Tenant Improvement Permit Drawings
Permit sets for commercial fit-outs and TI work: demising walls, new layouts, and the MEP that has to follow. Coordinated as one set so the trades do not contradict each other.

Frequently asked questions about Tenant Improvement Drawings
What drawings does a tenant improvement need?
Typically a demolition plan, proposed floor plan, life safety plan, reflected ceiling plan and full MEP. The exact set depends on the occupancy and how much you are changing.
Do I need architectural drawings if I am only moving walls?
Usually yes. Moving partitions changes egress, occupant load and often accessibility, so the jurisdiction wants to see the whole picture rather than a partial plan.
Can you coordinate with the landlord base building requirements?
Yes. Send us the base building standards or shell drawings and we design within them, which avoids a second round of corrections from the landlord after the city approves.
