What affects the price
Every estimate is walk-through based. These are the factors that move the number up or down:
- Square footage and scope of interior build
- Finish level — standard, mid-grade, or premium
- Number of interior walls, rooms, and door openings
- Type of tenant (retail, office, medical, food service)
- Timeline urgency and tenant opening date
Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical tenant build-out take?
A standard office or retail build-out runs 3–8 weeks depending on scope. Shell spaces with significant framing can run longer. We'll give you a firm timeline at the estimate.
Do you work directly with landlords or tenants?
Both. We work with property managers, building owners, and incoming tenants. We can coordinate directly with your leasing agent or GC.
Can you handle both the framing and finish carpentry?
Yes — that's our strength. Interior framing, trim packages, door installation, and hardware are all in-house. You won't need to manage separate subs for each phase.
What if the landlord's space doesn't match the tenant's drawings?
We've seen it all. We walk the space first, flag any discrepancies, and adjust the scope before work begins so there are no change-order surprises.
