About This Service
South Florida’s Tenant Improvement
Contractor
A missed lease commencement date costs real money — in rent, lost revenue, and landlord penalties. ECO Builders understands that tenant improvement timelines are tied to rent commencement, business opening dates, and landlord approval milestones — not just construction logistics.
We work directly with your landlord, property manager, and leasing attorney to coordinate TI allowance draw schedules, base building tie-ins, building access, and all required approvals. The result: your space is delivered on time, fully permitted, and ready for business.
With over 500 tenant improvement projects completed across South Florida — office, retail, restaurant, medical, fitness, and specialty spaces — we bring a level of TI-specific expertise that most general contractors simply do not have.
Space Types
Tenant Improvement Build-Outs by Space Type
We build every category of commercial tenant space across South Florida. Each space type has its own code requirements, permit pathway, and construction sequencing — and our teams have done all of them, repeatedly.
TI Build-Out Process
From Lease Execution to Move-In Day
Our tenant improvement process is specifically designed around lease timelines — not just construction schedules. Every phase is calibrated to hit your rent commencement date and all interim landlord milestones.

Common Questions
Tenant Improvements FAQ
The timeline depends on the size of the space, project complexity, permitting requirements, and material availability. Most commercial tenant improvements take 6 to 16 weeks after permits are approved. Larger or more specialized projects, such as medical offices, restaurants, or laboratories, may require additional time due to specialized systems and inspections.
Most tenant improvement projects require building permits and may also need separate permits for electrical, plumbing, mechanical (HVAC), fire protection, fire alarms, and signage. Requirements vary by municipality and project scope. ECO Builders manages the permitting process, coordinates inspections, and helps keep your project compliant with local building codes.
A grey shell typically includes the basic building structure with minimal interior finishes and utilities. A warm shell provides more completed infrastructure, such as HVAC, electrical service, and restrooms, but still requires interior construction. A white box usually features finished walls, ceilings, lighting, and flooring, allowing tenants to focus on customizing the space for their business. ECO Builders can review your lease documents and determine exactly what condition your space is in before construction begins.
Yes. We regularly work with landlord-provided Tenant Improvement (TI) allowances and can help maximize your budget. Our team coordinates with property owners, property managers, architects, and landlords to ensure the project meets lease requirements while helping you make the most of the available allowance.
Absolutely. We understand the importance of minimizing disruptions in occupied office buildings, retail centers, medical facilities, and mixed-use properties. Our team coordinates work schedules, controls dust and noise, maintains clean job sites, and follows building management requirements to reduce the impact on neighboring tenants and daily operations.
Tenant improvement costs vary based on the condition of the space, finishes, building systems, and project complexity. Basic office build-outs generally cost less than restaurants, medical offices, or specialty commercial spaces that require additional plumbing, electrical, or HVAC work. After reviewing your plans and space, ECO Builders provides a detailed estimate tailored to your project and budget.
