How do you keep the schedule?

One estimator owns the project and sequences our crews with the general contractor. Rough-in, inspection, and trim dates go on the schedule in writing, and we staff to hit them.

What happens if the scope changes mid-project?

The change is priced flat rate and approved in writing before the work continues. The number on the contract stays the number on the invoice.

Do you handle the permit and inspection?

Yes. Permit filing, inspector coordination, and final sign-off are included in every build-out quote.

From white box to open for business

A build-out lives or dies on coordination. We work from your plans, sequence with the general contractor and other trades, and keep the electrical inspection off your critical path. One estimator owns your project from walkthrough to final.

The quote is flat rate and in writing. If the scope changes mid-project, the change is priced and approved in writing before the work continues, so the number on the contract is the number on the invoice.

Build-out questions

Straight answers. If you do not see yours, call us and ask.

Both. If you have stamped drawings we quote directly from them. If you have a floor plan and a use case, we design the electrical, handle the load calculations, and file for permit.
