Leased space
Tenant improvement
Translate headcount, workflow, customer experience, equipment and brand requirements into a coordinated plan.
Tenant improvements + renovations + small commercial builds
Build the space around the business that must operate there.
Commercial design-build connects the business program and property conditions with landlord criteria, approvals, building systems, procurement and field logistics.
Define the business requirement behind the square footage.
Commercial scope begins with how the property needs to operate, who approves decisions and how the work can be sequenced.
Active operations
Occupied renovation
Sequence work around operating hours, shutdowns, access, noise, dust, security and temporary routes.
Building change
Small build + repositioning
Connect program, site conditions, building systems, approvals and phased occupancy with the delivery strategy.
The construction plan must recognize how the property is used.
Operational planning assigns owners to access, continuity, phasing and vendor interfaces before field work begins.
Preconstruction
Turn drawings into an executable field plan.
Review whether the proposed design can be procured, approved and built within the property's constraints.
- Document basis
- Completeness, constructability, landlord criteria and authority submissions.
- Building systems
- MEP tie-ins, shutdowns, testing and commissioning interfaces.
- Schedule
- Baseline logic, phased milestones and release conditions.
- Procurement
- Scope packages, trade interfaces, long-lead equipment and submittal sequence.
- Site logistics
- Deliveries, waste, access, security and temporary protection.
- Commercial basis
- Allowances, contingencies, excluded work and owner responsibilities.
- Handover
- Training, O&M information and closeout requirements.
Stakeholder updates
Give each stakeholder the same current picture.
A commercial update links field progress with the milestone schedule, near-term disruptions, procurement status and required decisions.

Use these questions to establish constraints before the build is committed.
Can work proceed while the business remains open?
Sometimes, but the answer depends on the scope, building rules, systems, access, noise, dust, utilities and operational tolerance.
Who coordinates landlord requirements?
The project agreement should identify responsibility for landlord criteria, submissions, approvals, inspections and closeout.
What are owner-furnished, contractor-installed items?
Items purchased by the owner but installed under the construction scope. Procurement dates, delivery, storage, warranty, rough-ins and installation responsibilities must be coordinated.
When is phased turnover useful?
Phased turnover can support operations, but adds temporary conditions, inspections and logistics. Release criteria should be defined during planning.
