approvals and permits through the local city and jurisdiction. Our team handles the preparation and submission of documentation, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations, and managing the approval process to avoid delays.
Construction
The construction phase is where the space transformation happens. You can expect demolition and site preparation, structural modifications, the installation of new systems, fixtures, and finishes, logistics coordination of IT, A/V, security and furniture vendors, quality control measures, and strict adherence to safety protocols.
Project Close Out
As the project concludes, Skyline Construction’s San Francisco Bay Area team performs final inspections and client walkthroughs to ensure all work meets our client’s standards and satisfaction. This is followed by a formal project handover and ongoing post-completion support.
