Commercial Tenant Finishes
A commercial tenant finish, also known as a tenant build-out or tenant improvement, is the process of customizing a commercial space to meet a tenant's business needs.
This can include modifications to the interior and exterior of the space, such as:
Layout, Roofing, Flooring, Ceiling, Lighting, Walls, Doors, Windows, Fixtures, and Electrical, HVAC, and plumbing systems.
The goal of a commercial tenant finish is to help the tenant run their business more efficiently and effectively. It can also impact a tenant's brand, customer experience, and employee morale.
Here are some things to consider when planning a commercial tenant finish:
- Negotiate terms: The tenant and landlord negotiate the terms and conditions of the tenant finish when they agree on the commercial lease.
- Work with a contractor: The tenant works with a tenant improvement contractor to customize the space.
- Consider the landlord's obligations: The landlord must ensure that the build-out doesn't violate any of their contractual obligations.
- Understand the contract: Make sure you understand the contract's financial requirements, payment schedule, cancellation penalties, and construction timelines.
- Get warranties in writing: Make sure all warranties covering the materials and labor are in writing.
- Include an arbitration clause: Consider including an arbitration clause in the event of a disagreement.
- Schedule a walk-through: Schedule a walk-through with the landlord, contractor, and your team to make sure all the work was completed as agreed upon.
