More multi-family construction has been filling our communities, allowing small families to have a modern living space or build equity to buy a larger home in the future. Apartments, condos, townhomes, or duplexes can all be constructed with the future and modern amenities in mind. Gurr Construction offers multi-family construction and remodeling to help families, couples, and singles all have a safe and secure place to live.
The Different Construction Phases
Following the proper phases of construction will ensure the success of your project. Construction phases will ensure that all components are completed and nothing is overlooked during the process. Here are what the different phases will look like when it comes to a multi-family project.
Planning
The most important phase of construction is planning and conceptualization. This stage will set the stage for the remainder of the project and allow all professionals to see the full picture before they start work. Surveying the site for any uneven patches or pitfalls will also be done during the planning stage. This will ensure you have the best land, location, and set-ups to make your project a success.
Design
Working with architects, engineers, and permit issuers to create the detailed plan for your project will begin in the design phase. All systems need to work together, so designing and creating a mock-up of a multi-family project will ensure that nothing is missed. Before you implement anything, especially if it seems out of the box, designing it and looking at it through the lens of the professionals will ensure you meet building codes and have a safe living space.
Pre-Construction
Pre-construction is the last step before the hard work begins, looking at the projected timelines and scheduling subcontractor work. Before you break ground or pour the foundation, doing one last check of all areas and collecting payments should be done during pre-construction. Especially when you are building living spaces, having enhanced safety and natural disaster protection is essential for longevity.
Construction
Once all the planning is done, you can begin pouring the foundation, raising walls, installing electrical and plumbing, and completing the finishing touches on your multi-family project. Construction on multi-family projects may take longer than other projects because each small space needs to be a complete living space for the tenants.
Post Construction
Once the building looks complete, there are final checks and inspections that will need to be completed. Especially if people are going to be living there, checking the HVAC system, plumbing, security, and structural integrity is important to give landlords peace of mind. Your construction will not meet local building codes and regulations if these post-construction checks are not completed.

FAQ
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Are The Differences Between Single-Family and Multi-Family Construction?
Single-family homes will sit on their own lot and don’t have neighbors or residents that share walls. Multi-family construction looks like apartments with multiple floors, duplexes that share at least one wall, or other community living where walls or storage spaces are shared with other people. Single-family homes are often more expensive and bigger than the living space of a multi-family option.
Should I Use Project Tracking For My Project?
Project tracking is a process that is used to map out a project, keep every worker on the same page, and ensure clear communication. Scheduling, checklists, and RFIs will help to gather specific information that keeps the project on track. Contractors will often decide if this process is going to be used, but if you are doing some of the work yourself, this can be helpful if you are new to the construction world.
