Commercial Construction Process: An Overview Each commercial construction project usually involves a commercial contractor, commercial architect, and commercial engineer. These teams can be housed within one company or can each be separate companies. At APX, our team can take care of every part of the project from start to finish, saving you time and money. After you've decided where you'd like to build, the first step in the process is to get the necessary permits. Once you've obtained all of these legal documents, you can start looking into financing options so that your company has enough money on hand to cover construction projects and design costs. After you've secured the land and a loan, you'll be able to start working on the rest of the project. Here are the steps as they work through the process. Find a location Set a budget for the project Start designing the structure and its elements Commercial engineering (civil and structural) plans Commercial architectural drawings Planning approvals from cities and zoning commission Commercial building permit secured Start construction Post-construction finishing touches Interior design and decorating As you can see, building a commercial space is no small job. If you're looking to get started on a new commercial building project, then reach out to APX Construction Group today.

FAQs

What does it mean to "cure" concrete?

Curing is one of the most important steps in concrete construction, because proper curing greatly increases concrete strength and durability. Concrete hardens as a result of hydration: the chemical reaction between cement and water. However, hydration occurs only if water is available and if the concrete's temperature stays within a suitable range. During the curing period-from five to seven days after placement for conventional concrete-the concrete surface needs to be kept moist to permit the hydration process. New concrete can be wet with soaking hoses, sprinklers or covered with wet burlap, or can be coated with commercially available curing compounds, which seal in moisture.

Why does concrete crack?

Concrete, like all other materials, will slightly change in volume when it dries out. In typical concrete this change amounts to about 500 millionths. Translated into dimensions-this is about 1/16 of an inch in 10 feet (.4 cm in 3 meters). The reason that contractors put joints in concrete pavements and floors is to allow the concrete to crack in a neat, straight line at the joint when the volume of the concrete changes due to shrinkage. When concrete is placed on supporting soil or around steel reinforcement, the concrete mass is prevented from shrinking. This restraint creates internal forces exceeding the strength of concrete. Cracks form to relieve these forces.

Does the presence of cracks indicate a structural problem?

In most instances, the answer is no. Very narrow "hairline" cracks are aesthetic in nature and do not indicate any structural problem. Cracks that have movement where one side of the crack moves relative to the opposite side should be investigated by a professional engineer.

Can I replace wire mesh with fibers?

The answer depends on the intended purpose of installing wire mesh. If control joint spacing exceeds 30 times the concrete thickness, then wire mesh should be used to hold random cracks together. If control joint spacing does not exceed 30 times the concrete thickness, wire mesh can be omitted and fiber can be used to reduce surface cracking resulting from rapid evaporation (plastic shrinkage cracking) and improve fatigue strength.

Where has pervious concrete been used?

Pervious concrete pavements have been identified dating back to 1985. There may be older existing projects still waiting to be identified, though. The confusion is that back then the product was known by such names as no-fines concrete, enhanced porosity concrete (EPC) and even "popcorn concrete." The NRMCA is in the process of compiling a national database of pervious concrete projects.
