Get a Free TI EstimateA commercial tenant improvement (TI) is the construction work required to adapt a leased or owned commercial space for a specific tenant's operational needs. Whether you're moving into a raw shell, refreshing an existing office suite, or completely reconfiguring a retail storefront, tenant improvements bring the space from its current condition to a fully code-compliant, business-ready environment.
TI projects in South Florida range in scope from simple cosmetic upgrades — new paint, flooring, and lighting — to complex ground-up interior construction involving structural modifications, new MEP systems, ADA compliance upgrades, and specialized buildouts for medical or food service use.
As a Florida Certified Building Contractor (License #CBC1265699), Pajaziti & Associates manages the complete TI process: preconstruction planning, permitting, demolition, framing, MEP coordination, finishes, inspections, and Certificate of Occupancy acquisition.
We work across every commercial use category in South Florida. Here are the most common TI types we deliver:
Retail TI projects require careful attention to customer flow, brand standards, and local code compliance. We build out storefronts, fitting rooms, display areas, point-of-sale zones, back-of-house storage, and ADA-compliant restrooms for retailers throughout Palm Beach County shopping centers and strip malls. We coordinate with landlord requirements and ensure all storefront work matches the center's brand guidelines.
From open-plan collaborative workspaces to private executive suites, we build commercial office environments that are professional, functional, and future-ready. Our office TI work includes conference rooms, reception areas, server/IT rooms, kitchen break rooms, private offices, and full MEP coordination. We work with your architect or can recommend trusted local design partners.
Medical office TI is one of the most complex categories of commercial construction. Exam rooms, procedure rooms, nurse stations, sterilization areas, and specialty plumbing all require precise coordination and code compliance. We have direct experience with medical office, dental, urgent care, physical therapy, and specialty clinic build-outs across South Florida, including compliance with HIPAA-driven layout requirements and infection control standards.
Restaurant tenant improvements in second-generation spaces require coordinating with existing grease traps, hoods, and MEP infrastructure while meeting current health department and fire code standards. We build out QSR, fast casual, full-service dining, and ghost kitchen spaces. See our dedicated Restaurant Construction page for full details on our food service capabilities.
Every TI project follows a structured process designed to protect your timeline, budget, and business opening date.
We walk the space, review existing conditions, and develop a complete scope of work aligned with your lease terms and TI allowance.
Detailed cost estimate and project schedule before any work begins. No surprises.
We submit, track, and manage all permit applications with the local AHJ. We know Palm Beach County's permitting process inside and out.
Managed construction with vetted subcontractors, daily oversight, and final CO acquisition so you can open on time.
Pajaziti & Associates delivers tenant improvement construction throughout South Florida, including:
A commercial tenant improvement is the construction work done to customize a leased commercial space for a specific tenant's needs. This includes demolition, framing, MEP work, finishes, and all work required before the tenant opens for business.
In most commercial leases, the landlord provides a TI allowance (a set dollar amount per square foot). The tenant may contribute funds for upgrades beyond the allowance. In competitive leasing markets like Palm Beach County, landlords sometimes fund the entire build-out to attract quality tenants.
A standard office or retail TI of 1,000–3,000 sq ft typically takes 6–10 weeks from permit issuance. Medical or restaurant spaces can take 12–20 weeks. Permitting is an additional variable we help navigate proactively.
