Residential work → How we scope commercial work →

Every one of these was built around somebody's opening hours

A commercial job is judged on two things a residential one is not: whether the business could keep operating while it happened, and whether the work satisfies a lease. Both belong in the scope from the start — which areas stay live and on what dates, how dust and noise are contained from occupied space, and what the landlord needs at handover.

Why the unfinished photographs are here

The strip-out and rough-in frames are not filler. What is behind the casework is frequently the actual job, and under-slab waste has to be inspected before it is closed — so a photograph of an open wall is the only proof that stage happened at all. A portfolio of finished rooms shows you the easy half.

On food service, the drainage, the three-compartment sink and the separate hand sink have to be right before a health inspection, not after.

What this work covers

Tenant improvement and fit-out, food-service build-out, salon, spa and wellness suites, strip-out and demolition, under-slab and in-wall plumbing, custom millwork, specialty flooring and wall finishes, and repeatable multi-unit work. The commercial page sets out how each is scoped and what a commercial bid should tell you.
