Addressed the hot water heater and fountain wiring issues which were outside of the original scope of work. The overall work performed was outstanding and within the scheduled time-line despite some unforeseen items that arose with the warehouse demo portion. Thank you!”

FAQ
Office Buildouts Questions from Washington, D.C. Property Owners
How long does an office buildout take in Washington, D.C.?
A cosmetic refresh can take a few weeks. A full suite buildout with new walls, restrooms, and systems typically runs two to four months including permitting through DC Department of Buildings (DOB). We give you a realistic schedule up front.
What is the difference between whitebox and a full fit-out?
A whitebox is a neutral, finished shell: walls, ceiling, lighting, HVAC, and restrooms, ready for a tenant to customize. A full fit-out builds the space to the tenant’s specific plan. We deliver both.
Can you work in a building with other tenants in place?
Yes. Most buildouts are in occupied buildings. We contain dust and noise, schedule disruptive work off-hours, and coordinate with property management daily.
Do you work with tenant improvement allowances?
Yes. We regularly work with landlords and tenants on TI-funded projects and provide the documentation both sides need.
