REBUILDING COMMERCIAL INTERIORS
Plan the work around the property and its use.
Commercial reconstruction restores affected building components after a property loss and the necessary cleanup, drying or remediation. Metrospec Construction rebuilds commercial interiors in Greater Montréal, including walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinetry and finishes. We discuss the damaged areas, the work already completed and the access requirements with owners, managers and occupants. For insured losses, the reconstruction scope is coordinated with the insurer or adjuster. Scheduling, material choices and the use of adjoining spaces need to be considered for each project. If emergency restoration is still needed, call us so your inquiry can be directed to Metrospec Cleaning before permanent rebuilding begins.

A damaged interior can involve work areas, customer-facing rooms and shared facilities. The reconstruction scope should account for the affected components and how repairs connect to adjoining spaces.

STAGE 03 / 04
Plan access and sequencing
Discuss work zones, deliveries, operating hours and any proposed phases. The sequence depends on the property conditions and agreed scope; continued operation is not assumed.

WORKING WITH YOUR INSURANCE FILE
Bring the right people into the conversation.
Commercial premises may involve an owner, a tenant, a property manager and insurance representatives. Identify who coordinates the work and who authorizes decisions early in the project.
Owners, managers & occupants
Identify the project contact and decision-makers. Share access requirements, property information and the needs of the people using the premises.
Your insurer & adjuster
The insurer and adjuster assess the claim, the applicable coverage and the amounts available under the policy. Coverage decisions remain with the insurer.
Metrospec Construction
We discuss and carry out the reconstruction work within the agreed project scope, coordinating the affected building components with the parties involved.
Before authorizing permanent work, clarify the scope, budget and payment arrangements with the relevant parties. Additional improvements should be discussed separately from the insured repairs.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Before the rebuild begins.
What does commercial reconstruction cover?
The agreed scope can include affected walls, ceilings, flooring, cabinetry and interior finishes after a loss. Discuss the premises and their intended use so any specialist requirements can be identified.
Can the business stay open during the work?
Continued operation depends on the affected areas, access and conditions at the property. Discuss occupancy and operating needs with the relevant parties before planning around an open business.
Can work be divided into phases?
Phasing can be discussed where the scope and conditions allow it. Access, connected repairs, materials and approvals affect what is practical. A phased schedule needs to be agreed for the actual project.
Do you coordinate with a landlord or property manager?
Tell us who owns, occupies and manages the premises, and who is authorized to approve the work. Those contacts help clarify access, decisions and the reconstruction scope.
Does insurance cover lost business income?
Business interruption coverage is a separate question for your insurer or insurance representative. Metrospec Construction discusses the building work; we do not determine coverage or compensation for lost income.
What if emergency cleanup is still needed?
Call us at any stage. Emergency restoration inquiries can be directed to Metrospec Cleaning. The reconstruction stage depends on the required preparation and the condition of the affected areas.
