Offices and workplaces have experienced major transformations in recent years as companies shifted to work-from-home structures, hybrid schedules, and back to in-person operations. As more and more companies are ready to return to offices, your commercial building might be ready for a makeover.
Whether your long-term tenants recently moved or you just bought your first commercial property, the right renovations can prepare your building for new tenants and keep them happy. Here are three DIY renovations for commercial buildings.
Suspended Ceilings
Suspended ceilings can elevate the appearance of your office building and make maintenance tasks a breeze. Also known as drop ceilings, suspended ceilings are created by installing a grid system and tiles below the existing ceiling. This renovation is an easy way to conceal wires, ventilation systems, and plumbing while keeping these features easily accessible for maintenance and repairs.
There are many different types of tiles for ceilings to choose from, ranging from wood fiber to PVC tiles, so you can find a material that suits your building’s needs. Whether you lease your building to a marketing agency or an accounting firm, the right ceiling tiles can add a stylish touch to your commercial space while simplifying building maintenance.
Electronic Locks
The right security system makes all the difference when it comes to keeping a work environment safe and efficient. A commercial lock with a keypad allows your tenants and their employees to enter and exit the building without having to worry about keeping track of keys and making spare copies.
Whether your building houses multiple office spaces or a single storefront, digital front door locks can give both you and your tenants peace of mind. Locks with universal deadbolts that are guaranteed to fit on standard pre-drilled doors are easy to install, while models with innovative safety features, such as automatically locking after a period of inactivity, can keep your building secure.
Create Collaborative Spaces
While many companies have been eager to return to in-person operations in recent years, not everyone is eager to return to the days of spending 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in a cubicle. To keep your office space up-to-speed with modern workplace environments, consider remodeling your commercial building to create space for collaboration.
Multipurpose spaces, open floor plans, and amenities—such as kitchenettes and gym areas—can raise the value of your commercial space and make your building more appealing to long-term tenants. While reimagining the layout of your office building might seem like a daunting task, the right resources from a trusted home improvement store can help. Start renovating the floor plan of your building with a trip to a local hardware store that offers design programs and budget-calculating tools to keep this renovation efficient and cost-effective.
With these three renovations, you can make your commercial rental property efficient, safe, and up-to-speed with modern office layouts.
