While condos and apartments may appear similar from the outside, their construction processes are very different. At Voeller Construction, we’ve delivered both—and understand the unique challenges and priorities that come with each.
Here’s a streamlined breakdown of what sets them apart from a general contractor’s perspective:
1. Ownership Impacts the Build
- Condos are individually owned units.
- Apartments are fully owned and rented out by a single entity.
This difference shapes how we build. Condo projects often involve more custom finishes, buyer-specific requests, and legal coordination. Apartments prioritize efficient, uniform construction with long-term durability in mind.
2. Finishes and Materials
Condo buyers expect premium finishes—think upgraded flooring, custom cabinetry, and smart features. Apartments are typically built with durable, cost-effective materials for easy turnover and maintenance. Voeller tailors every build to the project’s goals, whether that’s market appeal or operational longevity.
3. Financing and Scheduling
Condos often rely on pre-sales and require strict timelines tied to closings. Apartments are funded through projected rental income, offering more flexibility and often allowing phased construction.
We know how to manage both—keeping timelines tight and stakeholders informed.
4. Compliance and Turnover
Condos come with added legal requirements like HOA coordination, individual utility metering, and sound/fire separation. Apartments follow standard code, with simpler turnover processes.
Voeller Construction handles everything from permitting to punch lists, ensuring smooth handoffs for owners, HOAs, and management teams.
