Renovating and preparing your commercial properties

Abrita Construction supports commercial and industrial building owners in planning and carrying out renovations in Montreal, the South Shore and the North Shore.

Preparing premises for a new tenant, modernizing a lobby or restoring the envelope requires setting priorities. Scope should account for the building’s condition, occupancy and your schedule.

What we take care of

  • Preparation and renovation of vacant premises
  • Lobby and common-area modernization
  • Coordination of base building work
  • Exterior-wall restoration according to project scope

Preparing premises for their next use

Before work starts, identify what will remain and the desired finish level. A future occupant’s needs may change the layout or service connections. A clear scope distinguishes the owner’s preparation work from the tenant’s own fit-out.

Putting priorities in order

Available reports, observed problems and your intended use help separate necessary corrections from desired improvements. Budget and availability may lead to several phases. Each phase should remain consistent with building use and subsequent interventions.

Coordinating the owner’s decisions

A designated contact facilitates material selections and change approvals. Where several tenants are present, the manager helps plan access and notices. A visit and current documents help reduce unknowns before a quote is prepared.

Our approach

  1. Listening and quoteSite visit, needs assessment, free detailed quote.
  2. PlanningSchedule, permits, coordination with your professionals and the building.
  3. ExecutionClean, phased job site, quality control and continuous communication.
  4. DeliveryDeficiencies resolved, documentation handed over, building ready to occupy.

Frequently asked questions

Can you prepare premises before a tenant arrives?

Yes. Scope can cover reinstatement or renovation. Work specific to the future occupant should be distinguished from the owner’s work.

Can the work be divided into phases?

We can assess this according to access, affected systems and occupancy. Connections between phases should be planned to avoid unnecessary rework.

Which documents are useful?

Existing drawings, building-condition reports, a list of desired improvements and occupancy or space-availability dates.
