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.
