This process typically begins with feasibility studies, zoning and code analysis, site and utility coordination, and early concept planning, then advances through architectural, structural, civil, and MEP engineering design.

The work also includes preparation of permit and construction documents, life safety and accessibility compliance, value engineering, consultant coordination, and construction administration to help ensure the project is delivered efficiently, code-compliantly, and within budget.
 

• Feasibility and due diligence

• Zoning and code analysis

• Site, civil, structural, and MEP coordination

• Architectural design and construction documents

• Bidding and construction administration
  
  How it works

These projects usually involve field verification, documentation of existing conditions, demolition planning, evaluation of structural and MEP systems, and design updates tailored to the owner’s new program or operational needs.

​

Renovation work also often requires careful phasing, occupied-space coordination, accessibility upgrades, and targeted permitting support to minimize disruption while improving performance, function, and compliance.

​

• Existing conditions documentation

• Field measurements and verification

• Demolition and reconfiguration plans

• Structural and MEP system evaluation

• Code and accessibility upgrades

• Material and finish updates

• Phasing for occupied spaces

• Permit and construction support

How it works

These services generally include lease and landlord criteria review, test fits, space planning, code analysis, interior architectural design, and modifications to lighting, power, HVAC, plumbing, and fire protection systems.

Tenant improvement work is centered on creating a functional, compliant, and efficient environment that aligns with operational requirements, brand identity, schedule expectations, and landlord approval processes.
 

• Lease and landlord coordination

• Test fit and space planning

• Interior architectural design

• MEP and fire protection modifications

• ADA and code compliance review

• Finish, signage, and equipment coordination

• Permit and landlord submission packages

• Construction administration and turnover support
  
  
  How it works

These projects often require coordination between franchise standards, architectural and engineering disciplines, equipment vendors, and permitting authorities, especially for food service, retail, or specialty-use concepts.

The scope typically includes prototype adaptation, branded interior and storefront coordination, MEP design for specialized equipment, permit management, and construction support, with a strong emphasis on maintaining brand consistency while achieving cost-effective, site-specific implementation.
 

• Prototype adaptation to local site conditions

• Brand standards compliance

• Landlord and jurisdictional coordination

• Equipment-driven MEP design

• Storefront, signage, and interior coordination

• Health, safety, and accessibility compliance

• Permit submission and response support

• Construction administration and closeout
  
  
  How it works

These services typically begin with a review of violation notices, permit history, inspection records, and existing site or building conditions to identify the root cause of the issue and define the corrective path required by the authority having jurisdiction.

The process may include field verification, preparation of corrective drawings, code analysis, coordination with architects and engineers, permit applications or revisions, and direct support through plan review and reinspection.

The goal is to resolve violations as quickly as possible, reduce delays and penalties, restore compliance, and provide clear documentation that supports final approval and closeout.
