No matter the project, construction timelines are known to come under close scrutiny, but the timelines for franchise buildouts can be among the tightest of all because every day the franchise is not open is another day of lost revenue.

While one might think franchise construction projects should be the easiest of them all (certain features and specifications are already given to you, right? Can’t you just replicate them whenever building a new franchise location?) Yes and no. Building a model program can certainly help ensure consistency and improve efficiency, but one of the biggest challenges with franchise buildouts is meeting these goals without overextending your budget and timeline. And both usually run very tight.

To achieve your franchise project goals while reducing the stress and burden of managing these aspects on your own, it can be valuable to hire a construction consultant.

How a Construction Consultant Steers Your Franchise Project

A construction consultant is an industry professional with extensive experience in all aspects of construction. When serving in a consultation capacity, their role as a third party is to guide and advise. They partner with other construction professionals on their way to ensuring a smooth and successful buildout for your franchise location.

Construction consultants bring many benefits to a franchise buildout during all phases of construction. Namely, they work to achieve:

• A project that adheres to established timelines and franchise requirements
• Accurate cost estimate calculations
• Minimum change orders
• Zero permitting issues and compliance concerns
• An on-time, on-budget build

When searching for a construction consultant, first consider your priorities. Then, consider the impact a consultant could have on your timeline and bottom line. Don’t hesitate to ask questions. It’s the best way to find the right professional for your needs and goals.
