What's Included in Our Tenant Build-Outs & Improvements Service
Tenant build-outs live and die on permit timing. We know the Oakland County inspection schedule and build our timelines around it. A late rough-in inspection can push your occupancy permit by weeks — and every week is a week you're paying rent without generating revenue.
We handle complete tenant improvements for Southeast Michigan businesses: demolition, partition wall framing and drywall, acoustical ceilings, electrical and data wiring, HVAC ductwork modifications, plumbing, commercial flooring, painting, and finish carpentry. We coordinate licensed subs for mechanical and electrical trades. You deal with one contract and one point of contact from permit application to certificate of occupancy.
ADA accessibility is a requirement, not an option, on commercial tenant improvements in Michigan. We build accessible restrooms, compliant door hardware, accessible routes, and proper egress into the project scope from the start. We've fast-tracked permits through building departments across Metro Detroit and managed ADA compliance for office, retail, and medical spaces throughout Oakland County. The goal is always the same: your lease start date on the schedule, your occupancy permit in hand.
