LEASE-FIRST THINKING
Plan your space before finalizing construction obligations.
FIRSTClarify the lease work letter
THENVerify current space conditions
NEXTDefine the permitted build-out
A tenant improvement project sits at the intersection of business operations, landlord requirements, jurisdictional approvals and the actual condition of the premises. Those pieces should be reviewed together.
- Who provides base-building improvements?
- What equipment, power, HVAC and plumbing exist today?
- What construction hours and access rules apply?
- Does the intended use require a change of occupancy?

|---|---|
| Base building | Existing walls, roof, HVAC capacity, electrical service and code deficiencies. |

COMMON QUESTIONS
Questions about tenant improvements?
Every site, lease and permit jurisdiction is different. These answers are general starting points; we can discuss your property and goals.
Ask about your projectWhat is a tenant improvement (TI)?
A tenant improvement changes an existing commercial space to support a tenant’s specific use, subject to lease, landlord and permit requirements.
Can you work directly with a landlord and tenant?
Yes. We can define communication and approval roles among the owner, landlord and tenant at the start.
Do all build-outs require permits?
No single rule applies. Changes to occupancy, partitions, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and accessibility can trigger permits or design reviews.
Can my tenant improvement start before the lease is executed?
Design and feasibility work may start earlier, but construction authorization and responsibilities should be clear in writing.
Can you work under a landlord construction manual?
We can review building access, insurance, construction hours and other landlord criteria before agreeing to the scope.
What should I provide for pricing?
Send the space address, lease exhibit or work letter, existing floor plan, proposed layout, finish expectations and required completion date.
