Why is Constructing a Commercial Space So Complex?

Commercial building and large-scale projects require many complex designs, permits, and other considerations, making the construction process uniquely complicated. At AJ Bright Construction near Greer and Greenville, we know what is takes to build your next commercial space so it’s up to town code, franchise code, and brings in design elements tailored to your taste. Learn more about the complexities behind commercial construction below!


Considerations for Your Next Commercial Space in South Carolina


Design Complexity: Commercial buildings often have specific requirements and functionalities, which can result in unique architectural and engineering designs.


Regulatory Compliance: Compliance with building codes, zoning regulations, and other local and national standards is crucial. Meeting these standards can be a complex process involving multiple approvals from town or state authorities.


Site Challenges: Choosing an appropriate site and dealing with site-specific challenges such as soil conditions and environmental considerations can add complexity. Obtaining necessary permits and addressing any legal or zoning issues related to the site can be time-consuming. Ideally, prior to purchasing land, the site should be properly scoped for your project.


Project Scale and Scope: Commercial buildings are often large-scale projects that involve a wide range of stakeholders, including architects, engineers, contractors, and subcontractors. Coordinating these teams adds complexity. The scope of work may include various construction methods, materials, and systems, which need to be integrated seamlessly. In addition, this means multiple companies are working on a project at once, which always puts people at risk of injury or reliance on another individual to comply with construction safety. At AJ Bright Construction, we personally vet contractors that we have worked with, trust, and know are compliant with building processes and safety regulations.


Budget and Financing: Managing the budget for a commercial building project can be challenging, as unexpected costs may arise during construction. Securing financing and managing cash flow throughout the project require careful planning so funds do not run low amid a project.


Other complications include the reliance on other companies to stick to a timeline. For example, if the foundation of a building is not poured and set on a deadline, the rest of the project timeline either falls behind or puts pressure on other contractors to finish their piece of the project in a shorter timeframe.
