EXSPANSION & COMMON AREA UPGRADES
Premier Construction & Design grows and refreshes commercial properties across Southeast Michigan, from building additions and structural expansions to lobby, corridor, and amenity space renovations, delivered with minimal disruption to your existing operations.
Expansions And Common Area Upgrades, Built Around Your Property
Growing a building and refreshing its shared spaces are different kinds of projects, but they share the same core challenge: the property stays occupied while the work happens. Premier Construction & Design manages both under one team, whether you're adding square footage or updating the spaces your tenants and residents see every day.
Building expansions call for structural tie-ins, foundation work, and code review at the point where new construction meets your existing building. Common area upgrades, lobbies, corridors, fitness centers, and other shared amenity spaces, call for a different kind of planning: keeping the space usable, or phasing access, while finishes and systems are updated around your tenants.
We work with property owners, landlords, and condo and homeowners associations across office, multifamily, and retail properties throughout Detroit and the surrounding region.
Every Phase, One Contract
- Structural Tie-In & Foundation WorkNew foundations and structural connections engineered to integrate cleanly with your existing building.
- Additional Square Footage Build-OutNew space framed, enclosed, and finished to match or complement your existing property.
- Common Area RenovationsLobbies, corridors, fitness centers, and other shared amenity spaces updated for tenants and residents.
- Permitting & Code ComplianceApprovals managed for both new construction and any work triggered in existing occupied areas.
- MEP Extensions & UpgradesMechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems extended or upgraded to support added space or new finishes.
- ADA & Life Safety UpgradesAccessibility and fire protection requirements addressed as part of the project scope, not discovered later.
- Phased SchedulingWork sequenced to keep the rest of your property accessible and operational throughout construction.
- Closeout & OccupancyInspections and punch list resolved so new and updated spaces are ready for tenants and residents.
Growth And Refresh Projects, Managed Without Disruption
Expanding a building and updating its common areas both mean working on a property your tenants and residents are still using. Here's how we protect that experience.
Single Point Of Contact
One project manager coordinates structural work, common area finishes, and every trade in between.
Minimal Disruption
Phased access and sequenced scheduling keep the rest of your property open and usable during construction.
Seamless Integration
New construction is tied into existing structure and finishes so the addition reads as part of the building, not an afterthought.
Transparent Budgeting
Clear cost tracking throughout the project means no unwelcome surprises when the invoices arrive.
Integrated Project Delivery (IPD)
Project Requirements
Validated while identifying IPD stakeholders.
Project Plan Development
Quickly developed with all stakeholders involved to establish preliminary budget and to continually value engineer and validate design.
Permit Plans, Final Costs & Ordering

Construction
