Tenant improvement construction transforms commercial spaces to meet specific tenant requirements, enabling property owners to attract and retain quality tenants throughout North Texas. As your general contractor, we manage complete tenant improvement programs—from scope definition and budgeting through construction and turnover—delivering spaces that meet tenant operations while protecting owner investments.
Tenant improvements balance landlord and tenant interests within lease economics. Landlords provide improvement allowances defined in lease agreements. Tenants specify requirements meeting operational needs. Building codes govern construction standards. Our project managers navigate these requirements delivering improvements satisfying all parties while controlling costs.
Successful tenant improvements require sophisticated coordination. Design must meet tenant brand standards while complying with building systems and codes. Construction must avoid disrupting existing tenants. Schedules must meet tenant occupancy deadlines. Budgets must align with improvement allowances and market economics. We manage these factors delivering tenant spaces on time and budget.
For property owners, quality tenant improvements affect lease rates, tenant retention, and property values. Professional construction attracts premium tenants. Appropriate scope controls improvement costs. Timely delivery enables revenue generation. We deliver tenant improvements that enhance both property performance and tenant satisfaction.

Tenant Improvement Construction FAQs
Who pays for tenant improvements in commercial leases?
Lease agreements define tenant improvement (TI) economics. Landlord typically provides TI allowance (often $20-60/SF depending on market and lease term). Tenant pays overages beyond allowance. Sometimes tenants self-fund improvements receiving rent credits. As general contractor, we work for whoever contracts us—either owner or tenant.
How long do tenant improvements typically take?
Timeline depends on improvement scope. Simple office refresh might take 4-6 weeks. Full build-out with new MEP systems takes 8-12 weeks. Retail with kitchen equipment may need 12-16 weeks. We expedite when tenants have firm opening deadlines.
Can tenant improvements be done in occupied buildings?
Yes. We regularly work in occupied buildings. Construction is scheduled to minimize disruption. Noisy work during off-hours when needed. Dust control protects adjacent spaces. Access routes maintain building operations. We coordinate with property management throughout.
Do you handle permitting for tenant improvements?
Yes. We coordinate all required permits including building permit for construction work, MEP permits for mechanical/electrical/plumbing, fire marshal approvals for life safety systems, health department permits if food service involved. We expedite permit review when tenants have tight schedules.
