Tenant Improvement General Contractor in California

A CSLB-licensed general building contractor that manages your build-out from lease review through final inspection, across the Bay Area, Southern California, Sacramento and beyond.

One contract, every trade

California tenant improvements carry more layers than most states: Title 24 energy rules, CBC Chapter 11B accessibility, seismic bracing, air district limits on coatings, county health review and, in some coastal and mountain towns, extra planning approvals. A tenant improvement general contractor takes responsibility for all of it. We price the work, sign one agreement with you, hire licensed trades, pull the permit, schedule inspections and hand over a finished space with the documents your landlord needs.

CSLB licensing

California contractors are licensed by the Contractors State License Board. A general building contractor holds the B classification, and specialty work is done by contractors holding the matching C classifications, such as C-10 electrical, C-36 plumbing, C-20 HVAC and C-16 fire protection. Check any contractor’s license number on the CSLB website, confirm it is active, and make sure the insurance and workers’ compensation coverage meet your lease.

How a project runs

Site review: we walk the space, check HVAC, electrical service, restrooms, accessibility and exits, and read the work letter.
Design: a test fit and budget, then permit drawings with Title 24 and 11B compliance.
Permit: submittal to the city or county, plan check responses and fire department review.
Construction: daily supervision, coordinated trades and weekly photo updates.
Closeout: final inspections, certificate of occupancy, punch list, as-builts, warranties and lien releases.

Built for California buildings

Many California commercial buildings are older and need accessibility upgrades when they are altered. Path-of-travel requirements can apply to the entrance, restrooms and parking serving your space. We identify these during the test fit so they are in the budget from the start.
