At Benchmark Houston Builders, we’re always looking to stay on the forefront of commercial construction trends so we can best serve our clients. Interested in emerging commercial construction trends for 2025? Read on to learn more!
Smart Integration
A top commercial construction trend for 2025 is smart integration. Smart integration optimizes building efficiency and energy use through the integration of smart technology devices. The most efficient buildings don’t just have smart devices– they themselves also serve as a smart device. A building automation system can be created in a way that centralizes all smart building control systems into one place. This includes systems like lighting, security access, doors, energy management, fire alarm systems, air conditioning and more. While it may be more expensive to build smart integration into your commercial construction project initially, it can increase efficiency and save you money in your day-to-day operations and in the long run.
Eco-Friendly Practices & Materials
Building for the future also involves making sure we have a future. Trending in 2025, we expect more commercial construction to involve the use of eco-friendly practices and materials. One such eco-friendly practice is the use of solar panels for energy. The sun is a natural, renewable energy source, and is a great way to power your commercial building. We can also promote more sustainable purchasing as a means of eco-friendly practices in the commercial construction industry in 2025. Building with recycled materials, limiting waste and using local suppliers are all ways companies can be more eco-friendly. By adopting practices and procedures that minimize a negative impact on the environment, we can help create a cleaner world.
Natural Lighting
Natural lighting is a commercial construction trend we expect to see more of in the next calendar year. The use of big windows and natural light can be maximized when careful consideration and planning is put into how a building is constructed. Not only will the use of natural light reduce your energy bill and save you money, but natural light has also been proven to increase happiness. Using mirrors and placing workstations near windows are other ways to maximize the natural light you have.
Modern Office Spaces
Just like natural light can increase mood, the way a space is set up can impact workplace productivity, creativity, and employee happiness. Now more than ever, we are seeing more companies putting an emphasis in creating modern office spaces to help them get the most out of their employees. Modern office spaces have many open spaces and flexible seating options to encourage collaboration. Many offices are also integrating play somewhere in the office– be that with a ping pong table, workout room, or golf simulator. What exactly is ideal for your company depends on you and your employees, but we expect to see companies be more creative with office spaces in 2025. .
