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)
