Design-Build Process

Opening a new location, growing an existing business, or moving into a space built around your brand starts with a design plan grounded in your goals and your site. Loren Wood Builders provides commercial building, remodel and design services for restaurants, boutiques, professional offices, wellness businesses, creative studios, specialty retail, and more across Indiana. Our commercial projects focus on complex, high-touch spaces that require a high level of detail and craftsmanship, including custom commercial interiors, renovations, remodels, and adaptive reuse projects. Our in-house design and build team gives you one team that manages everything from the first sketch through the final walkthrough, so your project stays on budget and on schedule. We are excited to discuss your objectives and ideas and learn how we can help you achieve your goals for your space.

Design That Reflects Your Brand

Your building is often the first impression a customer or client forms of your business. We design, remodel,  and build commercial spaces that communicate your brand and withstand daily use, from the material choices in a boutique storefront to the layout of a professional office. Because our architects and builders work under one roof, our commercial design services stay grounded in real construction costs and realistic timelines from the earliest sketches.

One Team From Code Review Through Construction

Commercial projects carry code requirements that residential projects do not, including code review, change of use approvals, state design release, and local permitting. We manage each step in-house, so you have one team managing your project instead of coordinating a separate architect, engineer, permitting consultant, and general contractor on your own. Our custom design-build process outlines how design and construction work together from your first meeting through move-in.

Built on Experience With Adaptive Reuse and New Construction

Many of the businesses we work with are not starting from a blank slate. Property owners and developers bring us former warehouses, vacant offices, and empty retail spaces that they want to repurpose into a new commercial destination. We can also work with owners planning a new building from the ground up. See examples of adaptive reuse and new construction in our commercial projects portfolio.

Serving Businesses and Professional Firms Across Indiana

We provide commercial design and construction services for a wide range of spaces, including restaurants, retail and boutique storefronts, professional offices, financial and insurance firms, law offices, creative studios, and other commercial environments. For these clients, a well-planned space says as much about their credibility as their client work, and we design and build spaces that reflect that standard. Our team provides commercial design and build in Indiana for businesses from Bloomington to Indianapolis and throughout Central Indiana.

Frequently Asked Questions

We work with both. If you lease your space, we coordinate design and any construction work directly with your landlord to meet their requirements, so your buildout complies with your lease terms and building code. If you own your building, our process starts with a full site evaluation to see what the space allows before design begins.

In many cases, yes. We plan renovation phasing around your operating hours when possible, particularly for restaurants, retail stores, offices, and other businesses that cannot close for an extended period. We discuss staging options during your initial consultation so you know what to expect for your specific space and business type.

Yes. Adaptive reuse accounts for a significant portion of our commercial portfolio, including historic buildings. Our team works with local permitting and historic preservation requirements as part of the design process for these projects.
