Getting help
Commercial construction consulting for first-time owners.
You're running a business and building one at the same time. The build should not be the thing that consumes you.
Short answer
First-time commercial owners need help in four places: defining the budget before design, negotiating landlord work letters and allowances, selecting and contracting a builder, and controlling schedule against an opening date that has real revenue attached.
The commercial-specific traps
- Work letters and tenant improvement allowances that don't cover base building gaps
- Landlord approval processes layered onto municipal permitting
- Change of use triggering accessibility, egress, and fire protection upgrades
- Utility and service capacity assumptions made without verification
- Opening dates set before the permitting path is understood
How we run it
- Budget and schedule tied to your opening date, working backwards
- Work letter and lease exhibit review before signature where possible
- Bid management with prequalified commercial contractors
- Weekly coordination and a decision list you can act on in ten minutes
