Is Civil Construction The Key to Securing Your Company’s Future?

civil construction

Civil construction is a key element of infrastructure in businesses and thus, is vital to securing its future. Civil and Scape offers civil construction services because we understand the importance of it in financially and infrastructurally stabilising and growing your business. When we refer to infrastructure security, we also take into consideration any concrete works or construction that improves the business’ functionality. Financial security in business is usually derived from a steady or growing stream of customers. Perhaps unknown to many is the impact that civil construction can have on a business’ financial performance. While not obvious, civil construction can pave the way for strong relationships with clients, customers and employees.

These services can play an integral role in securing a business’ future. In this article, we take a look at how civil construction can positively affect your business’ future.

How can civil construction secure your company’s future

Retaining wall secures its foundation
A retaining wall is vital in providing extra support for areas where the earth must be prevented from moving downhill with erosion. Its most basic functions are to defy gravity, create a flat piece of land and secure your business’ foundation. As a pure landscape feature, a retaining wall can separate different areas of your business’ landscape and create a visual focal point. Regarding your company’s future, it quite literally, provides a solid foundation for your company and its surroundings.

Impress with kerbing and asphalt paving
Kerbing and asphalt paving are not often thought of as part of civil construction. However, it’s a common service executed by Civil and Scape and can bolster your company’s appearance. Kerbing provides edging to a pavement or path and can border flower beds and lawns. Kerbing neatly sections areas of your landscape and is an easy way to achieve a professional aesthetic. Asphalt paving also lends a clean and polished look to your business. How do both secure the future of your business? Both methods impress clients and prospective partners and customers, thereby, strengthening your business’ sales and relationships–the keys to steady growth and profitability.

Facilitate accessibility with professional access paths
Civil construction makes way for access paths, including ramps and staircases, in businesses. Both are, of course, integral to your physical business as they facilitate entry for everyone. Everyone includes persons with disabilities who at times, cannot access premises because of the absence of an accessible path. Secure your customer base by ensuring that you construct ramps and access paths to allow disabled persons to access your facilities, services and products.

Reduce flooding with professional stormwater management
The need for stormwater management spans a variety of reasons. For your business and its environment, urban flooding is the most important reason to ensure that you have proper stormwater management. If your business is located in an urban area, then it most likely was developed on natural vegetation surfaces which are permeable. This permeable surface allows for the natural absorption and drainage of rain or stormwater. Your building, roads and pavements would have been built on this surface and thus, prevent it from draining and absorbing the water. Without anywhere for the water to go, urban flooding occurs. Stormwater management creates a pathway for this excess water to be diverted and avoid flooding. Your business can be seriously affected by urban flooding, causing you to be at risk of incurring irreparable damage and heavy financial losses.

Prepare concrete slabs–the foundation for many elements
Concrete slabs are the foundation for many important design elements, including beams, floors, roofs, ceilings and columns. They provide security for transformative features for your business including, wooden or laminate flows and sculpted concrete beams. Concrete slabs provide two security benefits for your business:

  1. they provide a solid and secure base for your business and,
  2. enable your business to have beautifully designed structural elements which can attract customers and provide a positive environment for employees.

commercial landscape idea

If you’re trying to transform your company, then look no further than reinvigorating your business’ landscape. Your landscape says a lot about your business, its reputation and how much it values itself. By focussing on your landscape and ensuring that it communicates professionalism, you signal to prospective customers, clients and your employees that you care about your company’s appearance, your employees’ comfort and your own reputation. It may sound simplistic that a simple transformation of your landscape can lead to a number of benefits however, in a world with a multitude of businesses, the simplest things can provide that much-needed competitive edge.

To transform your business’ landscape, where do you start? Before you contact a commercial landscape company, you should have an idea of what you’d like your landscape to look like or where you’d like to invest your money. There are limitless options when it comes to redesigning your landscape, and unless you’re familiar with landscape services, it can be difficult to decide on options that are effective for your business. We’ve compiled commercial landscape ideas that would greatly benefit any business.

10 ideas to revamp your commercial landscape

  1. Introduce a living wall
    A living wall is more than just an opportunity for Instagram photos (although, this would help your company’s marketing), it can breathe life into your company and offer a refreshing addition to your space. A vertical garden can be added to both your interior and exterior spaces. Use it as an opportunity to introduce greenery into your office interior–a space that can easily become stuffy and boring.
  2. Create an inviting space for your clients, employees and customers
    When designing your space, aim for creating a warm, inviting and comfortable area for your clients, employees and customers. Use benches, pergolas, shady trees and beautiful flower beds to make your customers want to stay in your space and employees want to come to work. Even if the nature of your business does not require seating for customers, invest in your employees! Ensure that they have a pleasant space to relax on their breaks or clear their heads. On both ends, upgrading your office’s cold and bare environment will attract customers to your business and create more positive-minded employees with high morale.
  3. Brand your landscaping
    Branding your landscape does not only send the message that you are successful enough to invest in tailored landscaping but, it also signals that you care about the environment and your business. If your business is a yoga studio then create a tranquil garden with water features to improve your outdoor classes and match your brand identity. Ensure that it reflects your business and its identity.
  4. Seasonally curate your flowers
    Most business owners don’t think about seasonally curating their flowers however, this allows your business to maintain a vibrant and lively landscape throughout the year. Don’t allow your company’s garden to suffer from winter blues, ask your landscaper to include flowers with different blooming seasons!
  5. Invest in light fixtures
    Even though you may not be working at night, your business is still visible to prospective customers! Improve your company’s night presence by adding light fixtures within your landscape. It will illuminate your business during that night and catch the attention of potential customers.
  6. Promote your company’s eco-consciousness
    Promote your company’s eco-consciousness by adding a plaque that details information about the additions to your landscape. For example, if you have added trees to your landscape, inform your customers via a plaque that it serves as a habitat for a specific animal. Of course, being eco-conscious is beneficial on its own, but it certainly also helps your business to capitalise on the growing popularity of sustainable and environmentally-friendly businesses.
  7. Use native/evergreen trees
    Much like having seasonally curated flowers, including evergreen and native trees into your landscape, will ensure that you have lush and shady trees throughout the year.
  8. Install high-quality additions
    Including high-quality features into your landscape provides an upscale appearance for your business, indicating that you are successful and care about your business’ appearance and your employees’ comfort.
  9. Guide your customers to your entrance
    Try to add planters, stones, flowers beds and shrubs to the pathway of your entrance. This doesn’t only help with guiding your customers and clients to your entrance but, it creates a positive experience from start to finish.
  10. Frame your entrance
    Framing your entrance with your landscape can create a wonderful focal point for your building. Decorate your entrance with potted plants, a small water feature or frame the entryway with a green border.
