Your New Construction Commercial Building
Has the thought of beginning a new construction commercial building project for your company or portfolio been occupying your thoughts? You’ve got to admit; it’s exciting to think about. Creating your own professional space, painstakingly customized to every specification you’ve ever dreamed of? That’s definitely a proposition that makes the heart weak.
BE SURE
Of course, you know that undertaking a project of that scale demands a huge amount of resources. Those resources, in the form of time, money, focus and others, are resources that could otherwise be channeled directly into your business. That’s just one reason it’s important to be sure before you begin.
NEW VS. EXISTING
Why is new construction the best option, rather than buying or leasing an existing building and making modifications to suit your needs? Consider discussing your plans with a financial advisor or business consultant. They will be able to evaluate the situation from a purely professional perspective, and provide valuable, objective feedback.
A GOOD BUSINESS PLAN
The best way to set yourself up for success before building your own commercial property is to start with a good business plan. This will help you feel more confident as you move forward toward your goal, knowing your actions are based on solid, realistic revenue projections. It will also help you gain confidence with lenders, by demonstrating that your company’s financial security will not be jeopardized by a project of this magnitude.
VIABILITY
Now that your business plan is written, carefully evaluate the breadth of your needs. While it is important to manage money wisely and avoid needless overspending, it’s not most important. You need to realistically determine the scope of your short and long-term needs. Factoring in future growth is key. Failing to do so could be financially disastrous.
SECURE FINANCING
Not just any financing. Make sure it’s the right financing. This is the time to do your homework. Make a decision based not only on the lender’s willingness to finance your project at the best terms. Consider what kind of partner they will be for you in this venture, and whether or not they offer the kind of support and services that will be helpful to you long-term.

Seize the Day, Build a Deck!
Your custom deck is calling you...
You’ve been daydreaming about building a great custom deck for… how long? But let’s face it, if you’re like most Middle Tennessee homeowners, it’s probably best to let go of just a small part of the dream. You know; the part where you build it yourself with the help of a few good friends and neighbors? It’s not that you can’t do it, or won’t ever get it done. The simple truth is that you’re busy. And when you finally find those rare, free moments, you probably feel like spending it with your family, your friends, or relaxing.
The perks of success
Ah, the price of success: constant busyness. But one of the best perks of success? It’s pretty likely you can find it in the budget to hire professionals to create and install your new backyard deck - and have it done in time for the holidays. And for quality professional construction that meets your needs, you won’t find a better contractor than Ark Construction.
Year-round enjoyment
One of our favorite things about Tennessee is the mild winters. That means you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy your beautiful backyard deck all year round. You could add a sweet firepit or chiminea to ward off the chill on cooler nights. S’mores anyone? Some people love to add potted trees to decorate for the holidays, from harvest themed decor, all the way to easter. Or, hang suet balls and other treats to attract colorful birds from your neighborhood. What a fun way to add to your family’s enjoyment of the cold weather months!
Seize the day.

Top 10 Fall Home Improvement Projects
It’s official! Fall is here.
At Ark Construction, we love helping families make the most of their homes all year round. Of course, there are several special home improvement projects that we always think about when fall rolls around. Some are great for adding enjoyment, functionality and property value, while others are important home maintenance needs to take care of beore winter winds its way into our lives. Here is our list of the
Top 10 Fall Home Improvement Projects for you to consider this season.
Venturing into winter with a vulnerable roof is dangerous. After all, your home is only as sound as the roof protecting it. Now that fall is here, it’s time to take advantage of super weather and get your roof the tlc it needs to get back into tip-top shape.
You may remember feeling a chill or draft near certain windows in your home. What about condensation or frost on these windows? Having your windows upgraded to more efficient models incorporating glass with multiple panes, spacers or filler gasses (such as argon or krypton) will help keep your house cozy and cut down on high energy costs.
Speaking of drafts, have you noticed a draft sneaking into your house even after the door is firmly closed? You have two options. The first is to fit your doors with fresh new weatherstripping and bottom seals. The second option is to have them replaced with new, energy efficient models. Whatever you do, don’t go another cold weather season unnecessarily dealing with drafty doors.
The great outdoors is about to become a greatly limited option for entertaining and playtime for the kids. Why not convert your basement into a finished room the whole family can enjoy for the rest of your lives? In terms of increased functionality, enjoyment, and property value, there are few home improvement investments that match the tremendous payoff of a finished basement.
The cold weather months can become pretty bleak as the amount of daylight we experience each day diminishes. Adding skylights to your home will allow as much light as possible into your home, helping you beat the wintertime blues, with the added benefit of cutting down on high energy costs!
What happens when fall and winter rain, snow and ice come around? A big, melting, muddy mess, that’s what happens! Creating a mud room is a great way to keep wintry puddles manageably confined. It’s also a great way to keep the peace when the kids (and perhaps the husband) come racing through the door. Having a clearly defined space for shoes, boots and outerwear helps keep stress and mess to a minimum.
Fall kicks off the big three in holiday entertaining, from Thanksgiving to Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Want to make preparing and enjoying the holiday season almost effortless? Maybe it’s time for a kitchen remodel. Your guests will love it! As for you? Well, we suspect you deserve it.
An unattended gutter problem can cause serious problems for your foundation when winter’s wetness in the forms of ice and snow hit. Take action now, as minor investments in professional gutter repair and replacement can help you avoid major expenses just around the bend.
Leaves, cracks, wear and tear create clogging issues in everyone’s gutters. Now that fall is here, we can expect the trees to start raining down those leaves; many directly into those gutters. Why not take preemptive measures this fall and have gutter covers installed? Won’t it be nice to no longer be a slave to your gutters?
10. Wild Card
What special project have you been longing to tackle around the home? Remember, when you’re dealing with experienced, versatile professionals like Ark Construction, you can save money by choosing to have your contractor perform numerous maintenance and remodeling projects, rather than spending more money on additional contractors later!
Ark Construction takes pride in helping families fall in love with their homes all over again. Your Greater Nashville renovation experts, Ark Construction has experience in everything from in-home remodeling, exterior remodeling, custom home remodeling, gutter cleaning, home siding maintenance, and home improvement projects. We proudly serve Nashville and the surrounding area, including Stewart, Montgomery, Robertson, Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson and Williamson Counties.
