Commercial general contractor for new buildings, additions and renovations

Commercial work runs on a different clock than residential. Every day a space is closed costs the business money, and every change has to clear commercial plan review. We plan the project around your operations and keep the paperwork moving with the city.

How a project runs with our commercial general contractor team

1

Site walkthrough

We walk the space with you or your property manager, review the lease or building requirements, and talk through hours, access and which areas must stay open.
2

Design and code review

We work from your architect's drawings or coordinate with design professionals to produce them. Commercial permits usually require stamped drawings, and we review them for accessibility and code items early.
3

Estimate and phasing plan

You get a detailed estimate and a phasing plan that shows which areas we work in and when, and how we keep customers, staff and tenants separated from the work.
4

Permits

We submit for the building permit and coordinate the trade permits our subcontractors need.
5

Protection and demolition

We set up temporary walls, dust control and protected paths, then remove what is coming out, scheduling noisy work outside your busy hours where possible.
6

Framing and rough-ins

New partitions, blocking and openings, then electrical, plumbing and HVAC rough-ins with their inspections.
7

Drywall and finishes

Drywall, ceilings, flooring, tile, millwork, doors and paint.
8

Final inspections and turnover

Final inspections and the certificate of occupancy where one is required, then a walkthrough with you and a punch list before turnover.

Good to know

Working with a commercial general contractor in Minnesota

Commercial plan review

Commercial projects go through a more detailed permit review than residential work. Build that review time into your opening date, especially for a new tenant with a lease start.

Accessibility

Minnesota adopts its own accessibility code for commercial buildings. Alterations often require an accessible route to the altered area, which can reach restrooms, entrances and parking.

Restaurants and food service

Food businesses need health department plan review in addition to the building permit. Grease interceptors, hood systems and finish materials for food prep areas are all part of that review.

Winter work

Cold weather affects exterior work, deliveries and anything involving open entrances. We plan interior and exterior phases to keep the building heated and the entry usable through winter.

Operating through construction

We agree on work hours, dust and noise limits, deliveries, and how customers or tenants move through the building before we start. In multi-tenant buildings we also coordinate with building management on elevator use, shutoffs that affect neighboring suites, and notice to other tenants.

Commercial general contractor questions

Can you work after hours so we can stay open?

We plan work around your operating hours. Noisy or dusty tasks can be scheduled for evenings, weekends or closed days, and we phase the project so parts of the space stay in use. We set this plan with you before work starts.

Do you handle tenant improvements for landlords and property managers?

Yes. We build out vacant suites to a new tenant's layout, update finishes between tenants, and work within building rules for access, deliveries and working hours.

Will our remodel trigger accessibility upgrades?

It can. Altering a commercial space often brings requirements for accessible routes, entrances, restrooms and door hardware into play. We review the plans against the Minnesota accessibility code and build in the upgrades the permit requires.

Can you build out a restaurant kitchen?

We coordinate commercial kitchen build-outs, including the framing, finishes and surfaces, along with licensed subcontractors for plumbing, electrical and HVAC. Hoods, grease interceptors and health department review add steps, so we plan for those from the start.

Can you repair a commercial space after a fire or water loss?

Yes. We do commercial fire and water reconstruction, and we can phase the rebuild so undamaged parts of the building reopen as soon as practical.
