Popular FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a tenant improvement and a commercial buildout?
Tenant improvements (TIs) typically refer to renovations or customizations made to existing leased spaces, often with partial funding from a landlord's TI allowance. Commercial buildouts generally involve more extensive construction, often in shell spaces or new buildings. TI projects focus on adapting spaces for specific tenant needs while working within building standards and lease requirements. Our expertise spans both project types, and we can help determine which approach best fits your situation.
How long does a typical tenant improvement project take?
Most tenant improvement projects take between 4-12 weeks depending on scope, complexity, and permitting requirements. Simple office refreshes might require just 4-6 weeks, while more complex medical or restaurant TIs typically need 8-12 weeks or more. During our planning process, we develop realistic timelines that account for permitting, material lead times, and construction sequencing to ensure efficient project completion.
Can you work with our TI allowance and help us maximize its value?
Absolutely. We have extensive experience working with tenant improvement allowances and can help you strategically allocate these funds to maximize impact. Our detailed estimating process identifies where your allowance will provide the greatest return, and we work closely with landlords and property managers to ensure proper documentation for allowance disbursement. For improvements beyond your allowance, we provide clear cost breakdowns so you can make informed decisions about additional investments.
How do you minimize business disruption during tenant improvements?
We implement several strategies to minimize disruption: developing phased construction plans that allow continued operations in portions of your space; scheduling noisy or disruptive work during off-hours; installing temporary barriers and dust containment systems; maintaining clear communication about utility interruptions; and working efficiently to reduce overall project duration. For businesses remaining operational during renovations, we establish specific protocols with your team to ensure safety and minimize impact on daily operations.
