Thinking of remodeling!

It is very important as a Minnesota General Contractor to understand the impact a winter remodeling construction can have on an office remodeling project. Construction costs are usually lower during the winter months. This can save your companies construction project time and money during the winter construction.

There are many other ways to save cost on remodeling projects. These costs can include multiple bids in all construction categories such as electrical, HVAC, plumbing, drywall, painting, ect;. Remodeling doesn’t always have to be the office it can also include warehouse and production areas.

As a General Contractor for the last 20 plus years APPRO Development has remodeled many office, warehouse and production areas and passed along savings to the building owners. Call us today at APPRO Development if you plan to remodel, build or add on this winter.

Environmental Design relating to LEED – What is important to you as a Building Owner

The Minnesota chapter of the AIA has a good resource posted at their website for what an Owner might be asking their design professional when it comes to environmental design. What areas of concern as a building owner do you have? The link below to the pamphlet posted at their website is a good starting point:
