When it comes to commercial construction, no two projects are the same. There are many different types of buildings and facilities with varying features and regulations that make each project unique. Although there are similarities in the processes involved, each project has individual nuances that bring about specific challenges. For this reason, when deciding on a construction company, you should always choose one with expertise in your particular field.

Here are some of the most common types of commercial construction projects and the considerations involved within each one.

1. Restaurants

A restaurant construction project is a sensitive one. There are numerous guidelines to ensure safety procedures are in place and that the building meets all necessary health codes. Other factors involved include customer comfort, parking space, and disability access. Restaurant jobs can be high risk due to the specialized nature of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing requirements involved in constructing a fully-operational and safety-compliant kitchen.

2. Lodging Facilities

Construction projects in the hospitality industry can vary massively, from tiny roadside accommodations to massive hotels housing thousands of guests. Issues relating to the construction of lodging facilities usually revolve around access and proper adherence to fire safety regulations, and health guidelines. Comfort and privacy for guests is also a big issue. An experienced company will know all the basics of sound-proofing and layout of rooms.

3. Office Buildings

Office buildings lie on an enormous spectrum, all the way from a small office for a small start-up firm to massive skyscrapers housing global corporations. These buildings may include multiple businesses within them. A contractor will have to take into account the types of companies involved, as a different strategy may be required for each. There is no one-size-fits-all approach.

4. Medical Buildings

Hospitals will always be essential, from small clinics and veterinary practices to larger general hospitals. The construction of medical facilities can be a sensitive project, and access is paramount. The project should allow for easy movement of patients and medical staff around the building as well as ambulance and emergency drop-off accessibility. There will also be the need to accommodate sizable, life-saving medical equipment.

5. Industrial Facilities

Companies involved in manufacturing, engineering, or scientific endeavors will require facilities that can house various machines and equipment as well as a great deal of space for storage. The ceiling heights and distribution of space will need to be taken into consideration, and the vast range of safety regulations will depend on the type of business in question.

6. Athletic Facilities

Athletic facilities usually refer to sports stadiums but could also include smaller facilities found in high schools, leisure centers, or public playgrounds. Safety and access are paramount, and structures such as bleachers may be involved.
