Commercial Buildings
Commercial Building Construction in Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA
Commercial building construction requires a high level of coordination, technical skill, and familiarity with local codes and zoning. At C.J. Skeeles General Contractor, commercial construction is a primary focus of our work throughout Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA and the surrounding East Bay. From ground-up developments to buildouts and structural retrofits, we specialize in delivering commercial buildings that are functional, durable, and tailored to the needs of the business or tenant.
Unlike residential work, commercial buildings come with stricter requirements for accessibility, fire safety, and occupancy classification. Our experience navigating these complexities ensures that every project we take on proceeds with clarity, accountability, and full compliance.
Ground-Up Commercial Construction
When a business or property owner is ready to develop a new structure, ground-up construction offers complete flexibility and control. Whether it’s a single-tenant office, a multi-unit retail strip, or a service facility, we provide full-scale project delivery from the foundation to the final trim.
We begin with feasibility assessments and site planning to determine setbacks, parking minimums, and utility access. Our team then manages excavation, grading, and concrete work, followed by framing, roofing,
and all structural systems. From slab to storefront, we deliver shell or turnkey buildings that meet business needs now and in the future.
We frequently work with architects, engineers, and city planners throughout the Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA area to ensure that new construction aligns with both the building code and the project’s long-term use.
Tenant Improvements and Buildouts
In existing commercial spaces, tenant improvements and buildouts are often necessary before occupancy. Whether you’re converting an empty suite into a dental office or reworking a retail floor plan for a new brand, we help configure the space to match your operational requirements.
Tenant improvements often involve interior framing, MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) coordination, drop ceilings, and ADA-compliant upgrades. In Hayward, Oakland, and San Francisco, CA commercial zones, these projects typically require multiple permits and inspections, especially when life safety systems like sprinklers or alarms are impacted.
Our team works directly with landlords, business owners, and leasing agents to meet tight schedules and minimize downtime, ensuring the space is ready when you need it.
Zoning, Permitting, and Code Compliance
Commercial building projects often involve multiple layers of approval beyond a simple building permit. Zoning reviews, use classifications, and environmental requirements all play a role in whether a project can proceed as envisioned.
Our team manages this process on your behalf by:
- Coordinating with the City of Hayward’s Planning Department
- Preparing detailed site plans and architectural documents
- Submitting for plan check and coordinating inspections
- Ensuring compliance with Title 24 energy standards and CALGreen regulations
This level of oversight helps prevent costly redesigns and keeps the project aligned with local timelines.
