Frequently Asked Questions
-
- Commercial construction focuses on the development of buildings or properties intended for commercial or business use.
- Common commercial construction projects include restaurants, retail centers, office buildings, medical facilities, institutional buildings, sports facilities, and industrial structures (such as warehouses and factories).
- Most commercial construction projects are privately funded, though some governmental organizations may support lending for economic development projects.
- Commercial construction can often benefit from the use of construction management software for complex projects, which maximizes business potential by streamlining oversight and management of the build process.
-
Commercial construction generally includes several distinct phases, including:
- Ideation and Planning
- Pre-Design and Development
- Design (including Architecture and Engineering)
- Pre-Construction
- Procurement
- Construction
- Post-Build
Each of these phases tackles unique tasks and challenges required to support successful development.
-
- The materials chosen for commercial construction are largely determined by the building’s purpose, and location.
- Certain use-cases and building purposes will require use of a specific style or form of commercial construction materials - as will the specific environment (climate, ground conditions, etc) of an area.
- Local availability of materials for commercial construction (and their durability within the environment) is also a primary consideration.
- Cost, quality, performance requirements, and sustainability will also affect the choice of materials for use in commercial projects.
-
Capital projects undergo several stages or phases, including:
- Project Initiation / Concept Development
- Feasibility Planning and Fiscal Approval
- Project Planning and Pre-Design
- Architecture, Engineering, and Design
- Pre-Construction and Planning
- Contractor Bidding and Negotiation
- Construction / Build
- Post-Build / Inspection (also known as the Warranty phase)
