Construction is a great way to bring your business to life or upgrade your commercial property. According to the American Institute of Architects, there's expected to be a 6% increase in construction spending in 2023. While this might not seem large at first glance, this is actually significant growth compared to 2022 projections. Here's what you can expect if you're planning a commercial construction project.

Location Scouting

Before you can plan out specifics and start construction, you need to find a suitable location. Choosing a location for your business is a big decision, so take your time to evaluate your options. There's also the matter of the ground you're building on; some soil is firm and dry while some is wet and soft. An experienced commercial construction team will know how to handle either situation.

Preparation

Once you've got a location for your commercial building, you can start preparing for the project. During this stage, you'll want to plan out your project and the materials you need and start seeking out contractors. The sooner you start this preparation and the more thorough you are, the easier the rest of the project will be.

Initial Construction

The actual construction process is the bulk of most projects. Now that you've got a job site and all the details ironed out, you can start your commercial construction project. Make sure your job site is equipped with proper security measures, including cameras and fences with locking gates. You should also check in with your team regularly to make sure everything is going according to plan.

Project Finalization

Construction project timelines can vary quite a bit based on the size of the project. Your project may be done in a couple of weeks, or it may take several months or more than a year to complete. It's smart to make arrangements before you start construction so you don't have to shut everything down. As individual parts of your project are completed, inspectors will check to make sure everything is done to code.
