Tenant improvements have no published starting price: each one is scoped and priced per project after a site walk, lump sum from a written scope before any deposit, and the ranges on this page are for budgeting. The price includes labor, materials listed in the written scope, permits and standard city inspections, project management, mobilization, protection of adjacent areas, cleanup and one-year workmanship warranty. Scope, the condition of the space and the schedule move the number more than square footage does.

Restaurant & Food Service
$45 to $90/SF
Taking over a space that was already a food business and changing the look, not the systems.

$100 to $160/SF
An existing restaurant reworked where the hood, interceptor and gas are already in place and stay.

Specialty MEP and inspection cycles. Medical needs medical-grade vinyl base, infection-control containment during occupied build, sometimes med-gas or dental compressed air, and health-department approval rounds. Restaurant needs hood + makeup-air, grease interceptor, type-I venting, and a separate health-department inspection. None of that is in a standard office build, and trying to fit it inside an office-TI price would understate the project significantly.
Yes, written scope, locked at signing. Change orders only happen if you request a scope change, and they're priced and approved in writing before work proceeds. No surprise overruns absorbed into the final invoice. Hidden conditions (failed MEP behind walls, mold, code corrections unrelated to your scope) are excluded by default and surfaced as change orders if discovered.
