Why CM Pros for your Lehi tenant improvement?

Our Concierge Construction Method (What to Expect)

1. Paid Pre-Construction & Design Agreement

We begin with a focused, paid engagement to de-risk your project: Scope validation, existing conditions review, landlord rules, and a code path tailored to your use. We assemble the permit set (architecture/MEP), confirm utilities and capacities, and pre-coordinate long-lead items so your schedule is protected.

2. Permitting & Approvals (Lehi-Specific)

We package and submit digital plans through the Lehi Building Permit Submittal Portal and coordinate reviews and resubmittals. For fire-related work (sprinklers, alarms, hoods/suppression), we handle the required Fire Prevention Bureau permits. If food or beverage is involved, we coordinate Utah County Health Department plan review requirements so construction can start promptly once approvals are in hand.

3. Detailed Pricing & Schedule

With drawings far enough along for accuracy, we solicit competitive bids, lock in critical suppliers, and present a clear schedule that anticipates inspections. Your TI allowance is integrated, so you can decide where to invest—finish level, lighting, feature millwork, or back-of-house performance.

4. Construction & Inspections

We coordinate trades, protect surrounding tenants, and sequence work to minimize disruptions—night or weekend shifts when feasible. We build to the code requirements for alterations in existing buildings and keep each inspection pass-ready.

5. Turnover, Closeout & Warranty

Before handover, we complete a quality walk, train your team on systems, and deliver O&M documents. You open with confidence; we remain on call.

What It’s Like to Work with CM Pros

"David Thorne gave us a bid to install a full kitchen and upgrade a basement workspace. He has been amazing throughout the entire process. He pays attention to detail, is organized, communicative, listens to customer “wants”, is punctual and uses fabulous software to keep things on schedule and project related documents all in one place. His years of experience paid off for us in many ways but the most impactful was finding extensive damage resulting from an active termite colony that we were not aware of in a different area of our home. We, and many other professionals, brushed this off “sugar ant dirt piles” in the garage along the wall-floor junction but he was insistent that we had termites.

David was correct. Not only did he diagnose the problem but did an amazing job repairing the extensive damage, including a main support post, that wasn’t part of the original project. While most people are waiting months for appliances, sub-contractors, etc. in this horrible supply chain climate he used his network to find everything, and everyone, we needed to get the project done in record time. He took care of literally everything throughout the process. His sub-contractors love working with him and they actually show up 😊 We are enjoying our new beautiful space already with only a few small details to finish up. We’ll be sad to see him go. Not only is he an amazing contractor but really does care about his customers and takes great pride in the quality of work performed. David is a great person all the way around. We’ll hire him again for future projects and highly recommend him. Happy CMP Customer in Sandy, Utah"

"David was great to work with. He was quick to respond to questions and if there was a concern he came right over and addressed the issue.

We made a couple of changes and added on couple of projects and he adjusted as needed for us. He also had a couple of creative suggestions for us which we appreciated. The crews and sub contractors were professional and dependable and I felt good and did not worry about having them in my home.

Just like others during this time there were supply chain issues and Dave dealt with these issues professionally and communicated with us. Dave is honest, and the work was done the way we expect, I’m picky, and it turned out beautiful.

I would work with Dave again and highly recommend him."

"We had hired David to finish up a kitchenette/wet bar area in our basement and transform an unfinished storage room to a gym room and we are happy with the results.

David communicated well throughout the process so that there were no surprises and made himself available to answer any questions or concerns we may have had.

Also, despite the craziness in construction these days with regards to worker and material availability, he was able to get all of the work done as planned (we had a strict deadline).

Overall, after vetting a few contractors out there, we are glad we decided to choose David for our project!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern conference room with a long meeting table, black mesh chairs, large wall-mounted screen, wood-paneled walls, glass partitions, and potted plants for a touch of greenery.

Yes—Lehi requires permit submittal via the city’s online portal. Separate fire permits may apply, and restaurants require county health plan review. We manage all of it.

How long does a typical TI take?

Timelines depend on scope, review times, and inspections. Our pre-construction phase shortens overall duration by front-loading decisions and packaging a clean submittal, then coordinating inspections proactively with Lehi.

What’s a TI allowance?

An amount contributed by the landlord toward your build-out, often structured per square foot. Nationwide, allowances and fit-out costs vary; we align your allowance with a transparent budget so you can prioritize finishes and systems.

How much do office or retail fit-outs cost?

Costs vary by market, finish level, systems, and shell condition. National guides show typical office fit-out ranges; some reports note rising build-out averages (e.g., 2024 SLC cost context). We’ll price your specific drawings and scope so there are no assumptions.

Will construction disrupt neighboring tenants?

We plan phasing, protection, and off-hours work where feasible, and coordinate with building management to minimize noise, dust, and access impacts.

What about a change of occupancy?

If your new use differs from the prior one (e.g., office to restaurant), additional code items may trigger. We identify those early and incorporate them into your plan set.

Ready when you are

We’ll meet you at your space—or virtually—review your goals, and map a clear, code-ready path to opening day.
