From Design to Completed Construction

Another commercial construction project is complete for KD Building Company in Grand Rapids, Michigan.


This project involved the design and construction of a new cart storage and dumpster enclosure addition for a Dollar General location. The goal was to create a durable, functional addition that integrates with the existing commercial building while providing dedicated space for store operations.

KD Building Company handled the project from the initial design and planning stages through construction and completion.



Complete Design-Build Approach

Commercial additions require more than simply adding walls and a roof. The new structure needs to work with the existing property, accommodate its intended use, and maintain a professional appearance.


For this Grand Rapids project, our scope included:

  • Project design and planning

  • Construction drawings and plans

  • New masonry construction

  • Cart storage area

  • Dumpster enclosure

  • Structural framing and roofing

  • Commercial doors and enclosure gates

  • Exterior finishes designed to complement the existing building

  • Complete construction and project coordination


The finished addition features brick masonry, commercial metal roofing and trim, drainage components, secure access doors, and large enclosure gates designed for practical day-to-day use.


Built to Match the Existing Property

One of the important considerations with an addition to an existing commercial building is making the new construction look like it belongs there.


The brick exterior and green roof and trim were selected to coordinate with the existing building. Rather than looking like a separate structure added later, the completed addition fits naturally into the property.


At the same time, the layout provides the durability and accessibility required for a busy retail environment.

One Contractor From Concept to Completion

This project is a good example of the advantage of working with a contractor capable of managing both the design and construction process.


KD Building Company developed the design, prepared the plans, coordinated the construction, and completed the addition. Having one team involved throughout the process helps maintain continuity between what is designed on paper and what ultimately gets built in the field.

Whether a business needs a small commercial addition or a larger renovation, build-out, or expansion, careful planning at the beginning of the project can make a significant difference during construction.
