What Is Industrial Construction?
In the large world of construction, industrial construction focuses on building manufacturing facilities, including factories or processing plants. These processes are large-scale and require an expert contractor who understands the industry and your needs well.
To help you select the right contractor for your project, this guide will break down what industrial construction is, the services that industrial contractors provide, and why CCI is a name you can trust.
Commercial Versus Industrial Construction
Industrial and commercial construction have much in common from permitting processes to industry partners, so they are often conflated. However, there are some key distinctions between the two.
Commercial construction refers to construction related to a profit-driven business. Examples of commercial construction include restaurants, retail stores, and private schools.
Industrial construction is the term for construction that is related to the business of manufacturing goods and industrial production. This includes manufacturing or power plants, solar wind farms, refineries and more.
While a layperson may not spot the differences between the two sites, the processes of the two are unique, from design to infrastructure to project management. Furthermore, industrial sites are likely to be located on the outskirts of town, while commercial construction occurs within a city or town, where future customers will go.
