Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions from Plano retailers and shopping center owners.

What is included in a retail store build-out?

A complete retail store build-out includes everything from shell space to grand opening: demolition and preparation, interior construction (walls, ceilings, millwork), MEP modifications (electrical, HVAC, plumbing), finishes (flooring, paint, fixtures), and final installations. We coordinate with architects, designers, and brand representatives to deliver turnkey retail spaces that meet lease requirements and brand standards.

How long does a retail build-out typically take?

Typical retail build-out timelines range from 8-12 weeks depending on scope and complexity. Simple build-outs (fixtures and finishes only) can be completed in 4-6 weeks, while full shell-to-suit construction requires 10-14 weeks. We work closely with retailers to meet lease commencement dates and grand opening schedules, often using accelerated construction methods and additional crews when needed.

Do you handle both new construction and remodels?

Yes, we handle both new retail construction and existing store remodels. For new spaces, we work from shell condition through complete build-out. For remodels, we assess existing conditions, develop renovation plans, and execute upgrades while minimizing business disruption. Our experience covers everything from small boutique refreshes to major department store overhauls.

How do you ensure compliance with brand standards?

We work directly with brand representatives, architects, and designers to ensure strict compliance with brand standards. This includes approved materials, color palettes, lighting specifications, fixture placements, and merchandising layouts. We maintain detailed documentation throughout construction and coordinate final inspections with brand teams before occupancy.

Can you work during shopping center operating hours?

We specialize in retail construction that minimizes disruption to shopping center operations. Our preferred approach is evening and weekend work during off-peak hours, but we can also phase construction to allow normal center operations. We coordinate extensively with center management, provide detailed scheduling, and use dust control measures to protect adjacent retailers.
