What You Should Know Before Building A Commercial Building

Aug 01

Building a commercial building can be a very large undertaking and before you jump right into it there’s a lot you should take into consideration. By taking the time beforehand to carefully plan and consider all of the details, you could save yourself a lot of time and money down the road. Schroeder Construction Management has a deep appreciation for historical beauty and keeping the integrity of a building. Here are a few things you should know and consider before deciding to build a commercial building!

Establish Your Budget and Finances

Before you begin anything, the first thing you should do is establish a budget. There’s no point in investing if it’s not going to financially benefit you in the future. Whether this means hiring a financial advisor or looking through the numbers with someone on your team, make sure you know what your budget cap is before beginning the process so that the design and building team know what the goal is. Perhaps consider aiming below that maximum budget to leave yourself room for unexpected additional costs as well.

Choose a Location

When deciding where you want to build, there is more to consider than just the price. Location is arguably the most important aspect. Take into account your target consumer and try to find a location near them. Additionally, scope out the area for potential competition that could affect your business negatively. If that is the case, then perhaps consider a different location.

Plan the Logistics

Next you want to find an area that is zoned for commercial development. Taking that into account, begin getting specific information and restrictions on what is permitted for that area. Gathering that information early can save money during the building’s design stage, if those restrictions are already ironed out. After, begin considering how the building will accommodate its clients and employees, what type of technology needs to be available there, parking area, etc. These accommodations will greatly differ based on the type of business you own.

4 of the Most Famous Steel Buildings Around the World

Sep 25

If there’s one thing for certain, it’s that steel buildings are serious business. Steel is the foundation for some of the tallest, most impressive structures worldwide. Because our team is devoted to all aspects of design-build, we’re taking this moment to give credit where credit is due.

In this article, we’re looking at four of the most impressive steel buildings ever built. While, of course, there are several more, these four have captured the attention of millions and remain standing to this day.

Eiffel Tower

Possibly one of the most famous structures worldwide, located in the heart of Paris, the Eiffel Tower is hands-down impressive. Built in 1889 for the Universal Exhibition, this iconic landmark took a mere 2 years, 2 months, and 5 days to complete. Quite the accomplishment given the time and equipment on hand.

The design of the Eiffel Tower was a combined effort of 50 engineers and designers who began work in January of 1887. On March 31, 1889, and 7,300 tons of iron and 2.5 million rivets later, the project was complete. Standing 1,050 feet above ground level, the Eiffel Tower held the title of the world’s tallest structure for 42 years.

Empire State Building

Another household name among icon structures is the Empire State Building located in New York City. Designed in 1931, this structure was one that was undoubtedly ahead of its time. Standing at 1.454 feet, this 103-story skyscraper held the title of the world’s tallest structure for nearly 40 years, but took under one year to construct!

Willis (Sears) Tower

If you’ve ever traveled to Chicago, the Sears Tower, also referred to as the Willis Tower, is one that can’t be missed. Standing 1,450 feet high, construction of the 110-story building began in 1970 and took three years to reach completion. Featuring a steel-framed bundled-tube construction method, building the tower took the efforts of over 2,000 construction workers and 76,000 tons of steel.

Burj Khalifa

Standing as the world’s tallest man-made structure since its opening in 2009, the Burj Khalifa is located in Dubai. With 163 floors, the building was also designed with a steel-framed bundled-tube construction method. Upon completion, the final calculations leave the structure standing 2,716.5 feet with over 4,400 shorts ton; 3,900 long tons of structural steel, concrete, and glass paneling.

As you can see, the construction of steel buildings is no joke! When properly planned and executed, a steel structure is one of the most reliable solutions. However, it takes a team of dedicated experts to design and successfully implement such a project with the precision required. At Schroeder Construction Management, you’ll find just that.
