Lobby Construction Overview
A lobby renovation is the highest-visibility work in a building and the hardest to stage. Tenants, residents and visitors walk through your job site every day, so we build temporary walkways and protection, keep egress and ADA paths compliant at all times, run demolition and heavy trades after hours, and hold the space clean and safe every single morning.
Our common-area scope includes stone and porcelain wall systems, terrazzo and tile flooring, custom reception and concierge desks, ceiling and cove lighting packages, security desks and turnstiles, elevator cab and frame refinishing, mail and package rooms, corridors and amenity lounges.
Owners use lobby repositioning to lift rents and renew leases — so we treat the schedule and the finish quality as leasing tools, not just construction line items.

Lobby Construction FAQs
Can tenants keep using the lobby during construction?
Yes. We build protected temporary walkways with code-compliant egress and lighting so the building operates normally.
How long does a lobby renovation take?
Most lobby repositionings run 10–20 weeks depending on stone and millwork lead times, which we order during design.
Do you refinish elevator cabs?
Yes — cab interiors, doors, frames and fixtures are commonly bundled into the lobby scope.
