Tenant Improvements

Tenant Improvement Contractor in Columbia, MO

Whether you're a tenant moving into new space or a landlord preparing a suite for lease, we build tenant improvements that match the lease exhibit, stay inside the allowance, and get the space ready to open.

How TI Works

Tenant improvements without the runaround

A tenant improvement project involves more people than most remodels: the tenant, the landlord, the property manager, designers, and the city. We keep everyone on the same page with one point of contact and clear written updates.

We start by reviewing the lease work letter and the space, then price the scope line by line so you can see where the allowance goes before work begins.
