前面我们介绍了和加拿大土地使用与有着千丝万缕关系的zoning，与在进行商用空间租赁时，容易在zoning方面遇上的“坑”。接下来，我们将从在进行商业装修的前期设计阶段时，容易被忽略的情况或部分进行介绍与分析。

尽管政府对商业用地设下了许多的限制与条件，却也是基于对前期的施工方、后期的使用者与周围邻里的人身健康与安全考量，毕竟一旦面临美观实用对上安全性的取舍，若没有相关法规限制的情况下，更容易让人想赌一把“不安全”情况发生的几率。而为了能在有法规限制的基础上，在有限的空间内完整展现其品牌风格，聘用一个拥有丰富经验的商业装修团队来进行室内设计尤其重要。

商业空间中的室内设计不同于我们一般理解的普通装修与设计，像选瓷砖或家具那么简单。它不仅要在满足“好看”的同时考虑到品牌的主营业务与工作流程等动线设计，对于企业整体的未来规划与也需要一并纳入考量，避免只看到了眼前的情况，却忽略了如**后期增加员工时需要的空间、空调风量、供电量、甚至是厕所数量等预留**，或是**实际工作流程操作上与设计预想不符**等问题，导致需要在后期拆掉重新优化，费时费力。

一个优质的商业室内设计，即是可以在合理满足工作人员、来访人员、与业主的同时，对未来成品的效果、造价与工期起到规划、指导与约束的作用的。


## 开始施工前，提前打点好邻里关系

最后一个“经验之谈” 或许会被大部分人认为是当代社会中的非必选项，但不可否认的，若能和邻里之间保持良好关系，将能够避免更多可能产生的麻烦。因为不论在任何情况下，若因**灰尘、异味、噪音、施工失误**等情况导致了邻里纠纷，往往市政检查官、物业管理公司、仲裁机构等都会**更偏袒于邻里**，而非正在施工、准备入驻运营的你。

都说“好钢要用在刀刃上”，对于无论是想开餐馆、零售、办公室或企业展厅的你来说，室内设计就是你应该用上“好钢”的刀刃。与一个经验丰富、可靠贴心的商装团队合作不仅是对装修成果的保障，也能在分享想法的同时获得更多专业的建议，更能帮助品牌提升在访客心中的印象分。而在了解这些商业装修时容易被忽略的坑后，相信你的开业之路也会更加顺利。

面对“创业”如此大的一笔投资，尽可能地避开风险并保持业绩的提升是每位创业者的目标。然而一家企业经营的成败原因有很多，从产品定位、人员运营，到品牌观感、目标市场等人为或大环境造成的因素皆有可能对一个品牌的升起或陨落有所影响。


或许他人的成功不是人人都能复制，但避免跌倒的方法却是有的。而一个**拥有丰富商业装修经验**且**值得信赖**的**专业商装团队**将可以是您在建立属于品牌的商业空间时，很好的领路人选择。

## 关于Zoning

Zoning或许是个对许多第一次在加拿大租赁商业场所的“外国人”来说相对陌生的概念，但它作为加拿大土地开发与规划的基础，每一个**独立的商用物业**都已经被**政府用zoning规划为不同的商业用途**。例如有的店面并不被允许被作为干洗店营业，或是有的位置只能开设零售店，不能经营餐馆等。
 
 
正因为zoning如此重要，在正式签下商用场所的租赁合同前，租方一定要先确认自己的经营业务是否与心仪的商业场所拥有的商业用途相同。若在签下合同后才发现租下的位置并不能作预期结果使用，则会增加额外的成本，以下是两种可能出现的情况：

 

### 1.	如果**想租的地点**和**你想经营的**业务**类别相同**
*例如你希望用这间店铺开家餐馆，而这个地址曾经也是作餐馆用途；或是你想租下作办公室的物业，别人曾经也是租来当办公室的，这些“商业性质”不变的情况。*
 
 
恭喜你！这是最好的情况，代表你不需要就zoning这件事上和政府的相关部门作更多的周旋。尽管如此，你想租的这个物业还是有可能因为**室内布局过于老旧**、**不符合最新的建筑规章制度**等硬性原因，又或是需要增加厕所、总电量供给等与**基础设施相关**的软性原因，而需要进行一些**改变内部结构的装修**。那么这就会需要申请我们前面提到的政府批文（permit）来进行装修调整了。

例如室内如果没有无障碍设施（通道、厕所等）或安全出口指示灯，就不符合政府现有的建筑规章制度，必须更新以符合规定。

 

![architects-face-mask-planning-construction-new-normal copy.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/architects_face_mask_planning_construction_new_normal_copy_321fe224a8.jpg)

 

### 2.	如果**想租的地点**和**你想经营的**业务**类别不同**

*例如你希望用这间店铺开家饭店，但政府对这个店铺的规划并不包括餐饮；或是想要用一直作为仓库使用的位置来开设修车行，这些“商业性质”不同的情况，或是启用新建好的毛坯物业等。*


先别紧张，这并不代表你完全没机会在这个地点经营你的业务。在无法百分之百确定该商业场所允许的经营种类有包含你的业务类别时，最好还是与**该地点所属的市级建筑部门**确认后再作决定更为妥当。例如想租的店铺位于多伦多市中心，就需要和[多伦多市政府](https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/zoning-by-law-preliminary-zoning-reviews/)联系确认。


若政府对该地址的使用规划有包含你想经营的业务种类，则我们可以跳回上一条继续下一步的规划；若并不包含，却也不想放弃在这个地点合法经营，就需要考虑申请更改该地点的zoning。然而这一系列从申请更改zoning到市政府审批所需的**时间和成功几率**是**无法获得承诺与保障**的，因此最终是否要执行还是建议再三评估后决定。

面对“创业”如此大的一笔投资，尽可能地避开风险并保持业绩的提升是每位创业者的目标，但所有人为或大环境造成的因素皆有可能对一个品牌的升起或陨落有所影响。匠垣将会列举关于进行商业装修时容易遇上的情况，并提供相应的建议。

在多伦多开店，如何避开商业装修时“看不见的坑”？（上）

![how-to-plan-a-commercial-remodel-for-your-business-everything-you-need-to-know0for-a-commercial-renovation-project-by-jyconstruction-group-jyc-ch.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/how_to_plan_a_commercial_remodel_for_your_business_everything_you_need_to_know0for_a_commercial_renovation_project_by_jyconstruction_group_jyc_ch_2f98de7762.jpg)


随着社会整体的经济水平逐渐提高，人们的消费取向不再只关注产品本身，产品包装、品牌形象、全程的消费体验等产品的“附加项”也成为了选择产品时的考量因素之一。对于一间实体店面，高品质、注重细节的门店装修不仅是为了展示产品本身，更是要让消费者在看到店铺的第一眼就能感受到品牌的魅力，从而吸引消费者进门一探究竟。

然而对于第一次在加拿大开店的人而言，与国内截然不同的商业装修手续很容易让人迷失方向；多伦多的装修公司成千上万，想在其中挑选出工艺出众、注重细节且一手包办的装修公司更不是一件容易的事。为了让更多的创业者在创业过程中少走弯路，匠垣为各位列出了新手很容易错过、却万万不可遗漏的几个步骤：

首先我们要了解一下，一次**优质的商业店铺装修**应该包括以下几点：

1. 一间成功的店铺装修，无论餐馆或零售，都应该在第一时间能够吸引路人的目光。也就是门面要**足够吸睛**。
2. 外观设计很重要，需要准确的传达出品牌及产品的定性和调性，引导潜在客户进店。这也是需要选择经验丰富的商业设计团队的原因，他们所掌握的知识点与过往经历是很多家装设计师所没有的。
3. **店内的动线设计**对销售转化也是至关重要的，其中就包括：什么样的布局能让团队更有效率的运转、前厅安排得让客人体验感更好，等等。
4. 选择**WSIB（Workplace Safety and Insurance Board 劳工安全保险)认证团队**，更安心更放心。

![m2go-by-mandarin-commercial-construction-by-jy-construction-group-jyc.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/m2go_by_mandarin_commercial_construction_by_jy_construction_group_jyc_601905199d.jpg)


接着是最重要的一点！正常情况下，除了一些饰面工程，比如换地板，刷墙面油漆等，其它的商业装修都是需要**申请政府批文（permit）**的。

当我们需要动到关于结构工程、水电气消防等工程，或涉及zoning时，就一定要申请政府批文。Permit不仅代表施工是符合防火、无障碍与资源保护的标准外，同时也能确保周围居民与工人在施工期间的健康与安全；**如果不申请permit，一旦被人举报或者被City发现，将会影响开业时间和正常营业**，这对于任何店家来说都是很严重的。

**申请批文前需要哪些准备？**找个靠谱的设计团队来设计“室内设计”和“批文图纸设计”！

**室内设计**即为Interior design ，而一套完整的设计图纸包含：

1. 图纸目录
2. 设计总说明
3. 施工图，例如，平面图，立面图，剖面图以及施工细节图
4. 设备施工图，包括水、HVAC、管道、线路系统、供电照明、弱电等设备的平面布置图和详图
5. 效果图

一般全套室内设计图会在4个星期起完成，具体时间根据项目大小、难易程度来决定时间。

![interior-design-is-more-than-important-in-commercial-construction-by-jy-construction-group-jyc.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/interior_design_is_more_than_important_in_commercial_construction_by_jy_construction_group_jyc_0dcb688b33.jpg)


**批文图纸设计**则是我们常说的permit drawing：

根据**室内设计的平面图**与**现场情况**来画的，画图时间也是2-4周内完成。和室内设计相同，不同的项目，所需时间也会不同。同时，permit也是有不同的种类的，这就意味着一个项目可能需要申请好几种permit。基本的商业室内装修会涉及到的批文包括：

- Building Permit，它包括人身安全类的图纸信息以及结构等方面的变动；
- Mechanical Permit，空调、煤气管道以及消防类相关的图纸；
- Plumbing Permit，所有关于水部分的相关的图纸; 
- Electrical Permit，电图纸，其中会包含电箱灯具以及设备用电量等信息。

批文图纸审批时间一般需要8周左右, 因此若想装修一间店铺，总设计时间应该预留3-4个月左右为最佳；如果盘店下offer，closing date或者免租期则是越久越好。

这些细节看似简单，确是许多新手容易遗漏的第一步。若在前期就能找到专业可靠的商业设计与装修团队，这些复杂的手续都将能被轻松的解决！现在你对商业装修有初步的了解了吗？我们将会在下一篇文章分享**如何避开进行商业装修时的常规坑**。

第一次开店？别担心！一文读懂如何开始加拿大商业装修

Previously, we have introduced land use and zoning in Canada, as well as some of the details that you need to pay attention to when doing commercial renovations. Today, we will further discuss and analyze some of the crucial things that can easily be overlooked during the design stage of commercial renovation. 

In Canada, there are a lot of restrictions and regulations in place when it comes to commercial lands, ensuring the health and safety of every individual involved in the use of land; from the construction period to the post-occupancy phase, the government needs to ensure the safety of everyone. However, with all these regulations in place, it is hard to make sure every step aligns with the restrictions. As a result, it is especially important to hire an experienced commercial renovation team for interior design in order to showcase your brand’s unique style in a limited space with regulatory restrictions.

 

![close-up-man-hitting-nail-by-hammer1.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/close_up_man_hitting_nail_by_hammer1_c85124fec4.jpg)

 

Interior design in commercial spaces is different from what we generally understand as the common/ordinary interior design, such as choosing tiles or furniture. When it comes to design for commercial spaces, it should not only look good, it also needs to take into account the overall brand image and the future planning of the business. For example, it needs to take into account the space needed to increase the number of employees, air conditioning, power supply, and even the number of toilets, etc. If in the future, the actual workflow does not match the design, it will result in the need of tearing down and re-optimizing the shop, which is more time-consuming and costly.

A quality commercial interior design is one that can reasonably meet the needs of the staff, visitors and owners at the same time, as well as provide guidance to future finished products, costs and durations of the planning process.

 

## Before you start construction, make sure you let all your neighbours know about it. 

This last “rule of thumb” may be considered by most people as a non-essential option, but it is undeniable that maintaining a good relationship with all your neighbours will definitely be beneficial to your business. This is important because if a neighbourhood dispute is caused by dust, odour, noise, construction errors, etc., often the city inspector, property management company, and arbitration body will favour the neighbours over you.

For anyone and everyone who wants to open a restaurant, retail, office, or corporate showroom, one must pay close attention to interior designs. Working with an experienced, reliable and attentive commercial team is not only a guarantee of good results but also a way to share ideas and get more professional advice that will help your brand improve as a whole. After having in-depth knowledge of some of the basic principles of commercial renovation, it will definitely help to make sure that your new business will operate as smoothly as possible.

Starting a business is an enormous investment for many individuals, which means that entrepreneurs want to avoid as much risk as possible in order to make more profits. From product placements and operation strategies, to branding and target markets, there are a lot of factors that go towards the success of a brand. 

Perhaps, every brand is unique; it is often rare to copy a brand’s success completely, but there are definitely ways to minimize some of the obstacles that many brands face. For example, hire a professional commercial renovation team with rich experience who is trustworthy will be a good choice for you to establish your brand's commercial space.

[In the previous article](https://jyconstruction.ca/en/blogs/3), JYC has introduced the five renovation requirements for entrepreneurs who are considering opening a business and the importance of applying for government permits. Keeping this basic knowledge in mind, we will further discuss some of the obstacles and issues that brands tend to face during their renovation process and how can these be avoided.

## About Zoning

Zoning may be a relatively new concept to many "foreigners" renting commercial spaces, but it is the basis for land development and planning in Canada. Every individual commercial property has been zoned by the government for different commercial uses. For example, some storefronts are not allowed to operate as dry cleaners, or some locations can only have retail stores, not restaurants, etc.

Because zoning is so important, before signing a lease for a commercial space, it is crucial for the tenant to confirm that their business aligns with the legal use of that commercial space. If you find out after signing the contract that the location you rented is not going to be used for the intended outcome, additional costs will be added.

 

### 1. If the location you want to rent aligns with your business.

*For example, if you want to use the store to open a restaurant and the address was once used as a restaurant, or if you want to rent a property for an office and someone else used to rent it for an office, these “nature of business” remains the same.*

If this is the case, congratulations! This is the best-case scenario, which means you don't have to deal with the government authorities on the matter of zoning. Nonetheless, the property you want to rent may need to be renovated for rigid reasons, such as the interior layout is too old, does not meet the latest building regulations, or for flexible reasons related to infrastructure, such as the need for additional toilets, total electricity supply, etc. Then it will be necessary to apply for governmental permits for such renovations.

For example, if the interior does not have barrier-free facilities (access, toilets, etc.) or safety exit lights, it does not comply with existing government building regulations and must be updated to comply with the regulations.

 

![architects-face-mask-planning-construction-new-normal copy.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/architects_face_mask_planning_construction_new_normal_copy_321fe224a8.jpg)

 

### 2. If the location you want to rent DOES NOT aligns with your business.

*For example, if you want to use the location to open a restaurant, but the government's plan for the store does not include food and beverage, or if you want to use the location that has been used as a warehouse to open a car repair shop, which has a different “nature of business.” As well as, if you want to use a newly built property (roughcast house) to open your business.*

The case here would be a little bit more complicated. Don’t stress; this doesn’t mean that you can’t open up your business at this location for sure.

If you are not 100% sure about whether or not the location you want to rent falls under this category, you can double-check with the municipal building department before signing the lease. For example, if you want to rent a store located in downtown Toronto, you will need to check with the [City of Toronto] (https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/zoning-by-law-preliminary-zoning-reviews/) to confirm.

If the government’s zoning plan for the location includes the type of business you want to operate, then we can skip back to the previous section and move on to the next step. On the other hand, if it does not, but you do not want to give up operating legally in this location, you need to consider applying for a zoning change for the location. 

However, when it comes to applying for a zoning change, the result is not guaranteed. As a result, it is crucial to make decisions only after detailed evaluations have been made.

This is the ultimate guide to commercial renovation in Toronto.

With the growth of individual purchasing power and the emergence of new products in the market, consumers are becoming pickier and pickier when it comes to where and what to shop. A physical store can only stand out from its competitors through unique and eye-catching interior designs and showcases. 

Unfortunately, this is easier said than done. For many first-time store owners, it is extremely hard for them to come up with designs that suit both their brand image and consumer expectations, leading many to seek out construction companies. However, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of renovation and construction companies in the Greater Toronto Area; how does one pick out the right one to work with? 

To help more entrepreneurs and new store owners through this process, JY Construction has listed a few tips that newbies must pay attention to when doing renovations.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when **designing the perfect renovation plan**:

1.	An effective store renovation plan, whether for restaurants or retail chains, should be able to attract the attention of passersby. That is, it needs to be eye-catching enough. 
2.	The exterior design needs to accurately convey characteristics of the brand and products to guide potential customers into the store. This is why you need to choose an experienced commercial design team with extensive knowledge and experience that many home decorators do not have.
3.	The store’s internal layout also plays a crucial role in maximizing employee efficiency and customer comfort.
4.	Choose a **WSIB (Workplace Safety and Insurance Board) certified team** for a more efficient and detailed workflow.

![m2go-by-mandarin-commercial-construction-by-jy-construction-group-jyc.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/m2go_by_mandarin_commercial_construction_by_jy_construction_group_jyc_601905199d.jpg)

The most important thing when it comes to renovation is applying for permits! Barring basic painting of the walls and changing of floor tiles, most commercial renovations require government permits.

With regards to zoning, structural engineering, plumbing, electrical and fire safety,  government approval is necessary. The permit not only ensures that the construction project is in line with the fire safety, accessibility, and environmental standards, but also the health and safety of surrounding residents and workers. **If you were found to not have a permit, once there could be major consequences, potentially affecting your business operation as a whole.**

**“So what do I need to prepare before applying for a permit?”**

Good question! First and foremost, you need to find a reliable design and renovation agency to draft the “interior design” and “permit drawing.”

Interior design is a complete set of design drawings containing: 
1.	A table of contents. 
2.	A general description of the design.
3.	Project blueprints, detailing floor plans, elevations, sections and construction details.
4.	Construction process and equipment drawings, including the layout and details of water, HVAC, plumbing, wiring systems, lighting and power, and electrical equipment.
5.	3D renderings.

Generally, a full set of interior design drawings will be completed in 4 weeks, depending on the size and difficulty of the project.

![interior-design-is-more-than-important-in-commercial-construction-by-jy-construction-group-jyc.jpg](https://jy-construction-cms-mooc.s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/interior_design_is_more_than_important_in_commercial_construction_by_jy_construction_group_jyc_0dcb688b33.jpg)

The permit drawing process, depending on the floor plan and site conditions, should also take 2 to 4 weeks. 
Where it comes to permit drawings, there are various types of permits that need to be secured, depending on the details of the project, including:
- Building Permit, which includes personal safety information, as well as documenting any structural changes.
- Mechanical Permit, which is related to air conditioning, gas, and fire safety.
- Plumbing Permit, which is everything related to water and piping. 
- Electrical Permit, which will contain information on electrical boxes, fixtures and equipment power consumption.

It usually takes about 8 weeks to receive government approvals. So when renovating your store, you need to factor in a total of 3 to 4 months of design time.

When dealing with permits, there’s a lot to think about; people often miss minor details or get lost in the process. If you can find a professional and reliable commercial design and renovation team early on in the process, all these complicated procedures will be taken care of for you!

Do you now have a preliminary understanding of commercial renovation and design requirements? In our next article, we’ll share some useful tips on how to avoid common pitfalls of the commercial renovation process.
