What are the 7 Different Types of Construction?

Construction is a way of life for all of us. Whether we see it on the road, in our cities, or in our neighborhoods, there are many different types of construction happening every day. In fact, there are at least seven different construction project types. If water damage, fire damage, storm damage after severe weather, mold growth, or more strikes your home-in-progress, large-scale commercial construction project, or more, SERVPRO^® can assist with providing cleanup and restoration services for all of them.   

The Seven Types of Construction Projects 

Construction is one of the most diverse industries, according to Workyard. Each one of the seven types of construction projects has its own specific set of skills, challenges, and approaches. Neuroject points out that each of the seven also requires their own materials and equipment.

Whenever your construction project requires cleaning and restoration, look no further than SERVPRO. As the #1 choice in fire and water cleanup and restoration*, technicians across the country are prepared to assist with any type of remediation and repair job for the below project types, and more:

• Residential Construction Projects (which includes “structures used for people to live in,” according to the U.S. Department of Labor). Residential construction projects might include single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses, and more.
• Commercial Construction Projects (such as office buildings, shopping malls, or restaurants).
• Heavy Civil Construction Projects (such as infrastructure and government cleanup projects, including highways, bridges, and tunnels).
• Institutional Construction Projects (such as hospitals or schools).
• Industrial Construction Projects (such as power plants, factories, and warehouses, which are susceptible to commercial fire damage).  
• Green Construction Projects (such as grey water recycling plants, and solar power plants).
• Mixed-Use Construction Projects (such as a building with restaurants, shops, apartments, and/or offices on various floors, or recreational facilities, residential units, and commercial properties built around a bus, train, or other transit station).
