Office & Retail Construction in Northwest Indiana
Creating Spaces That Work for Your Business
A well-designed workspace makes all the difference—for your employees, your customers, and your overall efficiency. Whether you’re setting up a new office, expanding a retail store, or refreshing an outdated space, having a functional layout that fits your business is key.
At Henn & Sons Construction, we know that every business is unique. Some need open work areas, others need private offices. Some stores need custom display shelving, while others need a wide, welcoming entryway. No matter the type of business, we help bring those ideas to life, making sure your space works just as hard as you do.
Office Build-Outs That Support Productivity
The way an office is designed impacts everything from productivity to workplace culture. A thoughtful layout makes it easier for teams to collaborate, gives employees the space they need to focus, and ensures clients feel welcome the moment they walk through the door.
- Efficient Layouts – An office should support the way people work, not get in the way. We help businesses plan layouts that balance open workspaces with private areas, keeping collaboration easy while ensuring employees still have quiet areas to focus. Whether you need individual offices, shared workspaces, or conference rooms, we design spaces that fit your team’s workflow.
- Breakrooms & Common Spaces – Workplaces that offer a comfortable place to recharge tend to have happier employees. A well-planned breakroom, kitchenette, or lounge area gives staff a space to step away and reset. Even a small, well-designed break area can make a big impact on productivity and morale.
- Lighting & Acoustics – Poor lighting and excess noise can lead to headaches—literally. We focus on installing proper lighting solutions that reduce eye strain while keeping the space bright and inviting. We also work with acoustic materials to help manage sound levels, ensuring that office spaces aren’t too loud or too quiet.
A well-built office isn’t just about desks and walls—it’s about creating an environment where people can work comfortably, efficiently, and without unnecessary distractions.
Retail Spaces That Make an Impression
The layout of a retail space shapes the way customers interact with your store. From the moment they step inside, every detail—aisle width, product placement, and checkout flow—affects their shopping experience. A well-planned design keeps customers engaged, makes navigation effortless, and encourages them to explore, while a cluttered or inefficient setup can leave them feeling frustrated or rushed.
- Customer-Friendly Layouts – We design flow-friendly retail spaces that help customers move through your store naturally. That means wider aisles where needed, smart product placement, and clear sightlines to guide customers through the space. Whether you need a boutique-style layout or a more traditional storefront design, we focus on making navigation seamless.
- Durable Finishes & Materials – High-traffic areas take a beating. From flooring that can handle thousands of steps a day to counters that won’t scratch and stain after a few months of use, we choose materials that last. We help businesses select durable, cost-effective finishes that maintain their appearance without constant upkeep.
- ADA Compliance & Accessibility – Making sure your business is accessible isn’t just about meeting legal requirements—it’s about welcoming every customer who walks through your doors. We help ensure proper doorway widths, ramp access, restroom layouts, and counter heights to meet ADA guidelines while keeping the space visually appealing.
Retail construction isn’t just about looks—it’s about creating a store layout that keeps customers engaged, makes employees’ jobs easier, and ensures everything is built to last.
A Straightforward, Stress-Free Process
We get it—renovations can feel like a headache, especially when you’re trying to run a business at the same time. That’s why we streamline the process so you can focus on your customers and daily operations while we handle the heavy lifting.
What to Expect:
- Planning & Permits – We start by understanding your business needs and mapping out a layout that works. We also handle any required permits, ensuring compliance with local building codes.
- Construction & Installation – Our in-house team manages all aspects of the build-out, from drywall and flooring to electrical and plumbing. Because we don’t rely on outside subcontractors, we stay on schedule and eliminate unnecessary delays.
- Final Walkthrough & Adjustments – Before we call it done, we walk through the space with you to make sure every detail is just right. Any last-minute touch-ups or modifications are handled quickly so you can open your doors without a hitch.
Because every project is different, we take the time to customize the process to fit your specific needs. Whether you need a quick refresh or a full-scale build-out, we work efficiently to minimize downtime while keeping everything high quality.
