Tenant Improvement Architect in Phoenix & Mesa, Arizona
We design tenant improvements for retail, restaurant, office, medical, and fitness spaces across the Phoenix metro. A tenant improvement adapts an existing commercial space to a business's needs, whether that means finishing an empty suite or renovating an occupied space.
Our services include existing-conditions review, space planning, code analysis, construction documents, consultant coordination, and permit submittals.
Tenant improvement projects
Restaurant and café buildouts, including kitchen layouts and coordination with equipment suppliers and engineering consultants.
Retail storefronts, showrooms, and buildouts in unfinished commercial spaces.
Office and professional suites, medical offices, and fitness facilities.
Renovations that adapt an existing building or suite to a different use.
Design and documentation
We review the existing space and proposed use, develop the layout, and prepare architectural drawings for permitting and construction. We coordinate structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, civil, and specialty consultants as the project requires.
We can work with your contractor on a design-build team or prepare documents for competitive bidding. During construction, we answer contractor questions and review submittals as part of our construction administration services.
