CSLB #1083764 covers General Building (B) and Painting & Decorating (C-33), allowing framing, finishes, painting, and coordinated trades under one accountable contractor.
Lease- and landlord-aware delivery
We align scope with landlord work letters, TI allowances, and move-in timelines so projects stay on track from design through final inspection and occupancy.
Our Process
Our Long Beach office build-out process is designed for commercial and professional tenant improvement projects that need clear budgets, predictable schedules, and clean City of Long Beach permitting.
Assessment & programming
On-site evaluation of the existing shell or second-generation space, landlord requirements, desired layout, MEP capacity, accessibility needs, and target occupancy date.
Scope, budget & design coordination
Written scope with planning-level cost ranges, finish options, and coordination with architects or designers as needed. Alignment with any TI allowance and lease work letter.
Permitting & compliance
Submittal through the City of Long Beach Development Permit Center, plan check responses, and coordination of building, fire, and any related reviews. We sequence so construction can begin promptly once permits are issued.
Construction
Framing, drywall, ceilings, flooring, lighting, power and data, HVAC modifications, restrooms and break areas as scoped, painting and finishes. Quality control throughout.
Walkthrough & closeout
Final inspections, punch list completion, documentation as required, and handoff ready for occupancy and operations.

Landlords often provide a TI allowance expressed per square foot. Actual build-out costs frequently exceed the allowance depending on shell condition and finish level. We help clients understand realistic budgets relative to any allowance in the lease.

What is the difference between second-generation and shell build-outs?
Second-generation space usually needs less demolition and system work and costs less. Warm or cold shells require more extensive MEP, partitions, and finishes and typically sit higher in the cost range.

In the Long Beach / greater Los Angeles market (2025–2026), office tenant improvement and build-out costs commonly range from roughly $50–$150 per square foot for standard commercial office work, with basic refreshes lower and higher-end or more complex fit-outs running $150–$250+ per square foot. Logistics-support and professional office projects with upgraded finishes often sit toward the mid-to-upper end of the range. These are planning ranges only — final pricing depends on existing conditions, finish level, MEP scope, and full project requirements determined by on-site assessment.
Yes. We hold California CSLB license #1083764 covering General Building (B) and Painting & Decorating (C-33). We are licensed, bonded, and insured for commercial tenant improvement work.
Commercial tenant improvements generally require a building permit through the City of Long Beach Building and Safety Bureau / Development Permit Center. We coordinate plan check, inspections, and related approvals.
Timelines vary by size and complexity. Many standard commercial office TIs involve several weeks of design and plan check followed by approximately 6–14 weeks of construction. Shell-to-finish and more complex projects take longer. We provide a project-specific schedule after assessment.
Scope varies but commonly includes partitions, doors, ceilings, flooring, lighting, power and data, HVAC modifications, restrooms or break areas, painting and finishes, and coordination of required inspections. We tailor the scope to the lease, landlord requirements, and operational needs.
Landlord TI allowances are often lower than full build-out cost, especially for higher finishes or shell spaces. We help clients compare allowance amounts against realistic construction budgets so out-of-pocket exposure is clear before work begins.
Our headquarters is in Pasadena. We regularly mobilize for Harbor area and South Bay commercial projects including Long Beach, with efficient project management and crew staging.
Yes. Our dual B and C-33 license allows us to deliver framing, finishes, painting, and coordinated trades as a single accountable team for office build-outs and tenant improvements.
