Rebuilding After A Hurricane

Every year, millions of people in the United States are affected by hurricanes. In North Carolina, we are no strangers to the damage done by severe weather in the Atlantic. In the past couple of years, Hurricanes Matthew and Florence have caused billions of dollars in loss and damages in North Carolina alone.

While many business owners will not find it hard to repair buildings from minor damages done to windows and roofing, others are looking at catastrophic loss of property and a complete construction project. When it comes to their existing commercial property, no business owner wants to think about demolition after a hurricane. Unfortunately, in some cases, demolition is necessary.

Most of the damages to commercial property that happen in North Carolina after a hurricane are a result of flooding. Water damage is a necessary building repair but it not a simple process. It requires a dry-out process that involves dehumidification, removing damaged materials, replacement of building materials and more.

The commercial building professionals at Commercial Building, Inc. are experts in rebuilding businesses from the ground up, and in commercial building repairs. If your business has suffered from damages to the exterior or interior of your commercial building, such as roofing issues, structural malfunction or water damage, Commercial Building, Inc. can repair your property and reinstall materials, as well as dehumidify the interior of the building.

Hurricanes are life changing for thousands of people, many of them business owners. It is important to know that life goes on after the storm is over, and Commercial Building, Inc. is on your side. Don’t let hurricane damage hold you back longer than it needs to. Contact Commercial Building, Inc. and tell us how we can help you recover. The idea of repairing buildings or a possible weather related demolition can be daunting, but Commercial Building, Inc. has built a reputation in North Carolina for completing commercial building projects and repairs correctly and in a timely manner over the years.

What You Can Expect From Your Commercial Builder

You have a business plan and now you need a business space. You have never given much thought to commercial building before and the process may seem overwhelming at the moment. Our expert team at Commercial Building, Inc. can relieve any stress you may be feeling about the commercial building process.

Commercial building projects typically are divided into two types. The first is a complete build or from the ground up. Once a location for construction is determined, your commercial builder is with you every step of the way to completion. Commercial building projects of this nature include building plans, civil engineering, and everything from demolition, windows, and doors to masonry, painting, insulation, drywall, and so much more. Also, your commercial builder installs the plumbing, electrical systems, and mechanical systems. At Commercial Building, Inc. we have dedicated companies that handle HVAC installation, electrical work, and sprinkler systems. Anything you need to complete your commercial building, Commercial Building, Inc. is able to deliver.

The second type of commercial building project is called an upfit. An upfit happens when an existing property is purchased or rented out for commercial use. Many times when an existing space is purchased or rented for commercial purposes, it isn’t set up or laid out the way that the business owner desires. Commercial builders can come into the commercial space and provide upgrades to the interior design or layout. This includes everything from interior construction to plumbing systems and specialty renovations, as well as all of the services offered in a complete build. Our team at Commercial Building, Inc. has been a part of many local upfit projects.

Do you have a need for a commercial builder that you can trust to get the job done right and in a timely manner? Commercial Building, Inc. takes pride in being Fayetteville and Pinehurst’s Commercial Upfit Specialists.

What General Contractor Want You To Know!

When you find yourself in need of commercial construction, it may occur to you that you may be able to handle some of the aspects of the project you’re looking to start. While this may be true for certain things, there are cases in which you definitely want to refer to a general contractor. Below are a few things to keep in mind as to why professional is better!

Bye Bye Lead

Not being a general contractor might mean you don’t know all the rules to watch out for when it comes to commercial construction. For example, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has strict standards when it comes to containing lead paint. Not being certified in this profession means you may not know the rules you need follow, which can not only lead you to some trouble, but can have harming effects on the individuals involved.

 

Demolition

 

Because of rules for handling hazardous substances, you definitely want to stay clear of demolition. While in the past it may have been something that could have been done yourself, and even encouraged to do so, taking a chance and potentially harming yourself or others, isn’t something you want to do.

 

Building Code

 

There are just some things that don’t occur to people who are working on something that they’re not licensed to do, or is not their profession. Navigating building codes for your area can be difficult for someone who isn’t accustomed to worrying about that sort of thing. A licensed general contractor will be up to speed on all the building codes for your area, so it doesn’t even have to be a concern for you.

 

DIY (Do it yourself) DAW (Doesn’t Always Work)

 

People outside of the construction/general contractor profession may assume that doing things themselves to save some money is a better choice, but that isn’t always the case. Besides not being an expert in the profession, projects may not turn out as well due to the more cost effective options you may have chosen to use to complete a project. Using a general contractor may be more expensive, but it’ll save you a lot of worry down the road because you’ll know the job was done correctly.

 

If you’re in the Fayetteville area and interested in starting a new commercial building or commercial upfit project, refer to the professionals who you can trust to complete the job the first time, Commercial Building Inc.

2017 Industrial Construction Trends To Look Out For

As with any industry, trends and practices are constantly advancing with every year that passes. Industrial construction is no exception to this.

2017 is bringing upon new trends to look out for. Unfortunately with good news, there may be some bad news following, so let’s get that out of the way first!

In 2017, finding laborers will continue to be a difficult task. Due to the recession, a large portion of the construction workforce was forced to leave their jobs for other sources of employment. Unfortunately, many of these laborers have not returned to the construction industry. Although this may sound like a negative thing, this may open the doors to those individuals interested in making their entrance into this field.

While finding workers may be a difficult task, the opportunity for growth in the construction business will only increase over the next couple of years. In 2016 spending slowed down, compared to previous years. In 2017, it is reported that there will be a 6.3% increase in spending according to ConstructConnect.

It has been mentioned that President Trump has intentions on proposing $1 trillion spending plan to fix America’s infrastructure over ten years. Although it’s hard to determine the guarantee of this following through, the possibility is something to look forward to.

Modular construction will also be on the rise. Although this is far from a new trend, it is something that will be embraced more in 2017. Due to being time and cost effective it can be a better alternative for certain projects, while still producing an aesthetically appealing look.

Lastly, safer job sites are projected to be seen more of this year. This is due to OSHA upping its penalties for safety violations is the last year. This is beneficial because the safer the conditions, the more appealing construction work will look to prospective workers.

Be sure to keep an eye out for these projected trends for 2017!
