Commercial FAQs
What's included in a tenant upfit?
Upfits typically include demolition of existing spaces, rough-in for utilities (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), walls and partitions, flooring, ceiling, lighting, and final finishes. Specific scope depends on lease requirements and use type.
How long does a commercial build-out take?
Small retail or office upfits (1,000–2,000 sqft) take 4–8 weeks. Larger spaces or complex F&B facilities take 8–16 weeks. We provide aggressive timelines and track daily progress.
What permits do commercial projects require?
All commercial build-outs require building permits. F&B spaces need health department approvals. We obtain all necessary permits and coordinate inspections.
Can you work around an operating lease?
Yes, if the space is still occupied during upfit. We coordinate work schedules, manage dust and noise, and work evenings/weekends if needed. Your lease terms dictate the approach.
How are commercial costs estimated?
Commercial projects are bid on square footage, scope of work, and complexity. Most build-outs run $30–$100+ per sqft depending on finishes, utilities, and health/safety codes. We provide fixed-price estimates after site review.
