Retail and office

Businesses building out a leased space, refreshing their look or moving offices, almost always against the clock.

Stores and offices that have to open on a set date.

The project type

How we work on these projects

Retail and office work comes with two pressures homes don't have: the opening date and the rent that's already running. Every week of construction is a week of rent with no revenue.

That's why we work to a schedule tied to the opening date and make decisions early: finishes and furniture get locked in at the start, not after construction is underway.

We also take care of what the city will require for the certificate of occupancy, which tends to delay an opening more than the construction itself.

  • Opening date
  • Tenant build-out
  • Office
