Commercial constructions

A commercial building is designed for selling products, providing services, carrying out administrative work or receiving members of the public. It may be a shop, showroom, shopping centre, vehicle service centre, company headquarters or another space developed around a specific business activity.

Comsales Grup builds these properties according to the client’s operations and the characteristics of the site. Access, parking, deliveries, internal layout and indoor comfort are planned so that the building works well for staff and is easy for customers to use.

What Should Be Considered When Developing the Building?

The structure and internal layout must suit the retail areas, staff facilities, technical rooms and delivery flow. Ventilation, heating, air conditioning, water supply and electrical systems are determined according to the activities carried out in each part of the building.

Pedestrian and vehicle access, parking, evacuation routes and site landscaping are equally important. To define these elements correctly, Comsales Grup also provides design services tailored to the building’s purpose, site conditions and technical requirements.

What Types of Commercial Buildings Can Be Developed?

A supermarket requires clear routes between the sales floor, storage area and delivery zone, while a shopping centre must accommodate several operators and a larger number of visitors. In a showroom, visibility, lighting and product presentation are particularly important.

Office and administrative building projects may include workspaces, meeting rooms and supporting facilities. A vehicle service centre has different technical requirements, including vehicle access, equipment areas and adequate ventilation. For larger operations, a workshop with several service bays can be developed.

A car wash requires durable flooring, a reliable water supply and controlled wastewater drainage. A sports hall, in turn, needs generous clear spans, changing facilities and building systems sized for the expected number of users.

How Is a Commercial Building Constructed?

1. Assessment of the activity and site – the building’s purpose, floor area, number of storeys, customer flow, delivery access, parking and available utilities are established.
2. Preparation of the technical solution – the structure, internal layout, façade, building services, evacuation routes and external works are defined. The way equipment will be integrated into each area is also reviewed.
3. Construction work – the foundations, load-bearing structure, walls, roof and utility networks are completed. This is followed by windows and doors, building services and preparation of the internal and external areas.
4. Finishing and commissioning – the finishes, façade, lighting, parking and landscaping are completed, followed by the necessary technical inspections.

The programme varies from one project to another. A straightforward building may be completed within several months, while a large centre with several storeys, complex building systems or extensive external works will require more time.

Advantages of a Well-Built Commercial Property

Space Suited to the Activity

The internal layout is planned around the services provided, equipment, staff and customer routes, allowing the building to operate without costly alterations after opening.

Convenient Access

Entrances, parking and delivery routes are organised to prevent congestion and provide easy access for customers, employees and suppliers.

Suitable Building Services

Ventilation, heating, air conditioning, water and power supplies are sized for the way each area will be used and coordinated with the building structure.

Potential for Expansion

The space can be prepared for a different layout, additional equipment or a future extension as the business develops.

Who Needs a Commercial Building?

These commercial properties are suitable for companies that work directly with the public, sell products, provide services or require administrative premises. Customer areas, offices, auxiliary storage, technical rooms and staff facilities can all be combined within one building.

Commercial construction projects in Moldova are commonly required by:

• retailers and shop chains;
• supermarket operators;
• shopping centre investors;
• distributors that need showrooms;
• companies opening offices or administrative headquarters;
• owners of vehicle service centres and car washes;
• petrol station operators;
• organisations developing sports halls;
• investors preparing commercial units for rent.

In commercial construction, the building and the site should be treated as one complete project. Visibility from the road, access, parking, delivery routes and the possibility of future expansion all have a direct impact on how well the property will operate.

From Design to a Building Ready for Use

Comsales Grup can coordinate the development of the technical solution, structural production, construction and preparation of the property for operation. Having the same team manage these stages reduces the risk of inconsistencies between the structure, internal layout, building services and finishes.

The scope of work is set out in the contract. Depending on the project, it may include the foundations, structure, walls, roof, utility networks, windows and doors, finishes and site landscaping.
