Commercial Building Conversion in Kentucky

Conversion with Commercial Contractors

Because conversion construction is transforming the entire space, it occurs before the owner moves in. It is nearly impossible to convert a space while it’s being used. The converted space will be done to the owner’s specifications with all the necessary codes, regulations and permits obtained and then is ready for occupancy.

Woodbine construction is more than a construction company. We partner with our clients to create a completely custom space. Conversion construction can have unexpected problems or hurdles that we are looking for in each project. We have many years of experience in remodeling and conversions with a specialty team of expert subcontractors dedicated to your project.

Converting an existing building to a new use is typically less expensive than building a new building. Each project varies in cost based on size and scope of the space.

Conversion vs. Remodel vs. Renovation

A remodel or renovation and a conversion are similar, but there is a common misconception that they’re the same thing. There are a few key elements that sets these three projects apart from one another.

• Remodel: A remodel is all about bringing life back into a space. This can be either interior or exterior (or both) and may change the layout of the space, taking down walls, combining rooms, adding features, and changing finish work to update the space.

• Renovation: A renovation is designed to restore or renew a space to its former glory. Renovations are more repairing than changing and includes things like refinishing woodwork, replacing outdated systems, replacing or repairing any part of a home or building that is worn out, unsafe, or not working.

• Conversion: A conversion is taking a space and converting it for a completely new purpose. It’s taking a restaurant and making it an office, taking two apartments and creating three, or making a home into a bed and breakfast, or a corner market into a cafe.

Some projects may qualify as a renovation and a conversion, or a remodel and a conversion at the same time. If you’re updating or renovating a space while transforming the use into something new, the project may include part renovation and part conversion, depending on the space.
