Refreshing, re-designing or re-inventing an office environment is supposed to be an exciting and positive experience; one that invigorates your employees, impresses your customers, and signals to your marketplace (and competitors!) that the best days for your business are ahead, not behind.
However, despite the fact that this should be a “good news” story, the fact is that many businesses undertaking an office renovation endure everything from major schedule and budget overruns, quality control issues, obstacles and issues related to permits and approvals, and the list goes on.
Fortunately, you can take steps to ensure that your office renovation is rewarding rather than regrettable. And the smartest, simplest and safest way to do this is by hiring an office construction firm vs. a general contractor. Below, we highlight the 5 key reasons behind this well-established wisdom:
- An office construction firm is essentially a “one-stop-shop” that covers every aspect of your office renovation, rather than just one piece or phase. This significantly improves quality assurance and efficiency, and lowers costs and risks as well.
- An office construction firm delivers significant cost savings as a result of both design knowledge and value engineering, which is a multi-faceted approach that identifies cost-saving possibilities to replace materials and methods with suitable alternatives.

- An office construction firm has the knowledge and experience to design your office renovation based on your available budget. In other words, you will not have your valuable time wasted by exploring options that are beyond your financial framework. Instead, you’ll get a customized vision that helps you get the most for the least, regardless of whether your budget is in the 4, 5, 6 or 7 figures.
- An office construction firm has experience working with the building permit process and city inspectors. The importance of this cannot be overemphasized, since even minor errors in forms, filings and approvals will lead to delays — and drive up costs.
- An office construction firm offers project management expertise, as well as a Project Integration Management (PIM) system to rapidly deploy and manage all contractors and trades.
