The team at APPRO Development seeks to simplify the construction process in MN by sharing some insight for local business owners considering this construction option. In this blog article, you will learn about: - Considerations for buying vs. building - The timeline involved in constructing an industrial building - Access to a current list of industrial sites for sale   ![one.png](https://blog.approdevelopment.com/hs-fs/hubfs/one.png?width=23&name=one.png)First, once you have determined that your space needs require a change, you will want to consider if buying an existing building or building a new facility is the best choice for your business. Our team created a ["Buy vs. Build"](https://info.approdevelopment.com/buy-vs-build-comparison-chart-request) checklist to help with some of these key considerations. Once you have reviewed this chart and have decided construction may be your ideal solution, you will want to consider the time it takes to construct a new facility. ![two.png](https://blog.approdevelopment.com/hs-fs/hubfs/two.png?width=24&name=two.png)The next consideration is the overall timeline for constructing a new facility. Our ["Project and Process Timeline"](https://info.approdevelopment.com/commercial-construction-project-timeline) takes into consideration all of the steps along the way - from site selection, to development and city process steps, to design work, through to the completion of construction. This insightful map helps you navigate the entire process. ![three.png](https://blog.approdevelopment.com/hs-fs/hubfs/three.png?width=26&name=three.png)Finally, once you decide that you want to move forward with constructing a new industrial building, you will want to start your site search as soon as possible. Our team has a few options to help you with this part of the process. You may [search our site](http://www.approdevelopment.com/property-search/) for the properties we currently have actively listed. Additionally, you may [request a site search](https://info.approdevelopment.com/request-a-commercial-property-search-0) and our team can expand the search to additional properties available. Hopefully, this information is helpful for you and your team as you consider constructing a new industrial facility. [Our team](http://www.approdevelopment.com/about-us/meet-the-team/) is available to help assist you wherever you are in the process. We have many additional tools, checklists, worksheets, and more to help you as you go. This is an exciting time for your team!
