Transforming Shell Spaces into High-Performance Work Environments

Reimagining your office space through an office build out is not just a construction project; it is a strategic investment in your business’s future. Many office build outs begin with shell space or cold shell conditions, which require extensive customization to create a functional environment. A successful office build out is about redefining what your workspace can achieve for your team, your culture, and your bottom line through office construction. In commercial real estate, office build outs are a key part of transactions, allowing tenants to tailor spaces to their unique needs.

At Workscape Designs, our approach to office renovation fuses visionary, performance-driven design with rigorous project execution, providing commercial build out contractor solutions that are intentionally crafted to foster collaboration, ignite innovation, and enhance employee well-being. The office build out process involves careful planning, budgeting, and execution, starting with defining the full scope of work and following a structured budgeting process.

By leveraging expert improvement planning, collaborating seamlessly with insightful architects, and meticulously coordinating every detail from initial concept to final delivery, our office build out contractors transform outdated environments into dynamic, thriving hubs of productivity and culture.

About Commercial Build Outs

A commercial build out is the process of transforming a raw space or existing office space into a fully functional environment tailored to your business’s unique requirements. Whether you’re moving into a new office, expanding your current space, or reimagining your brand identity, the commercial build out process is essential for creating a workspace that supports your goals.

This process begins with an initial design phase, where your vision and business needs are translated into a comprehensive plan. From there, every aspect of the space—from layout and finishes to technology and amenities—is carefully considered to ensure the final result aligns with your company’s culture and operational needs. By investing in a thoughtful build out, you can maximize the potential of your commercial space, enhance productivity, and create an environment that leaves a lasting impression on both employees and clients.

Office Build Out With Workscape Designs: We Do The Heavy Lifting

One of the biggest keys to a successful office remodel it to get started early, and map out a clear plan with one of our designers.

We’ve seen it time and again—clients who engage with us from the outset are able to sidestep common pitfalls, keep their projects moving, and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Here’s why:

Permitting and Approvals: City permits and landlord sign-offs take time. By kicking off the planning process early, we can tackle these hurdles proactively while keeping your project on schedule.
Comprehensive Coordination: Building out a workspace isn’t just about walls and paint. It involves a coordinated dance between architects, engineers, specialty trades, and vendors. Early planning allows us to assemble the right team and clearly define responsibilities, minimizing disruptions and ensuring everyone is moving in sync. The bidding process is also crucial at this stage, as it helps select the right subcontractors and vendors by comparing bids for scope and cost, ensuring quality and cost control.
Cushion for Surprise Delays: Even with the best-laid plans, unexpected challenges happen. Starting early gives us room to adjust without derailing timelines or budgets.

Construction Documentation & Permitting

Construction documents and permits are foundational to a successful commercial build out process. These documents detail every aspect of the build out, including the project scope, materials, and construction methods, and serve as the official guide for the construction team. Before any physical construction can begin, these plans must be submitted to local authorities for review and approval. This process typically takes six to eight weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and local regulations.

Navigating the approval process can be challenging, but an experienced general contractor or project manager will ensure all necessary permits are secured and that the final construction documents meet regulatory standards. These documents not only help keep the construction phase on schedule and within budget, but also provide a clear roadmap for the entire project team, reducing the risk of costly delays or misunderstandings.

Tenant Improvement Allowance and Build Outs

A Tenant Improvement Allowance (TI Allowance) is a key financial resource in the commercial build out process, provided by landlords to help tenants offset the costs of customizing their leased space. Typically calculated as a set dollar amount per square foot, the TI Allowance can be applied to both hard costs—such as construction materials, labor, and installation—and soft costs like design fees, permits, and project management.

Understanding the terms of your TI Allowance is crucial, as it directly impacts your total project budget and the scope of your build out. A knowledgeable project manager can help you navigate the TI Allowance process, ensuring you maximize its value and allocate funds efficiently across your commercial space. By leveraging your TI Allowance strategically, you can achieve a high-quality build out that meets your business needs without exceeding your financial limits.
