At Buckhead Construction Company, we have extensive experience in both residential and commercial construction, and we are eager to help you with either type of project. However, you should be aware of some key differences between these two types of construction before you get started, so we have put together this article to go over some of the most important examples.
- Permits – One major difference between residential and commercial construction lies in the different types of permits necessary for each. Because commercial construction projects are usually larger in scope and require more complicated techniques, they usually require more permits than residential ones. Fortunately, our team has the right experience to secure all the necessary permits for your commercial project.
- Scale – As we alluded to above, another significant difference between the two types of construction is the average scale of the projects. Commercial properties tend to be much larger than residential ones, and they need to accommodate a much larger number of visitors and vehicles than a single-family house does. Our team has the right experience to deal with the challenges involved in building at such scales, and you can count on us to deliver the high-quality results you are looking for.
- Equipment – The third difference we’ll cover here has to do with equipment. Because commercial construction projects are larger, they typically require heavier equipment to build. It takes more horsepower to excavate the site for a commercial building, more concrete to form the foundation, and more lifting capacity to maneuver materials to form the walls and roof. Our team has access to all the necessary equipment, and we have the right skills to use it safely and effectively.
