COMMERCIAL FIT-OUT

A commercial fit-out turns raw or stripped space into a working, branded, code-compliant environment. Ariel Construction handles the entire interior fit-out package — layout, MEP distribution, fire protection, millwork, finishes, signage coordination and FF&E install — under a single transparent contract. We build interiors only, which means our crews, pricing and schedules are tuned to exactly this work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a fit-out and a remodel?

A fit-out builds out raw, shell or stripped space for the first use. A remodel changes an interior that's already finished and in use. We do both — interior only.

Do you work with our architect and brand standards?

Yes. We build to your architect's drawings and brand books, and we can also provide design under our design-and-build contract if you'd rather have one point of accountability.

Can you handle landlord work letters and base-build coordination?

Yes — we manage work letters, allowances, TI reimbursements and base-build coordination with landlords and property managers regularly.

How fast can a fit-out be delivered?

Small suites under 5,000 sq ft often complete in 6–10 weeks. Larger fit-outs with heavy MEP run 12–24 weeks depending on permitting.

How do you keep us on budget?

Yes. Transparent pricing up front against a defined scope, with no surprise change orders.

What A Commercial Fit-Out Actually Covers

A commercial fit-out is the complete conversion of shell or stripped space into a finished, code-compliant, occupancy-ready interior. On a typical Ariel Construction fit-out that means demolition and protection, metal stud framing and drywall, HVAC and ductwork, electrical distribution and lighting, plumbing rough-in and fixtures, sprinkler drops and fire alarm devices, ceilings and acoustics, flooring and tile, glazing and storefront, custom millwork, paint and specialty finishes, signage coordination, and FF&E installation. Because we run all of it under one contract and one project manager, there are no gaps between trades and no finger-pointing when a detail needs a decision.

Fit-Out Costs, Timelines And Landlord Work Letters

Fit-out budgets are driven far more by mechanical, electrical and plumbing scope than by finishes. A straightforward office suite reusing existing HVAC and restrooms prices very differently from a restaurant needing grease exhaust, gas service and a new electrical feed. We price line by line against a defined scope so you know the total before we mobilize, and we reconcile that number against your landlord work letter, tenant improvement allowance and any base-building obligations so the allowance is actually applied to the work it was intended for.

Fit-Outs In New York, Dallas–Fort Worth And South Florida

We hold licensing and insurance in all three markets and file, expedite and close out permits with each authority having jurisdiction. In New York that means DOB filings, building management rules, freight elevator scheduling and after-hours work windows. In Dallas–Fort Worth and South Florida it means municipal plan review, county inspections and, in coastal Florida, wind-load and hurricane-code considerations on any exterior scope. Local knowledge is usually the difference between opening on your lease commencement date and paying rent on space you can't use yet.
