What to Expect from a General Contractor During Your Commercial Build

Expertly managed commercial construction projects in the Okanagan by Plan B Contractors—delivering quality and innovation every step of the way.

Starting a commercial construction project is a big commitment, and having the right general contractor makes all the difference. At Plan B Contractors, we’ve spent over two decades helping businesses in the Okanagan turn their ideas into reality. Here’s what you can expect when you work with us on your commercial build.

Planning & Preparation of Your Commercial Project

Before any construction begins, we get right into the planning stage also known as pre-construction services. This is where we sit down with you and the design team to map out the project. We’ll make sure all the necessary permits— development and building permits—are in place. During this stage, we look at your design plans, suggest cost-saving ideas, and make sure everything can be built the way you envision it. We also create a budget and project schedule, updating both as the project progresses to keep things on track. 

A Smooth Design-Build Process 

If you prefer an all-in-one solution, our design-build approach is the way to go. As your general contractor, we offer a seamless design-build approach, managing your commercial project from conception to completion. We’ll handle everything from designing, getting approvals, and budgeting, to actual building.

This process simplifies things by keeping communication straightforward. Instead of juggling multiple contacts, you’ll have one dedicated team managing your commercial construction project, making it a preferred choice for many of our clients.

Proactive Construction Management

Once construction begins, we take care of the day-to-day management of your build. Think of us as your eyes and ears on-site. We work with everyone involved—subcontractors, suppliers, and other teams—to make sure the project runs smoothly.

We’ll also keep you updated regularly, so you always know how your project plan is progressing. Our goal is to stay on schedule, stick to the budget, and ensure the finished product meets your expectations.

General Contracting Expertise

If you already have a design team and plan ready, Plan B can step in as your general contractor. We’ll  conduct a diligent and comprehensive document review to spot any potential issues that could affect your budget or timeline. 

We’ve built strong partnerships with our valuable subtrades over the years, allowing us to secure competitive pricing and ensure high standards in the quality of work. This approach minimizes risks and helps your project run efficiently from start to finish.

A Commitment to Quality

With over two decades of experience building the Okanagan, we pride ourselves on our unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, and client satisfaction. Our team of professionals works tirelessly to transform your ideas into reality, ensuring that your commercial space is an investment that succeeds through excellence.

When you choose us as your general contractor, you’re partnering with a team that cares about your project as much as you do. From initial planning to the final walkthrough, we’re here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
