Commercial

Commercial construction

Retail, restaurant, clinic and multi-unit work delivered by the same team, to the same standard, on a schedule that respects the fact you have a business to run.

The work

Commercial work runs on different constraints than residential. Landlord approvals, base-building conditions, barrier-free requirements, occupancy timing and the cost of every extra day closed all shape the plan before a single wall goes up.

We build the schedule around your operating reality — after-hours work, phased possession, or a hard opening date — and we hold to it. Where an existing space is being converted, we open it up early so surprises land in week one rather than week nine.

The result should be a space that survives commercial traffic. Materials, substrates and detailing are chosen for use, not just for the render.

Typical duration
8 – 26 weeks depending on scope
Permits
Building, plumbing, electrical, HVAC; landlord approvals
Sectors
Retail, food service, clinics, professional, multi-unit
Delivery
Fit-out, renovation, conversion and base-building upgrades

How we build it

What's included, and why it matters

01

Landlord and base-building coordination

Drawings, insurance, work letters and approvals managed with the property manager so possession isn't held up by paperwork.

02

Barrier-free compliance

Accessible entries, washrooms, clearances and hardware built to code and to the standard your customers should expect.

03

Mechanical and electrical

HVAC, lighting, power distribution and life-safety coordinated with the trades and inspected before closeout.

04

Schedule discipline

Phased or after-hours work where the business must keep operating, with a critical path we publish and track.
