Tenant Improvements

Tenant improvements that open on time

Office, medical, retail and food-service build-outs across Snohomish and King counties — from cold shell to certificate of occupancy, often while the building stays open.

Tenant improvement (TI) build-outs in the Puget Sound typically cost $120–$250 per sq ft in 2026, depending on finishes, MEP scope and building conditions. ABM Construction delivers TI projects in occupied and vacant spaces with full permit management.
Scope

What a TI with ABM includes

  • Space planning & design-build — test fits, layouts, finish selections
  • Demolition & framing — selective demo, partitions, ceilings
  • MEP coordination — electrical, plumbing, HVAC with licensed subs
  • Finishes — flooring, paint, millwork, storefront glazing
  • Code & ADA compliance — restrooms, egress, accessibility upgrades
  • Permits & inspections — we submit, schedule and close them all

Working with a landlord allowance? We scope to the allowance first, then price alternates clearly — no surprises at lease signing.

How long does a TI take?

A straightforward 2,000–3,000 sq ft office or retail TI typically runs 8–14 weeks of construction after permits. Food service and medical take longer due to health and specialty inspections.

Can you match the landlord’s work letter?

Yes — we price directly against the work letter and flag any gaps between what the allowance covers and what your program needs.

Do you work nights or weekends?

When the building or neighboring tenants require it, yes. After-hours work is planned and priced up front, never slipped in later.

What cities do you pull TI permits in?

Everett, Seattle, Lynnwood, Edmonds, Mill Creek, Marysville and most Snohomish/King county jurisdictions.
