Some commercial renovations change the look of a space with new finishes. Others take the interior down to the structure and rebuild it around a new layout. Structural improvements, such as a new opening in a load-bearing wall, usually start with an engineer's design. Older buildings were built to older codes, so code compliance updates often join the work.
Each kind of building brings its own needs. In an office, our office renovation work covers new layouts, walls, ceilings and lighting. For warehouses, warehouse renovation adds office space inside or readies the floor for a new use.
Doctor's and dentist's offices get exam and treatment rooms through our medical office build-outs. Stores and restaurants call for retail build-outs. Automotive shop remodels and upgrades stay with commercial remodeling.
Many businesses cannot close for a remodel. We work within your existing footprint and keep daily operations going with minimal disruption. That means phased work: one area is closed off and finished before the next one opens. State law lets the inspector issue a temporary certificate of occupancy for finished portions before the whole job is done.
The North Carolina Existing Building Code has rules for this. In an occupied building, required exits, existing structure, fire protection devices and sanitary safeguards stay in service during alterations. Where one of them is being reworked, the code calls for an adequate substitute. If sprinklers are shut off to tie in new work, the code has the valves checked after each work period.
We plan the phases around those rules and around how your business runs. Our in-house crews cut the delays that come from waiting on subcontractors. Clear timelines and proactive communication keep you and the people in the building informed as each phase moves.
Under state law, remodel work on load-bearing structure needs a permit whatever the job costs. So do changes to plumbing, wiring, heating or air conditioning, and work the fire code covers. In Charlotte and the rest of Mecklenburg County, Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement issues those permits. Its plans examiners review the drawings, and its inspectors check the work against the approved plans.
The North Carolina Existing Building Code sorts remodel work by type and size, and the drawings mark the work area. Replacing or covering existing finishes with new ones for the same purpose is the lightest level of alteration. Moving walls, adding or closing a door or window, extending a system or adding equipment sits a level higher. When the work area passes half the building area, the requirements grow again.
For tricky code questions, Mecklenburg County offers a preliminary review meeting with its plans examiners before submittal. When state law calls for an architect or engineer, no permit issues until the drawings carry that seal. We coordinate with the outside architect and engineer, or build to the plans your designer drew. Outside Mecklenburg County, the local building office reviews the plans, like Union County Building Code Enforcement for Indian Trail.
