Pre-construction:

• Permits and approvals: Depending on the scope of the project, you may need to obtain building permits and other approvals from local authorities.
• Budgeting and scheduling: Once the plans are finalized, a budget and schedule for the project need to be established.

Construction:

• Demolition: This may involve removing existing walls, floors, ceilings, and fixtures to make way for the new construction.
• Framing and drywall: The basic structure of the office is created using studs, joists, and drywall.
• Electrical: Electricians will install wiring, outlets, and lighting fixtures.
• Plumbing: Plumbers will install pipes, fixtures, and toilets.
• HVAC: The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system is installed to ensure the comfort of the occupants.
• Flooring: Carpeting, tile, or other types of flooring are installed.
• Ceilings: Drop ceilings or other types of ceilings are installed.
• Doors and windows: Doors and windows are installed to provide access and natural light.

Finishing:

• Painting: The walls and ceilings are painted.
• Millwork: Cabinets, countertops, and other custom woodworking elements are installed.
