Office renovations are typically lighter on MEP than restaurants or medical offices — which is why the pricing is lower, usually around $60–$80 per sq ft for a straightforward renovation. But 'straightforward' is doing a lot of work in that sentence. An office with significant HVAC re-zoning, upgraded electrical for technology infrastructure, ADA restroom upgrades, or a major floor plan reconfiguration moves well past that baseline.
The biggest variable in office renovation is almost always the existing condition of the space. A Class A office that's been well-maintained moves differently than an older building with outdated electrical, undersized HVAC, or original plumbing that hasn't been touched in decades. The second biggest variable is ownership decisions made during construction — finishes, layouts, added features — that individually seem minor but cumulatively move the budget. We identify those risks during preconstruction so owners make informed decisions before construction starts, not after.
We work on office renovations ranging from single-suite refreshes to multi-floor repositioning projects. The key on any office project is understanding the tenant's operational needs — how the team works, what technology infrastructure is required, what the space needs to project to clients — and building a space that supports all of that, not just a space that looks good in photos.
Delray Beach has one of the most active food and beverage corridors in Palm Beach County — Atlantic Avenue draws regional traffic and a consistent stream of new restaurant and bar concepts. The City of Delray Beach's building department has its own review timeline and process. Downtown Delray moves fast commercially, which means delays hurt more here than in slower markets. Operators who open on schedule in Delray tend to capture momentum. Those who don't spend extra months watching rent run while the space sits idle.

Why Pajaziti & Associates for Office Renovation in Delray Beach
Office renovations require a GC who understands that the building is occupied by a business with real operational constraints. Noise restrictions, after-hours work requirements, phased construction around active tenants, and dust control in occupied buildings are part of the job. We manage those constraints without making them an excuse for slow execution. The goal is a finished space that supports the way the team actually works — not just a space that looks good in the listing photos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our construction services in this area.
What does a commercial office renovation include?
A commercial office renovation typically includes demolition of existing improvements, reframing to new layout, updating HVAC and electrical distribution, installing new ceilings and lighting, flooring replacement, restroom upgrades, and all interior finishes. We pull the required building permit and deliver a Certificate of Occupancy upon completion.
Do you renovate occupied office buildings?
We can phase office renovation work to minimize disruption to active tenants, including after-hours and weekend work schedules for the most disruptive phases. Phased renovation in occupied buildings requires detailed coordination between construction activities and active building operations — we manage that coordination as part of the project scope.
How long does an office renovation take?
A straightforward office renovation of 2,000–5,000 SF typically runs 8–14 weeks from permit issuance to CO. Full gut renovations of larger spaces or buildings with significant MEP updates run longer. We build the project schedule around your operational requirements and business continuity needs.
Do you handle office renovation permits in Palm Beach County?
Yes. We manage the full permit process — drawings, submittal, review coordination, inspections, and CO — through the applicable city or county building department. Office renovation permits in Palm Beach County municipalities typically take 4–8 weeks to issue for straightforward commercial work.
