Real Standards · 2026
Working nights costs more than working days, and any contractor who says otherwise is either absorbing it or planning to find it later. We put the multiplier in the scope as its own line so you can weigh it against what closing for a week would actually cost you.

It carries a multiplier over the daytime rate, and it is stated as its own line in the scope rather than folded into the per-square-foot number. The base standards still apply: refresh $65/SF, light office $95/SF, standard office $135/SF, higher-end $185/SF.

Sometimes, and we will tell you when. If your revenue for that week exceeds the phasing premium, closing is the rational choice and we will schedule it that way. The point of pricing the multiplier separately is that you can actually do that comparison instead of guessing.
That is the standard we work to. On a recent Mansfield medical office we rebuilt the front desk and check-in area entirely after hours, with nightly cleanup and reset, and the suite never closed a business day. In Rowlett we delivered a conference room build and full suite repaint in a three-day window inside an occupied office.
Containment partitions, negative air where the scope calls for it, protected routes for material in and debris out, and a nightly reset that includes the shared areas your customers walk through. In clinical settings that extends to infection-control containment.
Yes, written scope, locked at signing, phasing multiplier included as its own line. Change orders happen only if you request a scope change, and they are priced and approved in writing first.
