Commercial
& Business Development

Spaces that work for your business and your customers.

A commercial space has to work for the business, the customer and the code. We design for all three from the first sketch.

Overview

What this service does for you

Commercial projects have to balance how a business operates, what customers experience, and what the building code requires. We design tenant improvements, small commercial buildings and mixed-use spaces with all three in mind.

From the first space plan to the permit set, we help business owners and developers move from idea to approved drawings. On larger projects that require an architect or engineer of record, we coordinate with the right registered professionals.

Ideal for
  • Business owners fitting out a new retail, office or service space
  • Landlords preparing units for new tenants
  • Owners and developers planning small commercial buildings
  • Rural businesses on agricultural or mixed-use properties

FAQ

Questions about Commercial

Every property is different, so we confirm the details for yours during your consultation.

Ask Us Directly
What is a tenant improvement?
A tenant improvement is the work done to fit out a commercial space for a specific business, such as new walls, washrooms, finishes, storefronts and lighting. Most tenant improvements need a building permit.
Do I need a permit for a commercial renovation?
Most commercial renovations and fit-outs require a building permit, and some also need a business licence review or other approvals. We help you understand what applies to your space.
Do I need an architect for my commercial project?
It depends on the size and type of building. Many tenant improvements and small commercial projects can be designed by a building designer, while larger buildings require an architect. If your project needs one, we coordinate with an architect of record.
Can you help before I sign a lease?
Yes. A quick space plan before you sign can show whether a unit fits your business and flag costly issues such as missing washrooms or exits.
