Permitting
Tenant Improvement Packages
Complete permit documentation for commercial tenant improvements and interior build outs.
Overview
Our tenant improvement packages are prepared for commercial spaces that need accurate, permit-ready construction drawings before build-out work begins. Whether the project involves an office renovation, retail tenant improvement, restaurant conversion, or full commercial interior build-out, we develop coordinated TI permit drawings that align with local building department requirements and the specific needs of the tenant space. We produce the full package from existing as-built drawings or create the documentation from field measurements when no reliable plans are available.
Why It Matters
Commercial tenant improvements are one of the most common project types delayed during plan review. Missing accessibility details, incomplete HVAC systems coordination, and unverified base building information often lead to corrections that slow down permit approvals. A properly coordinated tenant improvement package addresses those issues before submission so the project can move forward without avoidable delays.

Common Questions
Frequently asked.
Still have questions? Contact us and we will answer them directly before you submit an inquiry.
- What building uses do you handle?
- Retail, office, medical office, restaurant, salon, light industrial, and mixed-use. If your use type is not listed, contact us to confirm we can support it.
- Do I need as-built drawings first?
- Not always. If no reliable as-built documentation is available, we can perform field measurement as part of the TI engagement before producing the permit set.
- How do accessibility requirements apply to TI projects?
- Most TI projects trigger path of travel accessibility requirements for the portion of the building affected by the work. We include this analysis in every TI package as a standard deliverable.
- Can you coordinate with the building's MEP engineers?
- Yes. If the TI requires mechanical, electrical, or plumbing engineering, we coordinate the architectural set with the MEP drawings before submission.
