The work your team sees first every morning.
Class A and Class B office tenant improvements built to your RSF, base-building conditions, and lease commencement timeline. Phased delivery for occupied floors, ADA-compliant finishes, and schedule discipline tied to your rent commencement and move-in dates.
Rent commencement and move-in date set the schedule. Everything else flexes around them.
Office TI schedules aren't aspirational. They're contractual. A new lease, an expansion, a relocation: there is a date when the team shows up, and the space has to be ready. Miss it, and the tenant carries duplicate rent while the landlord watches their pro forma slip.
We build the schedule backward from rent commencement. Long-lead items released before drawings are stamped, base-building tie-ins coordinated with the landlord's MEP, phasing sequenced around when each portion has to be inspectable for occupancy. Communication frequency tuned so that if the date is at risk, your CRE team knows weeks before it slips, not days.
Phased Delivery
For occupied floors, work sequenced around hoteling schedules and team utilization. Quiet zones, dust control, after-hours scheduling, and weekend cutovers where required to protect occupancy density.
Brand-Aligned Finishes
Office build-out is the most visible part of a tenant's identity. We coordinate with your designer, your brand standards, and any landlord finish criteria from the work letter to make sure the as-built matches the renderings.
Move-In Discipline
Punch list closed before move-in, not after. Furniture vendors, AV installers, IT/structured cabling teams, and the landlord's building-systems commissioning all coordinated on one calendar so day one operates without surprises.
From full-floor TIs to single-suite refreshes.
Office TI work spans a wide range. What changes is the level of disruption you're willing to absorb. Smaller scopes can fit in evening and weekend windows; full-floor work usually needs phased occupancy or temporary relocation.
We'll help you understand which path fits your business before recommending a scope.
- Full-floor TIs (new tenant build-out, ground-up interior)
- Multi-floor TIs phased across vertical occupancy
- Suite reconfigurations for expanding or subdividing tenants
- Common-area renovations (lobbies, elevator vestibules, restrooms)
- Executive office & boardroom build-outs
- Conference center renovations & AV-ready spaces
- Coffee bar / amenity space build-outs
- Demising work & speculative spec suites
Different buildings. Different conversations.
Class A
Premium buildings with significant landlord standards, building-wide engineering rules, and tenant-finish allowances negotiated upfront. The work requires close coordination with the landlord's construction manager and adherence to building rules & regulations.
We've worked with Class A landlord standards across multiple buildings and bring discipline to the BOMA-style coordination process.
Class B
Functional buildings with more flexibility on standards, but usually more existing-conditions surprises: aging systems, undocumented modifications from prior tenants, and shorter horizons for major upgrades. The work is more forensic upfront.
Our preconstruction process is designed for this environment: walking the space carefully, photographing existing conditions, and pricing the unknowns honestly rather than burying them in allowances.
Sitting on a lease decision, a new-floor build-out, or a multi-market expansion right now? Walk us through the moving pieces, and we'll help you understand what's possible before you commit.
If your team is opening offices in Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Houston in the same fiscal year, you don't need three GC relationships.
Multi-market office expansions are a coordination problem disguised as a construction problem. Different cities mean different building landlords, different jurisdictional inspections, different sub markets. But your team walks into them expecting them to feel like the same company.
Bentwood handles multi-market office build-outs as a single coordinated engagement. Same project lead. Same brand-aligned finish discipline. Same move-in-date methodology. Your team in Indianapolis walks into a space that looks and operates like your team in Nashville. Because the contractor treated them like they did.
Multi-Market Office TI Capabilities
- One Bentwood PM coordinating across all simultaneous office expansions
- Brand-standard finish enforcement at every metro
- Identical move-in-date methodology at every project
- Standardized AV / IT / furniture coordination protocols
- Jurisdiction-aware permitting handled per-market, transparent to your team
- Consistent landlord-coordination discipline across BOMA-style buildings
Our proprietary delivery platform gives your real-estate & facilities team one portal view of every expansion at once. When the Atlanta build hits a snag, your director in Nashville sees it without a status meeting.

Contact BentwoodQuestions we hear a lot.
Can you do office tenant improvements while the floor is occupied?
Yes. We phase the work, control dust and noise, and schedule the disruptive tasks for after hours so your team keeps working.
How fast can an office tenant improvement move?
It depends on scope and permitting. We work backward from your lease commencement or move-in date and tell you what is realistic before you commit, not after.
Do you handle office build-outs across multiple states?
Yes. We run Class A and B office tenant improvements across twenty-two states with one process and one point of contact, which is what multi-location tenants usually need.
