I'm looking at building a commercial property, part of which I will use for another business that I own, the rest I plan to lease out to other companies/individuals.I had thought about buying and converting a building to fit my needs, but after doing research, I discovered that I could build a building to my needs for half the price of buying a similar sized building - and that's before factoring in costs to convert the building.So the question that I have for those who have built their properties is: Is there a guide or checklist that I need to ensure that I have things done in the proper fashion.

The reason being, the supply and demand may differ and in some cases significantly as where to look for an investment property depending on the asset class.
