Learn best practices for minimizing disruption during commercial renovation and construction projects in fully operational facilities.
Renovating or expanding an occupied building presents unique challenges. Businesses can't afford extended shutdowns, yet construction work requires space, creates noise, and disrupts normal operations. Success requires meticulous planning, clear communication, and specialized expertise.
Break the project into phases that can be completed in sections, allowing most of the building to remain operational throughout construction.
Schedule noisy or disruptive tasks during evenings, weekends, or holidays when the building is less occupied.
Designate separate paths for construction traffic and building occupants to minimize interference.
Install proper containment barriers to protect occupants from dust, debris, and construction hazards.
Keep building occupants informed about upcoming work, schedule changes, and any expected disruptions
Designate a project manager as the single point of contact for occupant concerns and questions
Clear wayfinding signs help occupants navigate around construction zones safely
Safety becomes even more critical when construction happens near occupied spaces:
Secure fencing and barriers prevent unauthorized access to construction zones
Maintain clear emergency exits and update evacuation plans for the building
Controlled access to protect both construction materials and building security
