How to Profitably Accelerate Your Next Commercial Build

To an enormous extent, commercial building projects live and die by the clock. How rapidly and efficiently you can go from start to finish of your contracting project will heavily influence how pleased your customers are with you, how much of a profit margin (or loss) you have as a result, and how quickly you can move on to your next project.

Generally speaking, the more projects you can handle in a year with a solid profit margin for each, the better. Therefore, speed is so important, so long as it can be achieved without sacrificing quality. Fortunately, it can!

Keep It Simple

“Keep it simple” is a wonderful general guideline for many things, including commercial building. Obviously, you're often beholden to the desires of your client and can't always decide what construction elements or design principles to use, but you can make professional suggestions. Even if a client still rejects simplicity of design, style, and construction in some cases, you can at least suggest flooring, wall, decorative or finishing elements that make it easier and quicker to complete a complex job.

Keep Supply Chain Issues in Mind

The supply chain for construction materials plays a major role in how costly or time-consuming a commercial project is. Thus, when selecting materials for your client's needs, choose those that offer quality but are also easiest, quickest, and least costly to obtain. Also, focus on using as few materials as you can without spoiling aesthetic quality and diversity. Doing these things will reduce your costs and the time you spend on logistics while also increasing your profit margins by removing unnecessary middlemen.

Build for Durability

Making sure your commercial build is built to last not only will help reputation with customers, it also saves you time and money. If you offer any kind of warranty for your work, handling it badly from the start will almost certainly lead to you coming back repeatedly for repairs or touchups. You can avoid this by being conscientious from square one.

On the one hand, this means simply making sure to install any structures or finishes firmly and professionally. Secondly, it means using materials that resist damage and last a long time. Again, designing a project around construction materials that are ideal for durability in the local environment and site conditions will offer firm results. For example, if working in humid environments, concrete, tiles, Terrazzio, other ceramics, stone and non-corroding metal elements will make a huge difference.

Choose Terrazzio

If we're discussing durable, extremely flexible materials, then Terrazzio's Terrazzo tile fits the bill. This proprietary resin-based product can be impregnated with natural hard, colorful materials of most colors and then cut into tiles in large format sizes. When installed, Terrazzo tiles can be cut to shape or size, laid down, and polished before placed so rapidly that your client can use the site within a day.

What's more, Terrazzio's Terrazzo tiles are extremely versatile, letting you use them for an incredible range of visual elements and decorative touches. They can also be installed on floors, stairs, and walls with nearly equal ease. Obtain a sample and you’ll see the quality for yourself!
