You might not be familiar with the term “mixed-use construction,” but it has quickly grown to become a major part of the construction industry. So what is it, exactly? And what are the different types? Read on to learn how SERVPRO® can help clean, restore, and repair any kind of mixed-use construction project in the aftermath of disaster or severe property damage.
What is Mixed-Use Construction?
According to Law Insider, mixed-use construction (or as they put it, mixed-use development) is defined as “a building, combination of buildings, or building complex, designed to functionally and physically integrate non-residential uses such as retail, commercial, institutional, recreational, or community uses with residential uses, in a complementary manner.”
Types of Mixed-Use Construction
So, what kinds of mixed-use construction are there? According to WorkYard, there are four sub-types, all of which SERVPRO can help clean and restore after property damage or disaster:
- Vertical Mixed-Use (such as a single building which houses restaurants, offices, and apartments, all on different floors).
- Horizontal Mixed-Use (such as restaurants, offices, apartments, and other property types, all placed generally within the same complex or block).
- Transit-Oriented Developments (such as recreational facilities, residential units, and commercial properties, built around a bus, train, or other transit station).
- Live-Work-Play Communities (such as homes, offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and more, all built in the same area to help reduce commute times and enhance quality of life).
Beyond Mixed-Use Construction
SERVPRO services the reconstruction needs of single, residential homes, and expansive, multi-million square foot commercial properties. Visit the residential construction and commercial construction pages to learn more about these services, and how SERVPRO can help rebuild your property after disaster strikes.
Additionally, SERVPRO offers roof tarping and board-up services, so you can help ensure your property is protected from the elements, vandals, animals, and more when away, or when you simply need to keep your property secure. Because the timeline of reconstruction jobs can vary depending on the size and scope of work, it is often important to utilize this extra layer of protection while cleanup and restoration take place.

Evaluation of the area.
