For more than 40 years T & L Laundry Equipment has been working with laundromat owners to transform existing spaces or build new buildings to house laundromats. Throughout the years we have learned a lot about what it takes to keep your project on time and on budget. There are multiple factors that must be considered as you begin your remodel or build. Choosing an equipment provider, architect, and contractor who has a good working relationship and who can collaborate effectively to keep the project on schedule is one of the most critical factors in the initial success of your business. Are you searching for the best business investment opportunity in NC? Call T & L! We'll explain why opening a laundromat is great for your portfolio.
T & L Laundry Equipment has developed strong relationships with contractors, architects, and other construction providers in the area to help ensure that our laundromat owners don't find themselves in an awkward position that could threaten the financial success of their coin-op. Many owners who are new to the industry fail to take into consideration the amount of time it takes to get a building ready for a laundromat or the amount of time that it takes to get equipment ordered and shipped in. Due to the time constraints and the precise scheduling that needs to take place to help keep the launch of the business on schedule, working with trusted partners is vital.
Having the right contractor who knows the vended laundry industry can help you avoid unnecessary delays and problems. When working closely with someone who is experienced in this industry you can trust that the electrical and plumbing systems needed to support your equipment will be in place on time. Many municipalities have strict code laws that commercial laundry facilities must meet for their fire suppression systems, electrical wiring, and wastewater drainage. Someone who speaks the language of all the different subcontractors that will be on your project is essential. Not only will there be less chance that your building won't pass inspection the first time, but there is also a higher chance that your project will stay on time and on budget with an experienced contractor who is familiar with the industry leading your project.
Choosing an architect for your laundromat is also essential. A clear design and an understanding of the space you are remodeling or building is crucial for the development of your laundromat. While the team from T & L Laundry Equipment will help you with the optimal layout of your equipment inside the building, your architect will help you design a space that feels welcoming and is functional for your business. An architect who knows the industry can work with a seasoned contractor with ease. Allowing for time for structural changes to happen and accounting for the construction, electrical, and plumbing components of the project can help ensure that the delivery and set up of your equipment isn't delayed.
These professionals become even more crucial if you are developing a space that was not previously equipped with commercial grade water, sewer, or electric. Retrofitting or upgrading a space that does not have the proper systems in place can take anywhere from five to six months. Talking with the professionals at T & L Laundry Equipment early on in the process of beginning to evaluate locations, hire contractors, or consider architects can help eliminate bottlenecks in the process and help ensure that the delivery of your new equipment happens at the right time.
All too often laundromat owners will choose to work with professionals who don't have experience in the vended or commercial laundry industry. When this happens, the remodels tend to take longer and often the laundromat owner finds himself making payments on equipment that is sitting in storage instead of installed in a laundromat earning money. Choosing to work with an equipment company that understands the intricacies of opening your laundry will help your business start strong and stay strong.
