Your plans start with your scope.

Every commercial space is different — bring us your scope. Send us the address, the lease and what the space has to become, and we will walk you through what the building, fire and accessibility reviews typically ask for.

These are the reviews and limits that typically govern this work. Most are set by your jurisdiction and by the building, fire and accessibility codes — they are requirements, not starting points. We confirm exactly which ones apply to your address and scope before design starts. See regulations by city. Statutes reviewed 4 August 2026.
