What Makes Commercial Construction Different From Residential?<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u2776 The Intended Use of the Property<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Commercial construction work refers to buildings and properties that will be used for business purposes, such as offices, factories, warehouses, stores, service-oriented businesses, and more. For this reason alone, commercial construction is much different from residential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2777 Building Codes and Permits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The set of local and state building codes, zoning laws, and permit requires differ greatly between residential and commercial construction. Because the use of property is for business and profit-making purposes, a separate set of regulations and compliancy rules apply. Examples include ADA ramps and handicap accessibility, state development plans, elevator permits, and parking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2778 Schedule Pace and Timeline<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because commercial construction work is performed for business\u2019s seeking to make a profit, the pace of work is generally much faster. Scheduling and work pace are adhered to with a stricter focus so that the business may open their doors and begin bringing in a profit as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2779 Equipment and Materials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Commercial properties and spaces are typically much larger, and larger-scale work requires a heavier and more complex set of equipment, materials, and resources. This is a major difference between commercial construction and residential construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
