We pride ourselves on our ability to tailor our approach to meet the unique demands of each commercial construction project. As seasoned commercial construction contractors, we harness a blend of traditional techniques and innovative technologies to construct buildings that truly stand out in the commercial construction industry.
We are particularly adept at handling different types of commercial construction, from bespoke office buildings designed to foster productivity and innovation to sprawling retail complexes that attract and retain consumers. Our projects are designed with a deep understanding of the flow and function needed in commercial spaces, ensuring they add value to businesses and communities.
Commercial buildings are a fundamental part of our modern society, providing the spaces where we work, shop, and conduct business. Commercial construction is an industry that involves designing, renovating and building structures on land reserved explicitly for commercial purposes. Commercial premises, typically funded by private and public entities, include warehouses, retail stores, parking lots, shopping malls, hotels, office buildings and medical centres. In addition, apartment complexes and other profit-generating buildings are also considered commercial structures, as their primary purpose is to generate revenue. There are three main types of commercial construction, small-scale, medium-scale and large-scale.
Three Main Types of Commercial Construction
- Small-Scale Commercial Construction
These projects generally involve renovating and remodelling existing structures, such as changing the interior layout or installing new plumbing fixtures. Small-scale construction projects may also include the erection of small buildings such as treehouses, sheds, or garages.
- Medium-Scale Commercial Construction
Medium-scale commercial construction includes water parks, small businesses, shopping malls and retail stores such as our project, The Palms Retail Space; a newly built structure providing African-Caribbean hairstyling and beauty services. Located in Peckham, arguably the heart of South East London, The Palms is part of an ongoing regeneration project of the Peckham Rye Station area. Much of the building’s vibrant and distinctively colourful design draws inspiration from Peckham’s diverse cultural heritage.
- Large-Scale Commercial Construction
Finally, large-scale commercial construction includes office buildings, hospitals, skyscrapers and hotels. Jerram Falkus previously worked on a hotel project for Yotel London. Founded in 2007 with an emphasis on having a “modern hotel experience”, Yotel have several branches worldwide in global cities, namely Singapore, New York, Dubai, Istanbul and Paris. Yotel London, a former petrol station, is an 8-storey building plus a double basement level hosting 212 guest rooms, five self-contained residential units, 93 sqm of office/workshop space and 250sqm of flexible commercial space. Commercial construction is a complex and highly regulated process, with many codes and regulations to follow when undertaking a building project. It is essential to have experienced professionals who have the necessary qualifications and understand the need for quick turnaround times, cost-effectiveness, and top-notch safety when constructing a commercial structure.
Commercial construction varies in scale from small to mega-scale projects. Small-scale projects, like retail stores or cafes, are simple with shorter timelines and smaller budgets. Mid-scale constructions, such as multi-story office buildings or shopping malls, are more complex and require higher budgets and more coordination. Large-scale projects, like skyscrapers or stadiums, involve significant investment, extended timelines, and larger teams. Lastly, mega-scale projects, such as airports or vast urban developments, are massive, often spanning multiple years and requiring global collaboration and extensive resources.
Embracing the efficiency and flexibility of modular construction, Jerram Falkus offers modular solutions for commercial projects. This method allows for much of the building work to be completed off-site in controlled environments, enhancing quality control, reducing waste, and shortening construction timelines. Modular construction is ideal for projects that require quick turnaround without compromising on structural integrity and design aesthetics.
What types of projects are ideal for modular construction?
Modular construction is perfect for projects with tight timelines, like temporary housing, student accommodations, and emergency shelters. It offers a streamlined process that meets the need for speed without compromising on quality.
We understand the importance of creating inspiring workspaces that foster productivity and collaboration. Our commercial office building construction services are tailored to deliver modern, flexible, and sustainable office environments. From open-plan workspaces and meeting rooms to breakout areas and wellness facilities, we ensure every office building is designed to support the evolving needs of businesses and their employees.
Mixed-use developments combine residential, commercial, and sometimes industrial spaces in a single building or complex.
