What Are Tenant Upfits?

Image

Tenant upfits, also known as tenant improvements or build-outs, refer to the modifications and customizations made to a commercial space to accommodate the operational needs and branding of the tenant. These changes can range from minor cosmetic updates, such as painting and flooring, to significant structural alterations like adding walls, modifying electrical and plumbing systems, and updating HVAC units.

The Tenant Upfit Process

  1. Assessment and Planning: We start with a thorough assessment of the existing space and a detailed discussion with both the owner and tenant to understand their specific wants and requirements.

  2. Design Phase: Our architectural team creates a design plan that aligns with the tenant's vision, incorporating functionality, safety, and compliance with local building codes.

  3. Approval and Permits: We handle all necessary permits and approvals to ensure a smooth and legal transition.

  4. Construction: Our construction teams bring the design to life, ensuring minimal disruption to adjacent spaces and adhering to strict timelines and budgets.

  5. Final Inspection and Handover: We conduct a comprehensive inspection to ensure all work meets our high standards before handing over the space to the tenant.
