Here’s what the big picture looks like as you get ready to start building a new home for your Boston business.
Locations and permits
You know the location of your business is going to be essential for building your client base. When your site is accessible and easy to find, you will not have to work as hard to build your business.
Once you have the perfect location, you will need to move forward with getting the necessary permits. Depending on the property’s current zoning, you may need to take additional steps to apply for rezoning.
Review meetings
After applying for your construction permit, you will need to attend a zoning review and a building review. The zoning review meeting will look at the bigger picture of your plans, including the footprint of the building and the parking plan.
After the zoning review, you must attend a building review. The building review meeting will look at the structure in more detail, including:
- Sprinkler plans
- HVAC systems
- Energy and plumbing plans
- Alarm systems
These are the critical steps to moving forward with the construction phase of your new building. It is essential to have experienced support to go through these steps with proper preparation.
