Office Build-Out Contractor in Plano, TX
Written scope and locked price before any deposit. Permits and inspections handled.
$25,000 project minimum · One-year workmanship warranty
Plano office space does not price as one market. Legacy Business Park carries corporate finish expectations, the Preston Road corridor runs smaller service suites, and the Collin Creek redevelopment is producing a third kind of inventory again. The square footage tells you less about the number than which of those you are signing.
The thing that moves a Plano office budget most often is not the finish package, it is the lease commencement date. Plano dates are usually firm, which means overtime and after-hours work is a real line item rather than a contingency. We price it up front instead of discovering it when the date gets tight.

Office Build-Out in Plano: common questions
How long does a Plano office build-out take?
Design to permit approval averages three to four weeks in Plano, and we pre-file so that review runs alongside finalizing your scope rather than after it. Construction runs one to three weeks for a refresh, four to seven for a standard TI, and six to ten for a higher-end finish-out. The lease commencement date usually sets the schedule, so we work backward from it and tell you at the walk whether it is achievable without overtime.
What does an office build-out cost in Plano?
Light office TI runs $95 per square foot with a $25,000 project minimum. A standard office TI with offices, conference, and reception runs $135 per square foot with a $45,000 minimum. Higher-end work carrying more millwork, glass, and finish detail runs $185 per square foot with a $75,000 minimum. A paint and flooring refresh is $65 per square foot, also with a $25,000 minimum. All-in, including permits, inspections, and project management.
Does Legacy Business Park space cost more than Preston Road?
Usually yes, and not because of the address. Legacy tenants are more often finishing to a corporate standard, which pushes the scope toward the $135 and $185 per square foot bands, while Preston Road service suites more often land in the light TI or refresh range. We price the scope you actually need rather than the one the surrounding inventory implies.
Can you work around our lease commencement date?
That is the normal case in Plano. We work the schedule backward from your date, and if it only closes with overtime or after-hours work, we say so at the walk and price it in writing. The failure mode we are avoiding is a schedule that looks fine on paper and needs unbudgeted overtime in the last two weeks.
