How We Handle Commercial Build-Outs — Step by Step
Site Walk & Scope
We start by walking the space with you — and your landlord or broker, if needed — to understand the scope, your timeline, and any lease or permitting requirements before anything gets designed.
Design, Permitting & a Transparent Quote
We put together a detailed, itemized quote and handle the permitting process, so you know exactly what's included and what to expect before construction starts.
Construction, Built Around Your Timeline
Our own crew leads the build-out and coordinates every trade, working around your lease dates and opening timeline to keep the project on track.
Final Walkthrough & Ready to Open
Before you open your doors, we walk the finished space together to make sure everything's code-compliant, complete, and ready for business.
Common Questions
Commercial Build-Out Questions
A tenant improvement (TI), or build-out, is the construction work that turns a leased commercial space into one that fits a specific business. That can mean new walls and offices, updated restrooms, lighting, flooring, storefronts, break rooms, or a full buildout of an empty shell. TI work is usually done between lease signing and opening day, so a clear scope and schedule are critical.
It depends on your lease. Many landlords offer a tenant improvement allowance, and the tenant covers anything beyond it. The allowance and who manages construction are negotiated in the lease, so get a contractor's estimate early, ideally before you sign. That way you know whether the allowance actually covers what your business needs. We're happy to walk the space with you, your broker, or your landlord.
Almost always. Most commercial interior work, especially anything involving walls, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, requires permits and plan review. Which office reviews your plans depends on whether the space is in the City of Tucson, Pima County, Marana, or Oro Valley. Plan review can take time, so it belongs in your schedule from the start. We handle the permitting process as part of the build-out.
Generally, yes. Commercial alterations are required to meet accessibility standards for the areas being changed. That often includes accessible restrooms, door widths and hardware, counter heights, and clear paths of travel. Accessibility is reviewed as part of the permit process, so it's planned into the design from the beginning rather than fixed after the fact.
Lock in your scope early, order long-lead items right away, and start permitting as soon as the plans are ready. Delays usually come from late design changes, backordered fixtures or equipment, and permit timing. We build the schedule backward from your opening date and coordinate every trade, so you know where the project stands each week.
