Construction Project Management covers a massive number of projects and there are all sorts of builds associated with it. Commercial construction management is the process of designing, renovating and building commercial structures. These are usually large projects that include the use of heavy machinery and are funded by developers that also receive funding from local and even national governmental offices.
Residential vs. Commercial Construction Management
Residential and commercial construction management aren’t the same, they have similarities but not the same. For example, the materials used are often different. Residential homes are usually framed in timber, which is more cost-effective and suitable for smaller buildings. Larger, more complex commercial construction projects require steel frames because they can support the weight of bigger buildings and have a longer life span.
The Scale of Commercial Construction Project
Commercial construction projects encompass many types of buildings including small, medium and large projects. Small-scale projects are often rebranded, such as updating the interiors of buildings. These projects can be as simple as a new paint job or new flooring. There are also office buildings of various sizes and configurations, hotels and other lodging facilities.
