Posted on November 11, 2022 by dayat

After an unfortunate slumping period in new commercial construction projects, we are happy to report that new development projects are in full recovery mode. This trend has been pointed out through a series of leading indicators including deliveries of new building supplies throughout 2014.Another indication of a growth spurt in the commercial construction industry is found in the Architecture Billings Index (ABI) which comes out on a monthly basis. In the ABI there was a sharp three point jump in May of 2014, as compared with the previous month. Thus, the need to speed up the process of commercial construction has become even more crucial.

“In commercial and residential construction, cost-effectiveness, speed and safety count and functionality dominate over prestige.” This is an excellent and pertinent quote. While factors like cost-effectiveness and speed definitely do count in the world of commercial construction; SAFETY CAN NEVER BE SACRIFICED!! Safety is the number one concern in all commercial (and residential) building projects. In this article we will look at how to speed up the commercial construction process WITHOUT sacrificing safety.

The often complex world of commercial construction is ever-increasing in demand. The range of projects vary from office complexes to shopping malls to factories to luxury hotels. Technically; although there ARE differences, commercial construction projects can also be housing developments or apartment complexes. Typically budgets are tight and the time-frames within which a commercial project can be completed are fairly narrow. Therefore speed definitely counts. An excellent construction company CAN deliver primo results under such conditions. The finished product is often visually gorgeous and is completed within the necessary time-frame and safety IS NOT SACRIFICED!! It pays to hire a reputable company for such a project.

What Is Commercial Construction?

Posted on August 11, 2022 by dayat

The term commercial construction is used to refer to any kind of construction project where the eventual outcome will be a commercial property rather than a residential property or industrial property. It can include warehouses, hospitals, sports centres, shopping centres and hotels, as well as some types of reconstruction and refurbishment of historic buildings. One commercial construction firm may not necessarily be responsible for all aspects of the creation of a commercial property from conception to completion, and a variety of different people may be involved, however some well-established construction firms are able to take complete control of all aspects of the construction process.

Commercial properties differ from residential properties because commercial properties are not intended as full time homes, and therefore the needs, rules and regulations connected to commercial properties differ from those associated with residential properties. Those who are wishing to build a commercial property, or adapt a former residential property into a commercial property are usually required to get planning permission in order to be able to do this. If special planning permission is required, it must be properly obtained before any physical work is carried out, or else the owner may be required to undo or remove all the work which has been carried out.

There are different types of commercial construction companies available. Some construction companies will only be contracted once planning permission is received, and once all surveying etc has been called out at the place where the construction will take place. These companies will work according to the pre-approved architectural blue prints which have been commission by outside investors who wish to develop or build a property for commercial use. Other types of commercial construction company will take charge of the whole process from conception to completion, having either designed and funded the project themselves, in the hope that they will be able to sell or lease the property when it is completed, or having been contracted out by a private investor.

It is one of the construction company’s responsibilities that all commercial properties adhere to all local commercial building regulations, and if any of these regulations are not adhered to fully, then the construction company may be liable for any damages. In recent years, building regulations for commercial properties in many countries have been extended to take into account changing environmental standards.

As well as being partial responsible for the health and safety of those who will use the commercial property once it is completed, commercial construction companies must take partial responsibility for the health and safety of its own workers. Any building site is a dangerous place to be, so it is important that all workers in construction companies understand the rules and regulations which are put in place and designed to help to keep them safe. All construction workers should be taught the importance of wearing the correct protective clothing whilst they are on the building site or using building equipment: hard hats and high visibility jackets can help to save lives.
