Commercial Remodeling & Tenant Improvement for Your Business

Our team at Hardt Construction Services understands that businesses must be able to accommodate the specific space and equipment needs of each tenant.

Commercial offices, medical, retail buildings and restaurants must have flexible and technologically advanced working environments which are safe, durable, comfortable, accessible, and aesthetically pleasing. Special attention must be paid to the selection of interior finishes, design and art installations, specifically in entry spaces, conference rooms and other public access areas.

Our commercial building designs consider the integrated requirements of the intended tenants. This includes their desired image, degree of public access, operating hours, growth demands, security issues and equipment technology requirements.

HCS offers personal attention to every commercial construction project. To accomplish this, we employ a professional staff of carpenters, laborers, equipment operators and qualified subcontractors. Each project is completed to exact specifications on time and on budget.

Consultation

Hardt Construction Services takes the time to meet with our clients, ensuring that we understand their project, budget and scope. We review your requirements and goals, and research the parameters of your project to have everything ready when you meet with the owners, Michelle and Tim Hardt. They will talk you through the plan and answer any and all questions you may have about your commercial remodeling, tenant improvement project.

Design & Development

When you decide to proceed with HCS, you will sign a Design Development Agreement, which confirms that the design is yours alone. A 3D model and preliminary space plan are drafted to help you envision the final product. A measuring meeting is scheduled with the client, the project engineer and the construction manager, so everyone understands the project.

Finally, a design presentation and budget review meeting take place, providing a full cost analysis with an estimator covering all financial commitments. You are not asked to sign a construction agreement until you can fully visualize the completed space and have a complete understanding of what your commercial remodel will entail. As soon as the agreement is signed, the project can begin!
