FAQs
What is commercial construction?
Commercial construction, oftentimes confused with industrial construction, refers to the process in planning, designing, building and overseeing large-scale construction projects such as the construction of retail stores, franchise stores, warehouses, gyms, offices, restaurants and more!
How does commercial construction differ
from industrial construction?
The key differences between commercial and
industrial construction lay in the total scalability. Industrial construction leans into large-scale projects like factories or multi-unit shopping centers and is oftentimes built in areas where there is ample space to scale. With commercial construction, location matters much more due to the need for business (think restaurants, sports facilities, etc).
FAQs
Does your team actually build
the commercial buildings?
Our team has boots on the ground experience, however, we offer the best project management in the Greer area and beyond. Our team is proud to oversee commercial projects to ensure all vendors are hitting timelines and working under OSHA protocol, meaning your project goes off without a hitch.
What are the stages of commercial construction?
Development and planning, pre-design, design, pre-construction, construction, and post-construction. We help plan the project, review a rough sketch, design, and ensure all vendors are lined up to properly complete your construction project on time. In the post-construction phase, we walk through the completed project with every customer to ensure no boxes were left unchecked (which we review during construction, as well!).
What makes commercial construction so complex?
Commercial construction is complex due to the variety of vendors involved, OSHA requirements, timelines, state and local regulations, as well as accounting for road bumps in the design & build budget. Commercial construction relies on each vendor to finish their tasks and act with complete regard to other vendors in the area.
Why hire a general contractor

Choosing the right general contractor to oversee your commercial project ensures you’re working with a team that has “been around the block”, is honest, abides by your budget, and takes accountability.
