About Commercial Construction Services

What Are Commercial Construction Services? 

Commercial construction projects are built and overseen by a general contractor company. It involves the building and selling of business structures such as warehouses, offices, industrial buildings, and retail centers. When referring to commercial construction, it always talks about properties in the private sector. 

While commercial construction deals with commercial properties, residential construction focuses on individual housing projects. However, some general contractors can only provide their services to select industries. When you choose a commercial contracting company, ask them which industries they serve. 

Different Levels Of Commercial Construction 

There are various levels of commercial construction projects that contractors can build, where the quote will depend on the scale of the project. Below are the three different levels of commercial construction. 

Small-scale

These are typically smaller and less-costly projects that require minimum personnel from your contractor. Small-scale constructions will include projects such as: 

• • Structure updates 
  • Space redesigns
  • Various building repairs 

If you’re thinking about opening up your office space, adding extensions to the existing structures, or giving your building a facelift, these all fall under small-scale commercial construction. 

Medium-scale

After some time, a building will lose its exterior beauty and will start to get old, along with all the materials used in its construction. A medium-scale project is a good option for business owners who are looking to restructure, remodel, or add big expansions to their offices. These kinds of updates will be more time-consuming compared to small-scale projects. 

Large-scale

These are projects that will start from the ground up where there is no existing structure to work with. During large-scale projects, general contractors will work with a developer or architect to create a structure based on your vision and preferences. Such projects will need a lot of time, money, and preparation to ensure their success.
