Pardon Our Dust - Under Construction

Four Options to Keep Your Clients Happy During Your Remodel Project

During a commercial remodel, there is more you can do than just posting a good looking “Pardon Our Dust” sign when it comes to your customers and your staff. We know all too well how it is when you’re trying to run a business, but need to update or reconfigure your working space. The thought of disrupting business as usual is just too much, and losing out on customer traffic is out of the question. But never fear, Wolgast has 4 options or solutions to help you get through a remodel with only a little interruption to staff or customers.

What is the Design Build Method of Construction?

Wolgast Corporation® has been a Design-Build Construction Company for almost 40 years and we're curious if it's a well-known term among those who haven’t previously been involved with the construction of a commercial building. Have you heard the term before? In a nutshell, it’s a method of construction delivery in which the building owner executes a single contract with one entity to provide architectural/engineering and construction services.

Design Build Services Add a Construction Department to Your Team

When you choose to work with a design-builder, you’re adding a whole construction department to your business team that’s dedicated to completing a turn-key project as if it were their own. Turn-key in this instance includes initial concept through design, construction, and a 1-year warranty program.

The Value of LEED© Certification for Medical Offices

Determining If the Cost Will Be Offset by the Benefits

The breakdown of advantages vs. disadvantages for LEED^© certifying your medical office is easy – it’s energy cost savings, environmental responsibility, plus marketing position (to name a few) vs. cost.

What Every Business Owner Should Know about Design Build Construction

General Construction for a long time was the primary method of delivering construction. Even Wolgast in the early years was a one-trick pony with General Construction being our only option. That is, until the 1970’s when we were the first to bring Design-Build to what’s now known as the Great Lakes Bay Region.

Building Bigger to Benefit from Economies of Scale

A larger building can typically be constructed at a lesser square footage price than a smaller building. The overall price tag may be more, but a bigger building will get better value per square foot than a littler building, based on similar material selection. This information can help an owner plan for their business’ future.

How to Complete Construction Months Faster

As I’ve gone through the benefits of Design-Build in a recent campaign to inform more business owners about their options, it’s important to discuss the time savings that result from this construction delivery process. We stress the importance of time because we know that the faster construction is completed, the faster you can start generating income in your new space. And Wolgast is your biggest advocate when it comes to speed.

Keep Your Healthcare Practice Open during Remodel

Healthcare practitioners can have a difficult time deciding when to start an occupied medical office remodel due to the speculation of shutdown inconvenience, operations minimization, or the lessening of their income. These are all legitimate concerns during healthcare construction, but Wolgast can offer several scenarios and strategies to keep your practice going while remodeling your office.

Three Easy Steps to Building a Commercial Building

Any commercial building can be built in three easy steps. Whether it is a healthcare practice, manufacturing facility, office building, auto dealership, or restaurant, or if it is new construction or a remodel, we use the steps or phases of Design-Build construction to break down the commercial construction process most efficiently for our clients. The approach is easier on building owners so they can concentrate on their business instead of construction – we take care of it all from concept to completion.

Warning: Adding on to Your Building May Not Be Possible

What you should know before expanding your commercial business space

Many of our clients begin their business expansion quest by attempting to add on to their existing building rather than moving their operation, and most of the time they’re able to move ahead without any problems. Expanding their existing space to make more room for additional manpower or machinery could be more affordable than building new or renovating another building. However, there are times when it’s just not possible to expand where they want or at all. Below we discuss the possible caveats to consider when expanding and to consider for the future when selecting a site.
