What Your Commercial Construction May Be Missing

When starting to plan a commercial construction project, several areas require attending. And, while you may think you have your ducks in a row and that you are doing everything right, we all make mistakes. However, this type of project requires attention to every detail and precision within. Thus, it is imperative to ask yourself, “Have I accounted for everything this project requires?”

Often, construction workers have a plan in mind. However, they sometimes miss a necessary step for project completion. Whether that piece is a missing permit, not following proper safety regulations, or an outdated code concern, it can be hard to remember everything. This is where Schroeder Construction Management comes in.

Commercial construction encyclopedias.

Let’s get back to this one for a moment. Commercial construction is unique because it typically involves much larger buildings than residential construction. Because of this, the commercial side also comes with its challenges. Commercial buildings must be empowered to handle heavier weight loads and have large enough rooms and doorways to accommodate customers.

 

The Schroeder Construction team is always up to date.

Things within the industry change every day. From date codes, regulations, policies, and trends, keeping up is crucial to a successful project build. Our knowledge and decades of experience provide peace of mind to our customers that every last industry detail is accurate and up to par.

At Schroeder Construction Management, we understand how complicated the industry is. We always do our best to ensure that every essential step is attended to, from beginning to end.

Building Design and Construction: The Benefits of Hiring The Professionals

building design and construction

It is all too easy, especially with the accessibility of information on the internet, to be tempted to complete a massive project on your own. When it comes to building design and construction, it’s safe to say this is one area where experts are a must. Performing do-it-yourself alterations like painting a bedroom or installing a tile floor is one thing, but managing a personal construction project is an entirely different situation. It is always better to call a construction management company and rely on the experts when your construction project can quickly get out of control.

More Resources

Employing a construction management firm opens doors and connections that you could never have by completing the project yourself. Our reputation and experience in the industry means we have experienced staff and a fleet of vendors to get high-quality materials. The resources behind us here at Schroeder can turn your project into a work of art.

Precision

A construction manager’s experience means they understand how long projects will take to complete and plan each step to the highest level of efficiency strategically. This allows his team to multitask without sacrificing the attention to detail it’ll take to get everything right.

Proper Precautions

When you hire a team of professionals, they will take care of each detail. All of the necessary paperwork, permits, and other miscellaneous items will be taken care of. You will be sure the process is legal, proper, and well done. If you were to try to complete all the proper precautions on your own for the first time, there’s a chance you’ll miss something significant – halting your project.

Less Stress

Doing a construction project all by yourself is not a small challenge. Although you’re motivated and ready to go in the beginning, this eagerness will likely wear off when the tedious tasks start to pile up. Hiring a construction manager alleviates this stress and allows you to complete the project of your dreams without having to screw in 30 light switch covers by hand.

Even if the project is small, it can quickly spiral out of control without guidance. Professionals here at Schroeder Construction Management will work with you to keep your project on track from the initial building design and construction phases.

Keeping Safe During Commercial Building

At Schroeder Construction Management, we take safety extremely seriously. With so much potential for disaster when it comes to construction, it’s important to us to that our staff is well versed in all safety protocol, and always has access to appropriate safety equipment. With an accident rate of almost 0, our commercial building services are some of the safest you can find in Southern New Hampshire.

Accident Statistics

In 2014, OSHA reported that one in ten construction workers are injured each year. Additionally, it’s estimated that on any given day, nearly 6,500,000 people work at 252,000 construction sites on any given day. To prevent contributing to this one in ten statistic, we give our employees some of the highest safety training available. A number of our staff are OSHA 30 certified, and we also carry an ISN rating of a B.

How to Stay Safe?

In addition to receiving an above average amount of safety training, we provide our employees with the proper equipment to maintain a safe environment. This includes, but is not limited to, flashlights, hard hats, neon vests, safety glasses, and ear protection. Falls have been proven to be the biggest cause of fatal construction injuries. Employing equipment such as harnesses, anchors, and guard rails minimizes the risk of a fall.

Experience Modification Rate

An Experience Modification Rate, or EMR, is an insurance rating that is used to determine workers’ compensation premiums for businesses. This is determined by the industry we are in (commercial building), as well as how many OSHA recordables are on file for a given year. If a company has an EMR of 1.0, they pay the industry average. Here at Schroeder Construction Management, we are proud of our 0.79 EMR, meaning we have below average OSHA recordables when compared to other construction firms.

We understand our staff are people with families and lives outside of the construction site, and we work hard to make sure they stay safe while on the job. We strive for perfection when it comes to safety, and every project that is completed without incident is a win in our book.

Checklist for Commercial Construction

You’ve made your mind up, and it’s time to get that construction project underway. You’re probably very excited to get started, so it’s easy to develop tunnel vision and forget about the smaller details. Before you begin your commercial construction project completed, make sure you go through this checklist and reassure that everything is ready to go.

A Budget

It’s important to consider your budget when undertaking any project, but large commercial construction price tags can easily climb higher and higher if you’re not careful. The professionals at Schroeder will work with you and your team to make sure we meet all of your criteria while staying within your budget.

Supplies

It’s almost impossible to imagine all of the resources that go into building a commercial structure. Concrete, wood, insulation, pipes…the list goes on. Be sure to consider all of the supplies, including time, human resources, and materials,  before you break ground.

Find the Right Management Company

That’s where we come in! Schroeder Construction Management, Inc. is happy to help you manage your construction project from its early planning stages to completion. Finding the best company to handle your needs makes all of the difference.

Check Weather

If the project is outdoors, you need to make sure the weather is appropriate for it. Especially in New England, weather can change on a dime, and the different seasons present various challenges. Make sure you create a reasonable timeline that takes into account weather-related pauses in production.

Space

Arguably the most important thing you need is space. Without the land, you can’t build a large enough commercial space to be successful – you don’t want to be cramped!  Clear out the area, set aside any other supplies, and account for every inch.

Bear these items in mind, and your commercial construction project will be a snap. For all of the management you need to succeed, give Schroeder Construction Management, Inc. a call at (603)-882-1822!
