Charlotte Business Office Remodel Contractor Builds Offices with Custom Features & Colors

Ferrara|Buist commercial general contractors just completed another business office redesign, construction and upfit project for a professional services company.

“The Ephricon professional offices project is a great example of how our company collaborates with the business owner, develops a workable budget, and provides a turnkey build-out and upfit,” said David Buist, managing partner with Ferrara|Buist.  “The client wanted a colorful interior with positive, fun paint colors, custom-crafted woodwork for the office kitchen cabinetry, and unique flooring options.”

Business office construction, remodeling and upfits are happening more frequently in 2012 because businesses are remaining in their current locations for second and third lease times.  “And we’re finding out that landlords and property owners are more likely to fund office remodeling and upfit projects with tenants who renew and extend their business office leases,” added Buist.

The photos on this post are from the business office remodel and upfit for Ephricon marketing.  This was a fun turnkey office project and we thank the Ephricon team and owner Jon Payne for the opportunity!
