Retail Store Build-Outs
Create an inviting retail environment that showcases your products and enhances the customer experience. I build custom retail spaces with strategic layouts, attractive displays, proper lighting, fitting rooms, checkout areas, and back-of-house storage. From boutiques to specialty shops, my retail build-outs help your business make a lasting impression.
$60K–$220K
Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.
Why
Retail traffic flow is everything — where the eye lands when someone walks in, where the line forms at checkout, what's reachable from the wheelchair-height. Layout drives revenue per square foot.
What
Storefront, lighting, fitting rooms, checkout counter + cash-wrap, back-of-house storage, ADA-compliant entry, signage rough-in. Code-compliant occupancy + sprinkler tie-in if required.
How
Permits + landlord coordination week 1. Demo and rough-in 2–4 weeks depending on scope. Finishes and fixtures 4–6 weeks. Open-by date drives the schedule — I work backwards from it.
Retail build-outs miss opening dates because someone underestimates the inspection cycle. I build inspection windows into the schedule explicitly.
Office Space Renovations
Design and build professional workspaces that boost productivity and reflect your company culture. I create open floor plans, private offices, conference rooms, break areas, and reception spaces tailored to your team's needs. My office renovations include proper acoustics, lighting, HVAC zoning, and technology infrastructure for modern business operations.
$50K–$180K
Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.
Why
Hybrid changed what offices need — fewer desks, more conference rooms with real video, better acoustics. A renovation is when you fix that mismatch.
What
Open floor plan or private offices, conference rooms with AV pre-wiring, break room, reception, acoustic treatment, dedicated HVAC zoning, structured cabling.
How
I phase work to keep at least one zone open whenever possible. Noisy demo runs after-hours or weekends. Most office renos are 6–10 weeks total.
Open-plan offices fail when acoustics aren't part of the design. Walls and ceilings get the soundproofing they need so you're not yelling over your neighbor on a call.
Restaurant Renovations
Build or renovate your restaurant with health code compliant construction that meets all regulatory requirements. I handle commercial kitchen installations, dining room design, bar areas, restrooms, ventilation systems, and grease trap installations. My restaurant build-outs create efficient workflows for your staff while delivering an exceptional dining atmosphere for your guests.
$120K–$400K
Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.
Why
Restaurants live or die on workflow. The way the kitchen line, the pass, the bar, and the dining room talk to each other is half the operation. Renovate badly and you're fighting your own building forever.
What
Commercial kitchen with hood + suppression, walk-in cooler, grease trap (per FL DBPR), bar with three-compartment + handsink, dining layout, ADA restrooms, exterior signage rough-in, fire-rated separations.
How
Health Department + DBPR review drives the permit timeline. I build that into the schedule. Rough-in 4–6 weeks; finish + equipment 4–6 weeks; pre-open inspection blocks add 1–2 weeks.
Restaurant inspections fail on hood + suppression sequencing more than anything else. I confirm hood + fire suppression certification dates before promising your open date.
Medical Office Build-Outs
Create HIPAA-compliant medical facilities designed for patient comfort and clinical efficiency. I build exam rooms, waiting areas, reception desks, lab spaces, and specialized treatment areas with proper ventilation, plumbing for medical equipment, and accessible layouts. My medical build-outs meet all healthcare regulations while creating a welcoming environment for patients.
$150K–$500K
Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.
Why
Medical build-outs have specs other commercial doesn't — sound privacy for HIPAA, lead-shielded walls for imaging, infection-control finishes, oxygen rough-in. Get them wrong and the inspector won't sign off.
What
Exam rooms, lab/clean utility, reception with privacy glass, ADA-compliant restrooms, HIPAA acoustic separation, sealed-seam flooring (LVT or sheet vinyl), hand-wash stations per AHCA spec.
How
AHCA requirements drive the design. I'll engage a healthcare-experienced architect early and walk the space with you to map patient + staff flow before any drawings finalize. Build runs 10–18 weeks.
Mayo Clinic Jacksonville is on my résumé — $30M scope, hospital-grade ACHA and permitting. Medical build-outs aren't a stretch. They're a known pattern.
ADA Compliance Upgrades
Ensure your commercial space is accessible to all customers and employees with ADA compliance upgrades. I install wheelchair ramps, accessible restrooms, proper door widths, compliant signage, and barrier-free pathways. I know the current ADA requirements and help you create an inclusive environment while avoiding costly violations.
$15K–$80K
Final number depends on your specific scope, finishes, and site conditions. I'll quote the exact figure after a walk-through.
Why
ADA isn't optional. The DOJ settles violations at $75,000 first offense — way more than the construction usually costs. Doing it right once is cheaper than the lawsuit.
What
Ramps (max 1:12 slope), 36-inch doorways, lever handles, ADA-compliant restrooms (turning radius, grab bars at correct heights), tactile + Braille signage, accessible parking + path-of-travel.
How
I survey the existing space against current ADA Standards (2010 update) and produce a punch list. Most upgrades complete in 2–6 weeks depending on whether bathrooms need rebuilding.
Some contractors install grab bars at code minimum and call it done. I install at heights actual users specify — the standards are floors, not goals.
