Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our construction services in this area.
What is a tenant improvement (TI) build-out?
A tenant improvement is the construction work done to customize a leased commercial space for a specific tenant's use. This typically includes framing new walls, adding or relocating MEP systems, installing ceilings and flooring, building out restrooms and specialty areas, and finishing the space to the tenant's brand or operational standards. The scope is agreed upon between tenant and landlord in the lease, often with a TI allowance provided by the landlord to offset construction costs.
Do you pull permits for tenant improvement projects?
Yes. As the licensed GC (CBC1265699), we pull all required building permits for tenant improvement projects through the applicable city or county building department. Permitted construction protects the tenant's business, satisfies the landlord's insurance requirements, and is required for Certificate of Occupancy — which is the document that legally authorizes the business to open.
How do TI allowances work with your contract?
Tenant improvement allowances are funds provided by the landlord to offset the cost of building out the space. We document all TI work to meet the landlord's reimbursement requirements — itemized invoices, lien waivers, permit documentation — and coordinate landlord approval milestones required to release allowance disbursements. We have extensive experience working within TI allowance structures across Palm Beach County's commercial market.
How long does a typical tenant improvement take?
Timeline depends on the size and complexity of the space. A standard office or retail TI in a 1,000–3,000 SF space runs 6–10 weeks from permit issuance to CO. Specialty spaces with complex MEP — medical, food service, fitness — run 10–16 weeks. Permitting through Palm Beach County municipalities typically adds 6–10 weeks before construction begins.
