Mixed-use property development has been steadily gaining popularity over the years, and it’s become increasingly clear that this trend is not going away anytime soon.

In urban areas like Miami, being able to access work, life and play remains important and in high-demand. Luxury office spaces in particular are commanding premium prices, especially as more businesses relocate their headquarters to South Florida.

The construction logistics surrounding mixed-use developments, however, pose their own challenges, and high-rise construction projects require construction teams to be adept at managing logistics as well as understanding how the units are serviced to avoid potential pitfalls.

Construction Logistics When It Comes to Office Development in High Rises

Office space build-outs in high-rise buildings require intense planning. Important components include understanding the building itself, its fire alarm system, and how each unit gets serviced for things like air and temperature controls. Everything about the building must be assessed and analyzed in advance.

In terms of construction, you must also be mindful of high-noise and high-impact work, such as demolition and concrete cutting. Here are a few other logistical considerations you must take into account when renovating in high-rise buildings:

• The logistics of how you are going to get materials up and down floors
• How you will plan your work around the building’s hours of operation
• What you need to know about the building’s mechanical system
• How you will abide by the building’s rules for vendors (i.e., some only allow you to move in on certain days or renovate during specific windows of time.)

Logistical challenges like these can significantly impact a project if not planned for accordingly.
