3 weeks
€15,000
Complete transformation of outdated retail space into a professional real estate office with meeting room, staff kitchen, compliant bathroom, and smart home integration.
THE CHALLENGE

Our client purchased a commercial unit that had been a lighting shop for over 20 years. They needed to transform it into a professional real estate office that would:

Building Code Issues:
  • Bathroom didn't meet current commercial building code requirements (too small, wrong layout)
  • Architect's project required demolition and reconstruction to comply with regulations
  • Old electrical system not suitable for modern office equipment
  • Persistent drainage problems that previous tenants never resolved
Functional Requirements:
  • Professional appearance to attract high-end property clients
  • Private meeting room for client consultations
  • Staff kitchen area
  • Proper lighting for property photos and presentations
  • Modern, low-maintenance finishes
Time Constraint:
  • Office needed to open in 3 weeks to meet lease start date
  • Work had to be coordinated around architect's compliance requirements
OUR SOLUTION
We managed the complete renovation from demolition to final touches, working directly with the architect's compliance plan:

Demolition & Compliance
  • Complete bathroom demolition and reconstruction to code
  • Drainage system excavation and correction
  • Electrical system replacement
Construction
  • Meeting room partition with glass door
  • Kitchen installation
  • Bathroom full build
  • Wall and ceiling repairs
Installations
  • 60x60cm porcelain tile flooring throughout
  • Complete electrical rewiring
  • LED lighting system
  • Smart electric roller shutters
  • Commercial-grade bathroom fixtures
Finishing
  • Professional painting (walls and ceiling)
  • Window frame repainting
  • Facade refresh
  • Business signage design and installation
THE RESULTS

Professional office ready to open on schedule - completed 2 days before deadline
100% building code compliant - passed commercial property inspection first time
Zero drainage issues - solved problem that plagued previous 3 tenants
60% reduction in energy costs - LED lighting + smart shutters for climate control
Meeting room booked 85% of time - clients comment on professional environment
Low maintenance - porcelain floors, quality paint, commercial fixtures designed for heavy use
Smart features client loves - shutters close automatically at sunset, open at 8am weekdays
Increased property value - building owner estimates €25,000 increase due to renovations
WHY THIS PROJECT WORKED

1. Clear Communication with Architect We worked directly from the architect's compliance plan, ensuring every element met commercial building code requirements. No surprises at inspection.
2. Root Cause Problem Solving Instead of just unblocking the drains (quick fix), we identified the incorrect pipe slope and fixed it permanently. Client has had zero issues in 2+ years.
3. Smart Suggestions Electric shutters weren't in original plan - we suggested them based on the large south-facing windows. Client now loves the convenience and energy savings.
4. Commercial-Grade Choices We recommended materials designed for commercial use (heavier foot traffic, daily cleaning). Bathroom and kitchen still look new after 2 years of office use.
5. Timeline Discipline Week-by-week plan meant client knew exactly what was happening when. Finished 2 days early despite solving unexpected drainage issues.
"We needed our office ready to open in 3 weeks, and PRO Reforma delivered exactly on time. They solved the drainage problem that had been an issue for years, made sure everything met building codes, and the final result is a space our clients are impressed by. The smart shutters were their suggestion - brilliant addition. Professional, reliable, no surprises."
