Build Spaces That Support Your Operations

Commercial construction services for offices, retail, and facilities throughout Sarasota, Florida.

When you are opening a new location or expanding an existing one in Sarasota, the building needs to meet occupancy requirements, support daily operations, and hold up in a coastal climate where humidity and salt air affect everything from metal fasteners to exterior finishes. Lange Inc. delivers commercial construction that accounts for these conditions while keeping your project on schedule.

Commercial construction includes new builds and major renovations for offices, retail spaces, and facilities across Sarasota and nearby areas including Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria, Holmes Beach, and Bradenton Beach. Your contractor manages permitting, subcontractor coordination, inspections, and material selection, all while working with local building departments to ensure the finished space meets safety and operational standards.

What Changes When You Build for Coastal Conditions

Your contractor in Sarasota will select materials that resist corrosion, specify HVAC systems sized for high humidity, and ensure roofing and cladding meet wind rating requirements. These choices affect how long your building lasts and how much you spend on maintenance after opening.

When the project is complete, you move into a space with proper electrical capacity, code-compliant exits, functional HVAC, and finishes that suit your brand and workflow. Doors open and close smoothly, lighting is positioned where it needs to be, and restrooms and break areas meet ADA and plumbing code standards.

Your contractor also coordinates final inspections and ensures you receive a certificate of occupancy before you move in. If your project involves site work, grading, or stormwater management, those elements are completed and inspected as part of the overall build.

People want to know how long the project will take, what happens if the timeline shifts, and how much involvement they need to have once construction begins.

Most business owners ask similar questions early on

What does commercial construction include beyond the building itself?
Your project may include site preparation, utility connections, parking lot paving, stormwater systems, and landscaping if required by local code. Your contractor coordinates all of these elements and ensures they pass inspection.
How does Sarasota's location affect material choices?
Coastal environments require galvanized or stainless fasteners, impact-resistant glass in certain zones, and exterior finishes that resist salt and UV exposure. Your contractor specifies materials that meet these conditions without premature degradation.
What happens if permitting takes longer than expected?
Your contractor stays in contact with local permitting offices and adjusts the schedule as needed. You receive updates if delays occur and can plan your opening date around realistic timelines.
How do you minimize disruption if construction happens near an active business?
Work is scheduled to avoid peak hours when possible, and your contractor controls dust, noise, and access points to limit impact on adjacent tenants or operations.
When can I start using the building after construction finishes?
You can occupy the space once it passes final inspection and receives a certificate of occupancy from the local building department. Your contractor coordinates that process and notifies you when the space is cleared.
