Franklin, TN · Light commercial constructionCommercial Construction in Franklin, TN
Shell spaces finished, small additions built and modest freestanding structures raised for Franklin business owners and property owners, working from approved drawings and a written scope.
Finishing, adding on and building new
JACCO’s light commercial construction falls into three kinds of project. Finishing a shell means turning bare walls and an open slab into offices, a studio or a showroom, with framing, ceilings, restrooms, lighting and finishes. Adding on means extending a small commercial building with new structure tied cleanly into the old. Building new means modest freestanding structures such as an office, a workshop or a storage building. Each one starts with drawings and a permit and ends with a punch list walked with the owner.
Drawings come first, and they shape everything after. Commercial permits commonly call for plans from a licensed architect or engineer, depending on the size and use of the building, and JACCO can build from plans you already have or work alongside the design professional you choose. Bringing the builder in while drawings are still in progress helps catch details that are costly to change later, from structural spans to where plumbing can realistically run.
Our commercial construction work is scaled for small businesses and local property owners rather than developers, and that keeps the relationship direct. You work with the owner of the construction company, questions are answered by someone who knows the drawings, and decisions do not wait in a queue. When a project mixes new construction with renovation of an existing space, the same team carries both from the first site meeting to the final inspection.

Zoning, site plans and review for Franklin commercial projects
New commercial structures and additions in Franklin go through the City of Franklin’s permitting process and raise site questions, such as setbacks, parking and how a building sits on its lot, that are best answered before the design is final. JACCO brings those questions up early and works with your design professional on the submittal. If the property lies within one of Franklin’s historic districts, a new building or an addition that changes the exterior may need design review, and that step goes on the schedule from the outset rather than after the plans are drawn.

What happens between signing a contract and starting construction?
Mostly design, permitting and ordering. Drawings are completed and submitted, the City of Franklin reviews them, and long-lead items such as storefront systems, commercial doors and specialty fixtures are ordered so they arrive when the schedule needs them. JACCO keeps you informed through each step and mobilizes once the permit is in hand and the schedule is realistic, rather than starting early and stalling mid-build.
Can an addition to our commercial building match the original?
In most cases, yes. Matching starts with structure and roof lines, then carries through to brick or siding, windows, trim and paint. Where an exact material match is no longer available, we review the closest options with you and your designer before anything is ordered. For a property inside a Franklin historic district, the review process may guide how the addition relates to the original, and we account for that before the drawings are final.
