The Five-Step Total Construction Solution

There are five basic steps to take between undeveloped land and an open store.  We've come up with these five steps:
  1. Site analysis and design
  2. Architecture and engineering documents
  3. City plan and building code review
  4. General construction
  5. Grand opening

We'll briefly talk about each step here.  In later posts we'll go into detail on each step.

Site analysis has to do with understanding the space by doing a site survey and beginning to do the store design.  Budgeting also starts here.

Documentation of all of the major elements (space planning, HVAC, plumbing) is next.  Subcontractors are also identified.

City planning and code review are critical.  You can't proceed between steps without proper permitting.

The grand opening is the culmination of it all. Let the sales begin!

We'll discuss each of these steps in detail in subsequent posts.
