Texas Finish Out Construction

When searching for commercial lease spaces for your new or growing business. Location is always the most important factor, but the cost of construction, finish out, renovation and tenant improvements should also be a strong consideration. We recommend to our clients who are looking at a new or existing lease spaces that require tenant improvements or renovations, to start by identifying the availability and locations of the existing MEP (mechanical, electrical and plumbing) services. These are typically the most costly items to install new if not already in place and in the case of underground lines can be cost prohibitive to relocate if not where you need them. If the MEP systems are already in place, look at the condition and age of the equipment. Existing HVAC units, pumps, fans, water heaters, etc. are often not warranted by the landlord and even if they are, any down time of your business is not if they fail. Look closely at the roofing system above the space, water leaking on your new finishes and products is never good. Ask three reputable commercial general contractors to provide you with preliminary cost estimates (prior to paying for finished design drawings. Take the time to walk and talk with each contractor when they visit the site, you will learn more about your prospective lease space and who you want to build out your new space in those three meetings than any other time in the project.
