What does a retail build-out include?

Storefront and signage coordination, interior finishes, flooring and lighting, fixtures and millwork, cash-wrap and point-of-sale, back-of-house stockroom, and any fitting rooms or amenities — built to your brand standards and to current accessibility and life-safety requirements.

Do you install our fixtures and millwork?

Yes. We build or install fixtures, displays, and millwork and coordinate the storefront and finishes, so the store is turnkey and ready for your merchandising team.

How long does a retail build take?

It depends on the size, the base building, the fixture package, and permit timelines. We build the schedule around your opening and provide a project-specific timeline with your estimate.

Do you handle permits and landlord approvals?

We build from approved drawings and coordinate trades, schedule, inspections, and landlord approvals. Permit applications and design sign-offs are handled with the municipality and the design professionals.
