1. Unforeseen Challenges For Tenant Improvement Construction

Just as with any home renovation, tenant improvement construction can be thrown off track by unforeseen challenges. Mold, asbestos, structural failure, unidentified utilities and other issues can creep up, extend your construction schedule and increase the project budget exponentially.

A firm experienced in tenant improvement construction can quickly turn the project around, especially if there isn’t a lot of structural components to the project.

Over the years, the impact of buildings and energy usage on the environment has entered many tenants equations when considering commercial space. It’s important to choose a tenant improvement construction partner who can design and build with environmentally-friendly strategies in mind.
