How We Work

A Clear Process for Your Commercial Build-Out

Understand what happens next, what our team coordinates and what we need from you, from the first conversation through construction and handover.

1. Discuss your project

Send your project details, including location, scope, budget and timing. If you have a site ready to visit, choose a time for an on-site consultation. If you are still looking for a location, our team will contact you about next steps. A signed lease or completed drawings are not required to inquire.

02

2. Review the space

Where appropriate, we arrange a site walk and confirm access with you. We review visible existing conditions, building services and the requirements of your proposed operation. Further investigations or specialist input may be needed to resolve technical questions.

Bring any drawings, equipment information and the lease sections describing landlord and tenant work.

03

3. Establish the drawing and design requirements

If you need drawings, we scope and price a design and drawing package for your approval before that work begins. We then coordinate the design and drawing package.

If you already have drawings, we review their completeness, scope and fit with the site. Any additional design information or revisions are identified before detailed construction pricing is finalized.

4. Review the construction proposal

Once the drawings and scope are sufficiently defined, we prepare detailed construction pricing. We review the proposed work, pricing, assumptions, exclusions and project requirements with you so you understand what is included.

05

5. Confirm the agreement and prepare for construction

The construction agreement sets out scope, payment terms and the anticipated schedule. We plan trade coordination, material selections, procurement and site access around the agreed work.

Permit requirements and landlord approvals are considered during planning. Application and review stages can overlap with design and pricing depending on the project. Required approvals must be in place before the corresponding construction work begins.

06

6. Coordinate construction and communication

Our project team coordinates the trades and checks work as it progresses. You receive regular updates on completed work, upcoming activities and decisions needed.

When a change arises, we explain the scope, cost and schedule implications and document the agreed direction before the affected work proceeds.

07

7. Complete the walkthrough and handover

We coordinate required construction inspections within our scope and walk the completed space with you. Outstanding items are recorded and their resolution is coordinated as part of handover.

Any business-specific operating approvals are separate from the construction handover and must be addressed by the responsible parties.

08

8. Follow up after handover

We follow up on the space and remain available to discuss questions, outstanding matters and future work.

What your site walk is for

A site walk helps identify existing conditions, likely scope and questions requiring further review. You leave with a clearer understanding of the next steps toward a proposal. It is not a substitute for the drawings or technical assessments needed to price and construct the work.

What affects your schedule

Design readiness and any required drawing revisions.

Existing conditions and the complexity of the work.

Permit reviews and landlord approvals.

Material and equipment availability.

Site access and operational restrictions.

The timing of selections and client decisions.

We plan the schedule with you and set out the anticipated construction timeline in your contract.

How to keep decisions moving

Choose a contact who can coordinate decisions for your business.

Share equipment information, existing drawings and landlord requirements early.

Review selections and changes within the dates agreed with the project team.

Tell us when your budget, scope or intended opening plans change.

Process questions

Is the initial consultation a commitment to construction?

No. It is an opportunity to discuss the project. Any design package or construction work is separately scoped and agreed before it begins.

Who coordinates permits?

We coordinate the applicable construction permit process with the relevant design professionals and trade partners. The authorities review applications and issue approvals. Business-specific licensing responsibilities are clarified separately.

Will I understand a change before the work proceeds?

Our process is to explain and document the affected scope, cost and schedule implications for your review before the changed work proceeds.
