Factory renovation/expansion costs

Although the renovation and expansion of the factory includes many small tasks, the workload of each task is not large, scattered in many locations, so the unit price will be higher than that of new construction. In addition, many projects require contractors to construct at night, execute by complicated measures, shorten the schedule, quickly return the production site to the factory… This requires a lot of effort from the construction contractor, both in terms of manpower, machinery and construction methods, and at the same time pushing the price of repair and renovation of the factory up a lot.

Factory renovation has never been a simple matter for both investors and contractors. Choosing a reputable and quality renovation contractor will help owners save a lot of time and costs. Depending on the project, the repair demands and the workload will be different, but one thing in common is always the principle of safety and convenience.
