Commercial Guidance & Renovation in Ottawa, On
An old 1400 sq/ft office space that had not been updated or brought up to code since the 1970's was transformed into a beautiful and elegant boutique salon. But that is just a quick summary - any challenges came with this project.
Being put on hold by the city of Ottawa for four months, due to the lack of current building plans and original permits, was devastating for a start up youth project. The building was misrepresented during the leasing negotiations and the hiring of what turned out to be inexperienced workers made the entire project go from bad to worse.
As a young and new business owner, I needed a professional who would not only be fair, but who had the experience to know what to do and the ability to do it.
With time and money running out, Hartland Contracting was able to come up with ways to get the job done. With the vast knowledge, they were able to determine what the city inspector would be looking for and was able to give me options.
We were in a desperate rush to have the salon finished successfully and quickly (paying rent while unable to open for business would have resulted in the loss of the business before it even had a chance).
With the dedication, experience and creative mind of Peter Hart, the location was transformed before our eyes and we actually opened just in time to host our grand opening event on November 2nd, 2012. Take a look and see the transformation.
