Four things dominate: the condition of the space, mechanical and electrical scope, finish level, and permitting complexity. A cold dark shell needs HVAC, restrooms, electrical distribution and a storefront — far more than a second-generation space where you're reusing infrastructure. Older Worth Avenue District and Midtown buildings often surprise you with undersized electrical service, cast iron waste lines or structural masonry where you wanted an opening. High-end stone, custom millwork and specialty lighting — common for Palm Beach clientele — can double a finish budget versus standard commercial materials. We price from drawings and break it out line by line so you can see where the money goes.

For a second-generation space with modest scope, construction often runs a handful of weeks; a full shell buildout with new HVAC, restrooms and custom millwork runs several months. Permitting is usually the least predictable piece — Town of Palm Beach review, and architectural review for anything changing the street-facing exterior in the Worth Avenue District, adds time you have to plan for. Long-lead items like custom storefront glass, imported stone and specialty light fixtures can also set the schedule. We build the lead times into the schedule up front rather than discovering them at drywall.

Ask us directly and we'll provide our license and insurance information in writing before you sign anything, along with the same documents for the electrical, plumbing, mechanical and fire subcontractors on your job. Your landlord will require certificates of insurance naming them, and we handle that paperwork as part of mobilization.

Yes, and it's common on Worth Avenue and in Midtown where the neighbors are operating retail and restaurants. We build temporary dust barriers, coordinate delivery and demolition hours with building management, and do the loud or dusty work outside shopping hours where the lease and town noise rules allow. Phased remodels — working half the sales floor at a time — are also workable, though they add schedule and cost versus a dark-store approach.
