Commercial Buildings
Occupied space, engineered to code
Commercial use brings requirements residential buildings do not carry: occupancy classification, accessible entrances, egress, fire separation and inspection at multiple stages. The structure is the straightforward part; the approvals process is where projects slip.
What to think about before you order
Engage your local authority early. Stamped drawings for your jurisdiction are produced against the wind, snow and seismic values at your specific address, and the sooner those are on file the sooner the rest of the project can move.
Common uses
- Retail and showroom
- Office and shop combinations
- Service businesses
- Light industrial
Recommended profiles
These are the models that suit commercial buildings best. The right one depends mostly on whether you need usable wall height or the lowest cost per square foot.
