Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Contracting
What does a commercial contractor do?
A commercial contractor manages all aspects of commercial construction projects, from preconstruction planning through completion. Unlike residential contractors, commercial contractors specialize in business facilities: restaurants, hotels, industrial buildings, institutional facilities, and commercial offices. We coordinate all subcontractors, handle commercial permitting, manage construction schedules, ensure code compliance, and maintain quality standards throughout the build.
How is a commercial contractor different from a general contractor?
While general contractors may handle both residential and commercial work, a commercial contractor specializes exclusively in business and institutional construction. Commercial contractors understand complex commercial building codes, ADA compliance, fire safety systems, commercial HVAC requirements, and specialized regulations governing hospitality, institutional, and industrial construction projects.
What are preconstruction services in commercial construction?
Preconstruction services are the planning and preparation activities commercial contractors perform before construction begins. These include feasibility studies to determine the best approach for your project, value engineering to identify cost savings, detailed budget development, constructability reviews of architectural plans, permit coordination, and realistic schedule development. Quality preconstruction services prevent costly issues during construction.
How much do commercial construction projects cost in Atlanta?
Commercial construction costs vary significantly based on project type, size, finishes, and complexity. Restaurant construction typically ranges $200-350 per square foot, hotel construction $150-300 per square foot, and industrial facilities $75-175 per square foot. As your commercial contractor, we provide detailed preconstruction estimates that account for your specific project requirements and site conditions.
How long does commercial construction take?
Construction timelines depend on project scope and complexity. Restaurant builds typically take 4-8 months from permits through opening, small commercial renovations 2-4 months, hotel construction 12-18 months, and industrial facilities 6-15 months, depending on size. During preconstruction, our commercial contractor team develops realistic schedules that account for permitting, material lead times, and construction phases.
How do you handle change orders on commercial projects?
Our commercial contractor approach emphasizes thorough preconstruction planning to minimize change orders. When changes are necessary due to unforeseen conditions or owner requests, we provide detailed change order pricing with transparent cost breakdowns. You'll always understand exactly what changed, why it's necessary, and the cost impact before work proceeds.
