What We Build

Commercial and industrial construction services

Warehouse & Distribution

New construction and retrofits for warehouse, distribution, and cold-storage facilities. Dock doors, clear heights, floor flatness tolerances — specified and delivered.

Manufacturing Facilities

Build-outs for light and heavy manufacturing: overhead cranes, reinforced slabs, industrial electrical, compressed air, exhaust ventilation, and floor drains.

Flex Industrial Units

Subdivisions and conversions of flex industrial space for multi-tenant occupancy. Demising walls, separate utilities, individual grade-level access.

Commercial Build-Outs

Retail, restaurant, medical, and professional office fit-outs from shell to turnkey. Tenant improvement allowance coordination included.

Office Renovation

Interior office remodels, open-plan conversions, conference room additions, and ADA upgrades — phased around your operating hours to minimize downtime.

Site & Civil Work

Parking lot construction, stormwater, utility connections, and site grading coordinated with your civil engineer and the AHJ from permit through final inspection.

Our Process

A single GC from feasibility to certificate of occupancy

Commercial and industrial projects fail when too many parties share accountability. We operate as the single point of responsibility — design coordination, permitting, all trades, and inspections — so schedule slippage and scope disputes don’t fall through the cracks between contractors.

Every estimate starts with a free 3D Matterport scan of the existing space. You get dimensioned as-built drawings before we quote, so the number we give you is based on the actual conditions, not assumptions.

01

Site scan & feasibility

Free Matterport 3D scan and as-built drawings. We walk the site and flag any conditions that affect scope or schedule before pricing.

02

Line-item estimate

Detailed scope with material specs and labor broken out by trade. No lump-sum surprises mid-project.

03

Permit & mobilize

We pull all permits, coordinate AHJ inspections, and build a CPM schedule before breaking ground.

04

Build & close out

Superintendent on-site daily. Punch list cleared, CO in hand, as-built drawings delivered at project close.

Why Clifton Development Group

What commercial and industrial clients need from a GC

Industrial construction has tolerances and code requirements that residential work doesn’t. Floor loading, seismic anchorage for equipment, fire suppression for hazardous occupancies, OSHA-compliant access during phased construction — these details separate a competent commercial GC from one that figures it out as they go.

We’ve managed over 500 commercial and industrial projects across Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga Springs, and surrounding counties. Our project managers carry OSHA 30 certifications and our superintendents average over a decade of commercial field experience.

The free Matterport scan isn’t a sales gimmick — it’s how we avoid change orders. When we measure before we quote, the number we give you reflects the real project.

In-house estimating

No outsourced takeoffs. Our estimators walk every site and build the number from actual conditions, not per-SF averages.

All-trade coordination

Civil, structural, MEP, fire protection, and specialty systems coordinated under one contract. One call for every issue.

Occupied-building experience

Phased construction in operating facilities is a specialty. We keep your workforce safe and your operation running during renovation.

FAQ

Common questions about commercial & industrial construction

What types of commercial projects do you take on?
Warehouses, manufacturing facilities, flex industrial, office renovations, retail and restaurant build-outs, medical offices, and mixed-use commercial. If it requires a commercial building permit in New York State, we handle it.
Do you work on occupied buildings?
Yes. Phased construction in operating facilities is a core capability. We sequence work to keep your team productive — noisy demo goes off-hours, finish work happens during regular business hours, and hazard zones are isolated per OSHA Part 1926.
How do you handle permitting for industrial projects?
We manage the entire permit process — submittals, AHJ coordination, fire marshal review, and inspections. For projects requiring a registered design professional, we coordinate with the EOR and architect of record so you have a single project manager, not three separate vendors.
What is the free 3D scan?
We use a Matterport Pro camera to produce a dimensioned 3D model and floor plan of the existing space before we quote. You keep the deliverables regardless of who you hire. It’s how we eliminate “unforeseen conditions” surprises after contract signing.
What areas do you serve?
Albany, Schenectady, Troy, Saratoga Springs, Clifton Park, Halfmoon, Malta, Ballston Spa, Cohoes, Watervliet, and surrounding Capital Region communities. No travel surcharge within our service area.
