Cost-Saving Strategies for Commercial Construction

In commercial construction, every dollar matters. From material selections to project timelines, it is important to deliver quality builds that provide long-term value without breaking the bank. That is why construction companies like DESCCO Design & Construction turn to strategic, cost-saving construction techniques to maximize budgets while maintaining high standards. Here are just a few examples that deliver exceptional ROI for your next commercial project.

 

Lean Construction

Lean construction is a method that helps construction companies improve their process efficiency and quality while eliminating waste. It also allows companies to achieve continuous improvement across every phase of the project. This can include minimizing excess material and increasing workflow efficiency. By embracing lean construction practices, teams can complete projects faster and with less resource waste. All of this ultimately cuts costs for clients, while simultaneously enhancing material management and labor optimization.

 

Energy Efficient Materials

Incorporating energy efficient materials is not only good for the planet, but for your budget too. Whether it’s smart glass or cool roofs, investing in energy efficient building materials is an excellent way to reduce your energy costs while lowering your project’s environmental impact. Many energy efficient upgrades qualify for tax incentives or utility rebates, offering immediate financial benefits as well as long term savings.

 

Modular Construction

Modular construction refers to a building method where components are built off-site in a controlled environment and then assembling them on location. This process significantly reduces labor costs, construction timelines, and production waste. Because components are being built off-site, it minimizes the chance for weather delays and quality issues. This is an ideal solution for commercial projects that value cost efficiency, quality control and fast construction.

 

Delivering High ROI Through Smarter Building

Here is an example of how DESCCO Design & Construction can help deliver high ROI for your next project:

 

DESCCO Design & Construction is hired to build a new office for a real estate company. The two top priorities for this project are budget and speed. Keeping that in mind, DESCCO takes the following approach to deliver results without sacrificing quality.

  • Implemented lean construction methods, which cut two weeks off the build time, reducing labor costs.
  • Utilized modular construction for the interior walls and bathrooms, prebuilt and ready to install. This minimized disruption and weather delays.
  • Installed energy efficient windows and roofing, reducing the building’s projected energy use by 35%.

The results were a state-of-the-art office building that was completed under budget and ahead of schedule. For the client, that meant higher ROI and more room in their operating budget.
