Who pays for what: landlord versus tenant
Most tenant improvement projects go sideways over money that was never clearly assigned. Before we price anything we read the lease and the work letter, because that is where the split actually lives.
- Base building work is usually the landlord: shell, structure, core restrooms, main electrical service, primary HVAC trunk, exterior.
- Tenant work is usually you: layout, partitions, finishes, branded elements, specialty power and data, supplemental cooling, your own equipment connections.
- The TI allowance is a dollar amount per square foot the landlord contributes. It is often paid on completion, which means you carry the cost in the meantime.
- Overages fall on the tenant. The allowance is a budget ceiling, not a guarantee.
We give you a line-item estimate you can hold up against the work letter, so a disagreement with the landlord happens on paper before it happens on site.

Permits and schedule
A build-out schedule is three things stacked: design, plan review and construction. Only the last one is fully in our control.
- Jurisdiction decides the review timeline. Orlando, Orange County, Osceola County, Kissimmee and St. Cloud all run their own plan review with their own queue.
- A change of use or occupancy classification adds scope. Turning retail into a restaurant is not a finish job, it is a code conversation about egress, restroom count, grease and ventilation.
- Fire review, health department and landlord approval can run in parallel but each is its own gate.
- Long-lead items such as rooftop units, hoods and custom glass set the real finish date more often than labor does.
We sequence permits and long-lead orders together so the two are not waiting on each other.
