One of the most important things to get right during a commercial construction project is selecting the right construction site. Once you’ve made a decision on this, there’s no turning back! This is why it’s important to make sure that you leave no stone unturned when you’re selecting a construction site! A few key things can mean the difference between a worthwhile construction site and one that’s a waste of time. We explain the biggest green flags to look for when selecting a construction site below!
How Accessible Is It?
The first quality to examine a construction site is something you should look for before you even see the location. Think about the commute you took to get to the site. Did you have to go off the beaten path just to get there, or was your journey relatively easy? You should give the site more consideration if you answered with the latter. Accessibility is going to be a major factor in how much business you receive when you officially open. Nobody is going to want to go to a location that is too far out of their way!
How Close Is Your Competition?
Is competition a good thing? It largely depends on what type of business you run and what kind of competition is next to your construction site. Having competition that is similar to your business can be a good thing. For example, if you run a bike shop, having a sporting goods store nearby is a positive sign because their services can complement your own. However, a rival bike shop isn’t a good thing to have nearby. It’s a place that can steal your business quickly!
How Available Are Utilities?
Utilities are more important to the success of your business than you realize. They help give your business the electrical power it needs to operate. In addition, proper plumbing is essential and something that can’t be ignored during the process. When you’re scoping out potential construction sites to use for your project, the availability of top utilities should always be a priority. If they come from too far away, are they cost your business can afford? Depending on your answer to this question, it may be time to move elsewhere.
