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.

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.
