Shell-to-suite conversions and second-generation fit-outs across Tampa Bay — coordinated with your landlord's work letter, your TI allowance, and your opening date.
A buildout isn't just construction — it's a lease obligation with a clock on it. We build tenant spaces in Pinellas, Hillsborough and Highlands counties with the schedule discipline of a commercial GC and the finish standard of a high-end residential builder.
First-generation buildouts from cold dark shell: demising, MEP rough-in, ceilings, lighting, finishes.
Reworking an existing suite for a new tenant — selective demo, reconfiguration, refresh.
We read the landlord's work letter with you and build to it, so nothing falls in the gap between LL work and tenant work.
Documentation, draw requests, and lien releases formatted the way landlords and their lenders expect.
Plans through permit in Hillsborough, Pinellas and Highlands counties — handled, tracked, and communicated weekly.
The most expensive buildout mistakes happen before construction starts — in the lease. A work letter that says "landlord delivers in white-box condition" can mean five different things, and a TI allowance that sounded generous can evaporate into code upgrades the landlord knew about and you didn't.
We do free pre-lease walkthroughs for tenants and their brokers across Tampa Bay, and deliver a written budget estimate within 48 hours — a real number you can take back to the negotiating table.
One point of contact from walkthrough to closeout. A written schedule you can hold us to. Weekly written updates whether the news is good or boring. And a lien-free closeout package — final inspections, releases, warranties — clean enough to hand straight to your landlord.
It depends on scope and permitting. Second-generation refreshes can run a few weeks; full shell-to-suite conversions with plumbing and mechanical work typically run two to four months including permits. We give you a written schedule up front and report against it weekly — and we can give you a realistic timeline for your specific space in a free walkthrough.
Yes — that's the core of what we do. We build to the work letter, document draws the way landlords and lenders require, and close out lien-free with full releases so your allowance reimbursement isn't held up.
Yes. We do free pre-lease walkthroughs and deliver a written budget estimate within 48 hours, so you know what the space will really cost to build out before you commit to it.
