Commercial Buildout / Tenant Improvement

$65–$180 per sq ft

A tenant improvement is the fastest way to make a leased space work for your business — but only if the contractor keeps the permit, the MEP trades, and the landlord on the same schedule. We handle commercial TI for office, medical and dental, professional services, and light-industrial spaces throughout Katy and west Houston. That means demising walls, ADA-compliant restrooms, dedicated HVAC zoning, data and electrical rough-in, and the specialized plumbing medical and food tenants need — all coordinated in-house. Because we expedite the City of Katy permit ourselves and assign a named project manager to your job, you get one point of contact and a schedule you can plan a move-in around.

What We Do

  • Office, medical/dental, professional, and light-industrial tenant improvements
  • Demising walls, ADA restrooms, and code-compliant egress for new tenant layouts
  • Dedicated HVAC zoning, electrical, and data rough-in coordinated to your fit-out
  • Specialized plumbing and gas for medical, dental, and food-service tenants
  • Permit expediting + inspection scheduling so occupancy isn't held up
  • Named project manager and a schedule built around your lease commencement

Why hire one team for the whole project?

Because we coordinate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing in-house and expedite City of Katy and Harris/Fort Bend County permits ourselves, you deal with one accountable contractor instead of three. Every job gets a named project manager and a clean, documented permit record — no hidden change orders, no chasing separate subs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a commercial tenant improvement cost in Katy, TX?

Commercial tenant improvements in the Katy area typically run about $65 to $180 per square foot, depending on the use — basic office is at the lower end, while medical, dental, and food-service spaces are higher because of specialized plumbing, gas, and HVAC requirements. We provide a free, line-item estimate so you can see exactly where the budget goes.

How long does an office or medical tenant improvement take?

A standard office TI in Katy usually takes about 6 to 12 weeks, while medical and dental fit-outs run longer because of added MEP, equipment coordination, and inspections. The City of Katy permit and plan-review timeline is the main variable, which is why we handle permitting in-house and assign a named project manager to keep the schedule on track.

What's included in a commercial buildout?

A commercial buildout covers everything needed to turn a leased shell or existing space into a working business — demising walls, ADA-compliant restrooms, code-compliant egress, HVAC zoning, electrical and data rough-in, finishes, and any specialized plumbing or gas the tenant needs. We coordinate all the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades under one contract so the trades don't collide in the field.

Do you build out medical and dental offices in the Katy area?

Yes — medical, dental, and other healthcare tenant improvements are a regular part of our commercial work, including dedicated plumbing and gas, specialized HVAC, lead-shielded areas where required, and equipment coordination. We sequence inspections so occupancy isn't held up, and we assign one project manager you can call with any question.

Will my buildout be ready by my lease commencement date?

We build the construction schedule backward from your lease commencement and target move-in date, then expedite the permit ourselves so plan review doesn't quietly eat two to six weeks. You get a named project manager and real schedule updates, so you can plan your move and your opening with confidence instead of guessing.
