A better-looking building not only adds to your property value, but it also builds a work environment where employees are proud to work. Not to mention, an attractive commercial building is welcoming for customers, and they feel comfortable doing business with someone who takes care of their facility. So, let’s get into a few ways to enhance your commercial building.
Go as Green as Possible
Sustainable buildings have become increasingly popular in recent years. One reason for this is the triple bottom line and its 3 Ps: people, planet, and profits. By having a sustainable facility, it not only decreases costs over time, but it’s much better on the planet. In addition, customers generally value socially responsible companies.
Offer Amenities
Depending on the size of the building, one of the best ways to enhance your commercial building is by offering additional services. However, before you add amenities, you need to identify your audience. For example, if your company’s dress code is business professional, it’s not uncommon to find dry cleaning services on-site. Other amenities to consider are a gym, cafeteria, coffee shop, and even a daycare and playground if many families come to your building.
Update the Structure
The exterior’s appearance is what sparks either interest or disinterest for new customers—this outward appearance is also known as curb appeal. That said, no business can neglect how their building looks from the outside, but that doesn’t mean they’re off the hook inside. Once a customer enters your building, they’re immediately met by a facility that’s either in great shape and maintained, or a building that’s seen neglect and requires ample work. Don’t be the latter.
Three main interior factors can significantly increase your building’s value. First, get fresh paint on the walls, because customers won’t take your business seriously with scuffed up walls. Second, you’ll need to maintain the ceiling; that includes ceiling tiles (if applicable), light fixtures, paint, and so on. Last, floors must be able to withstand the wear and tear of a commercial building. One solution that offers several benefits is polished concrete. It’s the best option for nearly any commercial building.
