Commercial construction products should be well-planned and designed to avoid the types of problems that result from technical errors or unforeseen future business changes. At Murphy Construction, we go the extra mile to make sure the building you want meets your present and future needs. Below are four of the more common technical problems that can develop.

Architectural Appeal

The overall attractiveness of the building is only maximized by accounting for local architectural trends, the ability to blend with or enhance the natural environment, and using a mix of materials that don’t visually conflict. You don’t want to end up with a building design that clashes dramatically with the local architecture or the natural landscape. Although it might seem personally appealing, it could prove difficult to sell if the need arises.

Durability of Materials and Build

Making the wrong choices in building materials for the climate and natural environment or incorrect building methods can contribute to premature failure of the structure. You need to hire a contractor that understands what materials are best for your building use and local climate. Better planning will give your building a longer life.

Long-Term Usability

Has the actual need for use of your commercial building been taken into consideration during the planning and design phase? Have you taken future business growth and changing demands into account? Take the time to expand your thinking and look at the bigger picture. It’s easier to add all of the extra space you’ll need right at the start.

Adaptability Between Businesses

It’s difficult for specialty businesses to create a building that can quickly and easily remodel for other uses. One example is a restaurant. Along with durability, considering the future of changing businesses or selling will help you push for a design that can be easily adapted for another use.
