COMMERCIAL
BUILDINGS
OFFICES
Business centers, office buildings. These are premises for organizing and administering the work of companies, institutions, organizations. They include workspaces, meeting areas, common zones, relaxation areas, etc. In these buildings, not only functionality is important but also aesthetics, as the office represents the company.
RETAIL OBJECTS
Shopping centers, stores, marketplaces. These can be small shops or large shopping malls or retail parks.
ACCOMMODATION FACILITIES
Hotels, motels, apartment complexes, guest houses, etc. The construction of these commercial buildings is characterized by high requirements for comfort, hygiene, and engineering systems.
ENTERTAINMENT FACILITIES
Cinemas, sports arenas, restaurants, night clubs, etc. These commercial buildings are intended for leisure, cultural, and sports activities – such buildings require large open spaces, complex acoustic, lighting, and customer flow management solutions. Particularly strict safety requirements apply due to high visitor flows.
TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS BUILDINGS
Gas stations, car showrooms, service centers. The construction of these commercial buildings involves special ventilation and safety solutions, durable, resistant surfaces, a clear structure of functional zones, and other aspects ensuring safe and high-quality commercial activity.
FEATURES OF COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS
Commercial buildings are designed for business activity. These can be business centers and offices, hotels and guest houses, shopping and entertainment centers, cinemas, restaurants, cafés, stores, marketplaces, arenas, car service centers, car showrooms, gas stations. The diversity of commercial buildings is vast, making each commercial building project unique.
Commercial buildings have different specifics compared to industrial or agricultural facilities. The main goals when designing and constructing commercial buildings are functionality (based on business needs), comfort for customers, and representative building appearance.
Commercial buildings must combine functionality and aesthetics. These are spaces not only for employees but also for clients and partners. This combination of functionality and representation is relevant for business centers, retail facilities, accommodation buildings, and other commercial-purpose structures.
The diversity of commercial buildings results in high demands for companies executing such projects. Every project requires specific knowledge, experience with complex and large-scale construction, and individual solutions tailored to the client’s needs.
KEY SPECIFICS
PURPOSE
As with industrial or agricultural buildings, the first question in commercial building construction is: what is the building’s purpose?
This determines architectural, engineering, technological, and structural solutions. Commercial buildings stand out because they must also be representative – thus solutions must be both functional and aesthetic.
The specificity of commercial buildings also means that different solutions often need to be implemented within the same structure. For example, shopping centers have shops, restaurants, cinemas, entertainment zones. Business centers include office spaces as well as fitness clubs or restaurants.
COMBINATION OF FUNCTIONALITY AND AESTHETICS
Each commercial building project is developed based on its purpose – spaces, design, and other elements are planned accordingly. In commercial buildings, efficient space planning is especially important: staff and customer service areas, sanitary facilities, storage rooms, etc. Accessibility is also critical due to high foot traffic: elevators, access for people with disabilities, etc. Alongside functionality, design is crucial – both facade and interior. For business centers and offices, a comfortable, cozy work environment and also for representational purposes are equally important. In such buildings, design must reflect the company’s image, and space layout must support the activities carried out.
In office building construction, versatility is often necessary, as premises may be rented by various companies – this requires efficient spatial planning solutions.
STRUCTURAL SOLUTIONS, ENGINEERING SYSTEMS, SAFETY
In commercial buildings, visitor flow management is a key concern, which leads to strict safety requirements: convenient entrances, spacious areas, evacuation routes.
Facades typically feature modern solutions: large display windows, unique shapes, minimalist design. Structures use strong, durable materials that ensure building stability and safety.
Commercial buildings are equipped with engineering systems adapted to their purpose. In high-traffic spaces such as malls, entertainment centers, and arenas, powerful, high-quality ventilation, cooling, fire safety, security, and video surveillance systems are essential.
COMMERCIAL BUILDING CONSTRUCTION
At “Heko”, we carry out construction works for various types of commercial buildings. We manage the entire process – from initial consultation, ideas, and planning to obtaining all necessary permits and delivering the completed project.
Consultation and planning form one of the key stages of the service. During this phase, we meet with the client to determine their needs and expectations. Once we establish the type of commercial building required, we assess the plot and legal aspects, followed by the design process.
An architectural design is prepared (exterior design, functional layout), along with structural solutions (selection of main materials and technologies), engineering systems project, and the necessary building permits are obtained. If needed, we can also create 3D visualizations.
The next stage is construction: site preparation and foundation installation, structural assembly, engineering system integration, interior and exterior finishing; installation of specialized zones (elevators, escalators, fire safety systems, server rooms, etc.).
Finally, the last stage is safety and quality inspection. We handle all required documentation and formalities, including energy performance certificate.
If required, we can also perform additional services: landscaping works (parking lot installation, etc.), interior design, or post-construction technical maintenance.
PLANNING AND DESIGN
During the first stage of commercial building construction, an analysis is carried out – determining the required size, design, purpose, and function of the building. A plot is selected – infrastructure is considered, including parking and accessibility. Necessary legal permits are secured – land use planning and construction permits. Design work is carried out – architectural solutions and engineering systems.
CONSTRUCTION
At this stage, the foundations for the commercial building are laid (depending on the building size and site conditions). Structures are assembled – steel, reinforced concrete, or modular solutions. Engineering systems are installed: electrical, heating, plumbing, ventilation. Interior and exterior finishing is completed – floors, walls, facade; required equipment is installed.
COMMISSIONING AND OPERATION
A construction quality inspection is conducted, legal documentation is prepared, and all necessary permits are obtained. The building is officially commissioned for use.
SAFETY AND ORDER
Our team ensures continuous supervision of construction works and quality control throughout the project. We respond promptly to any issues that arise. Earning our clients’ trust, ensuring the well-being of our employees, and fostering long-term partnerships are of utmost importance to us. High-quality and safe execution enables us to build and maintain that trust.
Our priorities are quality, efficiency, innovation, transparency, and sustainability. We strive to meet the highest quality standards in every project we undertake, implementing the latest technologies, optimizing processes, pursuing environmentally friendly solutions, and communicating openly with both clients and partners.
ECOLOGY
Sustainability is one of our core priorities. We recognize that the construction and engineering sectors can have a significant environmental impact. That is why we are committed to minimizing our ecological footprint by implementing sustainable, environmentally responsible solutions and promoting the efficient and responsible use of resources.
