While we are in a transitioning economy with the rise of e-commerce, many entrepreneurs are finding success through the ways in which the internet has given them the opportunity to reach a global marketplace. Websites like Etsy and Squarespace make running an e-commerce business easier than ever, leaving creative entrepreneurs the opportunity to focus on honing their crafts and building their brands. However, what happens when your e-commerce success needs more room for production? Then, it may be time to look into a new, expanded space that gives you the room to grow you need. With the help of a savvy realtor and commercial contractor, you can find an affordable space and update it to be the center of your thriving business.

At De La Riva Construction, we believe in helping our clients transform their locations into functional spaces that support their entrepreneurial goals. We know that, when it comes to commercial construction and remodeling, they need their budgets to stretch as far as possible. We work closely with them to identify goals and priorities, while also ensuring that the final transformation is safe, functional, and represents their vision for their brands. As you consider expanding your operation into a new space, here are some questions to ask yourself so that your general contractor understands what you need from the very first consultation:

• What do you do and how do you do it? You need to articulate how you currently operate so that your contractor gets a feel for your operational model and equipment requirements.
• What does your vision for expansion look like? Do you need office space in addition to your production areas? What about shipping areas? Inventory storage? Take a step back and look at all of the aspects of your operation so that your contractor can help you make the most of every square inch.
• What does your short-term and long-term growth look like? It may make sense to invest in a bigger space than you need right now, renovate/build out only what you need now, then update the remaining space in the future. That way, you plan for future growth, but aren’t putting too much front-end investment in it.
• Will your new location be hosting any on-site customers, clients, or partners? Will you have more employees?

While these are just a few questions to consider as you prepare to consult with a contractor, taking the time to look at the bigger picture can help create a more successful planning and construction process. If you are ready to get started, contact DLR Construction today at 714-871-9561!
