Light commercial manufacturing utility buildings are generally of lighter construction than typical light industrial buildings. They are typically used for very light assembly of products such as manufactured housing, RV’s, etc. Walls are either metal over a wood or steel frame. Roof systems are steel, and the floors are concrete.
Small offices, locker and lunchroom areas, with heating can be found at the better qualities. They have more plumbing and lighting than light commercial warehouses in order to service the larger personnel load.
