How long does a tenant build-out take?

A straightforward office or retail fit-up typically runs four to eight weeks once permits are in hand; larger industrial or mechanical-heavy scopes take longer. We commit to a date in writing and flag anything that threatens it early.

Do you work for landlords or tenants?

Both. Landlords hire us to make units lease-ready and to deliver work against a tenant improvement allowance; tenants hire us for turnkey fit-ups of space they've leased.

Can you work within a tenant improvement allowance?

Yes, and we'll be straight with you about what the allowance actually covers. We price the base scope to the dollars available and quote any upgrades separately so the decision is yours.

Do you handle accessibility requirements?

Yes. Barrier-free washrooms, door widths, clearances and AODA requirements are built into the scope from the start rather than corrected after a failed inspection.

Tenant improvements & build-outs

Lease-ready on the date the lease says.

Turnkey tenant improvements for landlords and incoming tenants — demising walls, offices, washrooms, warehouse fit-ups and finishes. One contractor from permit to punch list.

What's included

From bare shell to lease-ready space.

Whether you’re preparing a unit for a new tenant or fitting out space you’ve just leased, we handle the whole build-out under one contract.

Demising & layout changes

Splitting, combining or reconfiguring units — framing, demising walls and door openings built to the approved plan.
Permits & landlord approvals

We manage the permit process and the landlord's approval package so your occupancy date doesn't slip on paperwork.
Mechanical & electrical fit-up

Lighting, power, data rough-in, HVAC distribution and plumbing sized for how the tenant will actually use the space.
Barrier-free washrooms

AODA-compliant washroom builds and accessibility upgrades built to pass inspection.
Flooring, paint & finishes

Commercial-grade flooring, millwork, ceilings and paint selected to survive tenant turnover, not just look good on day one.
Occupancy-ready handover

Final clean, deficiency walk and documentation, so the tenant takes possession without a punch list hanging over it.

Ways to work with us

Landlord allowance or full turnkey build.

We work both sides of the lease. Landlords typically want a fixed number to price into a tenant allowance; tenants usually want turnkey — we do either.

Lease-ready on schedule

A vacant unit costs more than the build-out does.

Every week a space sits unfinished is a week of lost rent. We give you a firm date and we build to it.

How it works

From lease signature to keys in four steps.

1

Unit walk & requirements

We walk the space with you and the tenant's requirements in hand, and confirm what the existing shell can actually support.
2

Fixed-price scope

A written scope and firm number tied to your target occupancy date, so it can go straight into the lease schedule.
3

Permits & approvals

We handle the city permit and the landlord's approval package in parallel, so neither one holds up mobilization.
4

Build & hand over

Trades sequenced to the date, progress reported weekly, ending in a deficiency walk and a clean, occupancy-ready unit.

Why AWPM

Build-outs that don't blow the occupancy date.

We build to the lease date

The occupancy date drives the schedule, not the other way around — and we tell you early if a scope change threatens it.
Permits and landlord approvals handled

Two approval tracks, both managed by us, so nothing sits in someone's inbox while the unit stays empty.
Licensed, WSIB & fully insured

Full commercial coverage and current clearance certificates, which most landlords require before we can mobilize.
We work both sides of the lease

Landlords and tenants both hire us, so we understand what each side needs the finished space to do.
