What should I expect during the commercial interior construction process?

Embarking on a San Diego construction project involves several key phases, each contributing to the successful transformation of your space. While all projects have intricacies that make them unique, here is a general overview of what you can expect during your project: 

 

Preconstruction Planning 

Expect detailed site assessments, development of comprehensive project plans, and collaboration on design development. This phase ensures that every aspect of your project is meticulously planned, from timelines and budgets to identifying potential challenges and strategies to mitigate them. 

 

Procurement 

In the procurement phase, materials, equipment, and subcontractors are sourced and coordinated. With the current state of the supply chain, Prevost Construction takes a proactive approach to tracking items and materials with long lead times in order to mitigate any potential delays, along with scheduling skilled subcontractors to ensure a smooth progression to the construction phase. 

 

Permitting 

The permitting phase involves obtaining all necessary approvals and permits through the local city and jurisdiction. Our team handles the preparation and submission of documentation, ensuring compliance with building codes and regulations, and managing the approval process to avoid delays. 

 

Construction 

The construction phase is where the space transformation happens. You can expect demolition and site preparation, structural modifications, the installation of new systems, fixtures, and finishes, logistics coordination of IT, A/V, security and furniture vendors, quality control measures, and strict adherence to safety protocols. 

 

Project Close Out

As the project concludes, Prevost Construction’s san Diego team performs final inspections and client walkthroughs to ensure all work meets our client’s standards and satisfaction. This is followed by a formal project handover and ongoing post-completion support.  

 

Throughout every stage, Prevost coordinates and manages all subcontractors and owner vendors. Our goal is to deliver the highest-quality project that exceeds your expectations, meets your budget requirements and enhances your commercial space. 

How much will my project cost?

The cost of commercial construction projects in the San Diego can vary widely based on several factors. Here are some key elements contractors in California typically face that influence overall commercial construction costs: 

 

Scope of Work: Major changes to the space, such as structural modifications and high-end finishes will increase costs compared to simpler updates. 

 

Size of the Space: Larger spaces generally require more materials and labor, leading to higher costs. 

 

Design and Materials: High-quality materials, specialty fixtures, and custom designs can impact the budget.

Labor Costs: More complex or specialized work may demand higher labor costs. 

 

Location: Urban areas with a high cost of living typically have higher construction costs compared to rural areas. 

 

Permits and Fees: Fees can vary depending on local regulations and the nature of the project. 

 

Project Timeline: A tight schedule may require additional resources or expedited services, which can increase costs. Conversely, a longer timeline may offer more opportunities to manage costs effectively.
