At Ataman Studio, we transform commercial concepts into profitable, code‑compliant realities. From ground‑up builds to tenant improvements and interior fit‑outs, our team delivers start‑to‑finish support for businesses across California—helping owners, developers, and investors bring ambitious commercial projects to life on schedule and within budget.
A commercial project is any non‑residential build or renovation intended for business use, including:
1.Office buildings & co‑working spaces.
2.Retail stores, restaurants & cafés.
3.Hospitality venues, hotels & boutique lodging.
4.Industrial warehouses & light‑manufacturing facilities.
5.Medical, dental & wellness clinics.
6.Educational & civic buildings.
We begin with a collaborative meeting to understand your vision, brand objectives, space requirements, budget, and timeline. This stage lays the foundation for a clear, aligned project roadmap.
Our team develops test-fit layouts, 3D massing studies, and initial concept visuals to explore space planning options. We also provide a preliminary cost review to ensure feasibility early on.
We refine architectural plans, select finishes and materials, and coordinate with structural, MEP, and other engineers. The goal is a fully detailed design package ready for permit submission and builder pricing.
We manage the permit process, coordinate with city officials, and help identify and vet qualified commercial contractors. This step ensures your project remains on schedule and within scope.
During the build phase, we conduct regular site visits, manage RFIs and submittals, and perform punch-list inspections. We stay involved through final occupancy sign-off to ensure quality and compliance.
Throughout each phase, you’ll receive clear deliverables and consistent updates—ensuring transparency, accountability, and full control over your commercial project from day one.
Small interior remodels can complete in 3–5 months, while ground‑up buildings run 12–18 months, depending on size, permitting, and site complexity.
Interior tenant improvements usually range from $120–$250 / sq ft. Ground‑up shell construction starts around $250 / sq ft for tilt‑up industrial and $400 / sq ft for steel‑framed offices. Early cost modeling is included in our feasibility phase.
Yes. We can lead as the design team of record, join a design-build collaboration, or provide owner-representation and peer review for out-of-state design teams.
Our permitting specialists prepare all submittals, attend plan‑check meetings, and coordinate required special inspections—structural, energy, fire‑life safety—until a final certificate of occupancy is issued.
Absolutely. We develop functional and branded interior layouts for offices, retail, and hospitality projects—aligning design with your operational and aesthetic goals.
