Commercial construction is a broad category of projects built for commercial use. There are many types of commercial construction projects, each with their own unique features. This means that contractors will need to approach each type of project in a different manner in order to complete each commercial construction project professionally and safely.
1. Restaurant Commercial Construction
Restaurants are always opening and closing in Hayward and the San Francisco Bay Area. Thus, building and remodeling restaurants are quite common. Most restaurants are independent businesses, not a franchise that already has a brand story. This type of commercial construction project faces restrictions and regulations, because there is a large number of people who dine in restaurants. Therefore, having a good design-build contractor, architect, electrical engineer who understands safety in the kitchen and a team of subcontractors are necessary to start a restaurant commercial construction project.
2. Retail Commercial Construction
Retail stores are usually within a shopping mall or center, but it can also be a stand-alone store. If the retail store is a franchise with many locations, it has to keep the same branding. Thus, the contractor and design-build team have the challenge of representing the company’s branding in the store. If the retail store is an independent business, whether it is a local grocery store or clothing store, they have to build their own unique branding with the help of subcontractors, while also ensuring that the layout of the store encourages people to come in and out of the store fluidly.
3. Lodging Facilities Commercial Construction
Lodging facilities mainly focus on hotel and motels. This type of commercial construction project is quite technical, as it requires lodging facilities to meet requirements, such as fire exits, proper electrical and plumbing systems and distribution of power and water. Lodging facilities require a high level of expertise to provide guests with the most comfortable stay without any issues on the site, and gain repeat customers that is integral to lodging facilities.
4. Office Buildings Commercial Construction
Office buildings don’t need to be towering skyscrapers. They can also be small buildings for a local business. Office buildings will take up a big portion of commercial buildings in Hayward and the San Francisco Bay Area. Specific installations and fixtures will vary depending on the type of business that will occupy the building. Furthermore, commercial construction of an office building is regulated heavily with many safety rules regarding fire escapes, lifts and escalators and other types of amenities in the building.
5. Medical Facilities Commercial Construction
Medical facilities are necessary in Hayward and the San Francisco Bay Area. This type of commercial construction project varies from other types of projects because medical facilities require specific equipment that needs careful planning for electricity and plumbing. This type of planning must be precise and accurate because any mistake can put people’s lives at risk. Moreover, the subcontractors will need to develop a simple and accessible manner to walk throughout the hospital. Medical facilities require extensive experience and skill.
