2.2 Commercial buildings in suburban areas.Many solutions are possible using steel construction. Many smaller buildings are designed for natural ventilation and with a high proportion of renewable energy technologies built into them. In many large commercial buildings, a two stage construction process means that the tenant is responsible for the servicing and fit-out, and so the building structure has to be sufficiently flexible to cope with these differing requirements. Many buildings are curved or of complex architectural form, and have highly glazed façades and atria. Investment ‘value’ is the main criterion for choice of the building architecture, form and servicing strategy. Corporate headquarters for banks and other high profile companies require that buildings are built to high architectural and environmental standards.
There is a strong demand for high quality office space, especially in city centres. For inner city projects, speed of construction and minimum storage of materials on-site require a high level of pre-fabrication, which steel-framed systems can provide.

No responsibility and/or liability is assumed by, or is to be assigned to the Engineer for items beyond those shown on these sheets.** They are not typically retained as the “Engineer of Record” for the Engineering they do for an ADU or Single Family Residence of any size.The dominance of steel in the multi-storey commercial sector is based on tangible client-related benefits including the ability to provide column free floor spans, efficient circulation space, integration of building services, and the influence of the site and local access conditions on the construction process. Design is based upon the information provided by the client, who is solely responsible for accuracy of same. They typical disclaimer on their cover sheet says this: ** Engineer was retained in a limited capacity for this project. I have been making Custom Home plans and Light Commercial projects for more than 25 years, mostly here in Oregon and I have never had any Engineer who provided the Calculations visit even one job site. As are Light Commercial projects up to 4,000 sqft and 35′ ( if I remember correctly).
These kind of buildings are exempt that requirement. You certainly do not need an Engineer and/or Architect for an ADU or Single Family Residence. This is why a good set of Plans will always save you more than they cost you. It is built exactly per the Plans I make for permits. No, they do not ever come to my project sites even if there was some reason to have some “Engineering”. “Engineers always have to be present in construction as they are the ones who make the construction work, they have to be on sight regularly to check the structure out and make further assumptions if need be, with their calculations.”
