Construction Management – Designing a Commercial Building
Take the role of a construction manager tasked with consulting with an architect who is in the process of designing a mid-rise, mixed-use commercial building in a congested urban environment near your community.
The owner of this commercial building has specified that the ground and second floors should have sufficient space flexibility to allow for a variety of potential tenants. Possible ground floor tenants may include grocery stores, urgent care medical facilities, and similar service-oriented spaces that require larger floor-to-ceiling heights and that have to challenge HVAC and electrical needs.
Possible second-floor tenants are anticipated to be law offices, investment brokers, and similar professional spaces. The upper floors will be residential condominiums. These spaces should be energy efficient and constructed so that all utility billing (domestic water, HVAC costs, etc.) can be charged to individual condominium owners. To the extent possible, the owner would like this project to be a green commercial property.
To assist the architect in his design, Write a report that answers his questions and includes your recommendations.
