Commercial premises renovation: phases, licences and tips

· 5 min read

Renovating a commercial unit has one clear goal: open as soon as possible and start earning. That takes planning, hard-wearing materials and meeting regulations. Here’s how.

Renovation phases

  1. Project and licences: define the activity, layout and permits.
  2. Works: masonry, plumbing, electrics and climate control.
  3. Finishes: durable floors, paint, lighting and brand image.
  4. Final touches: signage, furniture and getting ready to open.

Licences and regulations

Most activities require an activity licence and compliance with accessibility, fire protection and, where relevant, fume extraction. It’s best to be clear on this before starting so the works don’t stall.

Materials that last

In a commercial unit, floors and walls take heavy traffic: porcelain or epoxy resin flooring and washable paints are great allies.
