A Calm Path from Vision to Grand Re-Opening: The Concierge Construction Method
1. Discovery & Site Walk
We listen first, then walk the space to understand adjacency, peak hours, access routes, and any existing constraints (MEP capacities, egress, landlord requirements).
2. Paid Design & Preconstruction Agreement
Before we swing a hammer, we align scope, drawings, phasing, schedule, and budget—and map the Uptime Plan (what happens when, where, and after hours). This paid preconstruction phase sets the guardrails that protect schedule, spend, and your day-to-day operations.
3. Permits & Procurement
Draper City uses an online Building Services Portal for applications, status, and inspections. We handle submittals and coordination (e.g., Remodel/Alteration vs Addition permits; site-plan/design standards if applicable).
4. Build & Daily Updates
We execute the phasing plan—clean barriers, safe paths of travel, and targeted after-hours work—while you receive consistent updates in your client portal. Final walkthrough, punch, O&M/warranty handoff, then we check back post-occupancy.

Local Expertise: Draper Permits, Plan Check & Design Standards
Draper’s online portal streamlines permit applications, status checks, and inspections; common categories for commercial work include Remodel/Alteration and Addition. We also coordinate with Design Standards & Guidelines (building and site), and when necessary, engineering standards (drainage, utilities, landscaping). We manage these steps for you and keep you informed at each milestone.
Note: Different scopes can trigger different review paths (e.g., site plan if footprint expands, racking permits for high-pile storage, or separate sign permits). We’ll call these out early and fold them into the plan.

FAQs About Commercial Remodels & Expansions in Draper, Utah
Do I need a permit for my commercial remodel or addition in Draper?
Yes. Draper processes permits through its online portal, and most commercial remodels or additions require permits and inspections. We handle submittals and coordination.
What’s the difference between a remodel and an addition permit?
A Remodel/Alteration covers reconfiguring existing space without increasing floor/roof area; an Addition increases floor/roof area (i.e., expansion). We determine the correct path in preconstruction and file accordingly.
Will my project trigger broader code upgrades?
Depending on scope, certain existing building code provisions can be triggered (e.g., Alterations Level 2/3), which may affect life-safety, egress, and systems. We identify these early and budget/schedule them transparently.
Can we stay open during construction?
In most cases, yes—with a phasing and after-hours plan. We coordinate barriers, noise/dust control, deliveries, and trade access around your busiest times to protect revenue and client experience.
How will I stay informed?
Through your client portal and a predictable cadence of updates—so you control decisions without chasing information.
