What Are The Different Types of Commercial Construction?

We know that starting any construction project can be a daunting task, especially when it comes to commercial construction. A lot is at stake when building your dream storefront or renovating an outdated office space, such as your time, money, and even brand image.

Whether you’re a small business owner, a private investor, or a state organization, understanding the different types of commercial construction can help you know what to expect out of your project and protect your investment. Let’s walk through the various types of commercial construction together: 

3 Different Classifications

Renovations

The purpose of a renovation is typically to upgrade or improve an existing structure or make accommodations to fit the tenant’s specific needs. Renovations are typically the most restrictive type of project because you must work within the constraints of your pre-existing structure.

Expansions

If your business is growing and you realize you need more space but don’t have the resources to move or build a new structure, an expansion is a wonderful option. Expansions allow you to obtain the space you need while refraining from disrupting regular business operations too much.

New Construction

Building an entirely new structure is usually the most expensive choice, but allows you as a business owner or investor to completely customize the space to your needs from the ground up. 

3 Levels of Commercial Construction

While renovation, expansion, and new-build describe the complexity of your project, the level of your project depends on the size of your building or what kind of commercial property you have.

Small-Scale

As the name suggests, small-scale commercial construction projects typically include modest structures such as local shops or storefronts and small office spaces. Due to their size, these projects require the contractor to focus on efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and attention to detail.

Medium-Scale

Construction on mid-sized office buildings, retail centers, or moderate-sized industrial facilities all fit into the category of medium-scale projects. They have more moving parts, making it crucial for your contractor to have excellent project and time management skills all while keeping communication clear.

Large-Scale

Large-scale commercial construction projects include working on large projects like hospitals, malls, industrial complexes, and government buildings to name a few. These are the biggest and not for the faint of heart. With this level of construction, it is crucial to partner with a company that has extensive experience
