Commercial Space Renovation in Athens

Modern, functional business spaces with IG Constructions

Commercial space renovation is an important process for any business seeking to create an environment that is functional, modern and tailored to its actual needs.

A shop, office, service space, medical practice or other business premises needs more than a cosmetic refresh. It requires careful consideration of how the space operates, a suitable layout, appropriate electrical and plumbing installations, adequate lighting and materials that can withstand everyday use.

At IG Constructions, we treat every commercial renovation as a complete project. From the initial site visit and planning through implementation and handover, our aim is to deliver a result that meets the needs of the business.

Why renovate a commercial space?

Business needs change over time. A space that worked well several years ago may no longer support the business effectively. A new layout, a growing team, a change in how the premises are used or a refreshed company image may all make renovation worthwhile.

A well-planned renovation can improve:

• the functionality of the space and use of available floor area,
• the company's image and the experience of customers and visitors,
• staff organisation and storage,
• lighting, electrical installations and network infrastructure.

Commercial space planning

Before work begins, the business's needs should be recorded. How many employees will use the space? How many customers visit each day? Is a waiting area or storage needed? Are meeting rooms or private offices required?

The answers help determine the new layout and the infrastructure the premises require.

Layout and space reconfiguration

Renovation can be an opportunity for a complete redesign. A large space can be divided into separate zones, while a space made up of many small rooms may, where technically and legally feasible, be opened up.

The new layout should account for the business's operations, circulation, workstations, access and the needs of each area.

Electrical installations and lighting

Modern business premises have significant electricity and network requirements. Computers, printers, displays, security systems, air conditioning and other equipment need to be planned for. During renovation, the existing installation can be assessed and any new connections can be designed.

Lighting should be planned around the purpose of each space: supporting workstations in an office, highlighting products in a shop or creating an appropriate atmosphere in a reception area.

Flooring, materials and reception areas

Materials should be selected for both appearance and durability. Daily foot traffic, wheeled furniture, cleaning frequency and the business's needs all affect the choice.

For many businesses, the entrance creates the first impression. A reception and waiting area can reflect the company's identity through a coordinated choice of colours, lighting, furniture and materials.

Office renovation

A modern office should support everyday work. It may need an open-plan layout, private offices, a meeting room, staff areas, storage and suitable video-conferencing infrastructure.

The layout should be designed around the way the particular business operates.

Shop renovation

In retail, the layout should support the commercial operation. Product placement, customer circulation, the shop window, checkout, lighting and storage should be considered together. You can also read about our shop renovation service.

How much does commercial space renovation cost?

The cost depends on the floor area, the existing condition and the scope of work. Factors include a new layout, electrical and network installations, plumbing, flooring, lighting, partitions, bespoke constructions, ancillary spaces and the choice of materials.

A reliable estimate should be based on a site visit and a detailed assessment of the requirements.

Project planning

The renovation should be organised to limit disruption to the business wherever possible. Depending on the project, work may be carried out in phases or within a defined time period. The sequence of work is especially important.
