Residential vs Commercial Construction What is the difference?

Every wondered why construction for residential and commercial projects tends to be different? The main difference lies in the building of both projects where residential is referred to the flats, apartments, and houses, and commercial projects are referred to the industrial and business establishments. Moreover, there are other aspects involved in the estimating for residential construction & commercial project included such as:

Permits and Codes

Both residential and commercial construction have different permits that adhere to the safety codes, especially when heavy machinery and different materials are used.

Building Materials

Since residential projects are smaller, the building material generally used is wood, while the commercial projects incorporate the use of stronger metals such as steel frames and cement.

Equipment Used

With the difference in materials, the use of equipment varies too. For example, commercial projects require heavy machinery to carry the large pieces of equipment to residential properties usually carpenters and stonemasons.

Building Cost

A significant element in residential and commercial construction is the cost that tends to be higher for commercial projects due to the use of different materials and equipment.
