TENANT IMPROVEMENT SERVICES

Our CORE Services

DEV Builders Group provides concierge-level coordination across every phase of your tenant improvement project.


Here is what we manage for you.

Pre-Construction and Feasibility Studies

We review your lease space, assess structural and MEP conditions, and confirm scope before you commit budget. You receive a detailed cost estimate and milestone schedule before the first permit application.

DESIGN COORDINATION & VALUE ENGINEERING

We work directly with your architect of record and coordinate all trade drawings. We identify constructability issues early and verify material costs so your buildout stays on budget.

GENERAL CONTRACTING &  Full Buildout

We manage commercial tenant improvement construction from demolition through final inspections. Our in-house crews and equipment fleet keep timelines under direct supervision throughout every phase.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

We serve as your owner's representative on site. You receive weekly progress reports, photo documentation, and milestone tracking so you always know the status of your project.

Interior and Exterior Finishes

We manage all finish trades: flooring, ceilings, storefront glazing, millwork, painting, and exterior signage prep. One coordinated team handles every scope from start to closeout.

LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE SUPPORT

After delivery, we offer maintenance contracts to protect the space and preserve asset value. Scheduled maintenance lowers emergency repair costs and keeps tenant operations running without interruption.

Frequently Asked Questions
