Common Types of Commercial Construction Projects

Commercial construction projects have varying requirements depending on many factors, including location, scale, and whether it’s new construction, a renovation, or an expansion. Differences in local regulations and factors such as bond claim laws, labor laws, and mechanics lien requirements can be very different from one project to the next. A commercial construction contractor must have a good understanding of the fundamental aspects of several common types of commercial building projects:

Commercial Construction Site

Banking

Security for bank workers, currency, and sensitive financial documents carry the utmost priority. With a renovation, clients often want fresher, updated aesthetics. Other times, the desire is to “go green.” With an expansion, the challenge is to construct and fit-out the additional space while causing as little disruption as possible to business operations.

Food & Beverage

Eating and drinking establishments are not just structures with tables and chairs. Restaurant and tavern owners also frequently want to create an ambiance that invites customers to linger and interact with one another. At the same time, they also need the infrastructure to facilitate a professional grade kitchen.

Healthcare

Healthcare projects involve a number of moving parts, including the need to accommodate essential equipment, along with ample space for medical personnel, patients, and even visitors. Given the nature of healthcare facilities, providing maximum accessibility and accommodation is an absolute must.

Industrial

The overriding factor associated with industrial construction projects is space. Whether the need is storing inventory, loading bays for shipping trucks and containers, or accommodating an assembly line, industrial projects require large spaces for both heavy equipment and large numbers of workers. High ceilings and excellent ventilation are also important for safety and health considerations.

Parking Garages

Parking garages present safety and security challenges, along with accessibility considerations. Wayfinding is another important consideration, especially for large, multi-level structures. Many localities demand that parking garages look more like regular buildings and less like stacked concrete blocks, affecting both the design and the construction.

Retail & Hospitality

Many retail construction projects want corporate branding incorporated into the design. Retail shopping establishments need to accommodate a steady flow of customers while remaining aesthetically attractive. Likewise, operators of hospitality establishments want to inspire customers to both linger and make return visits.
