Tenant improvements, open plan conversions, private office buildouts, conference rooms, accessibility upgrades, flooring, ceilings and full interior renovations, managed across Central Florida under one general contractor license.
Free EstimateTwo situations bring most office clients to us.
The first is a tenant improvement. A new or renewing tenant needs the suite configured for how they actually work, or an existing tenant has outgrown the layout they signed for. Private offices open into collaborative floor. Conference rooms appear where open plan used to be. The work happens inside an occupied building against a lease commencement date, so the deadline is hard from day one.
The second is an owner renovation. Repositioning a building, refreshing common areas, replacing mechanical and electrical systems that have aged out, or bringing the property into accessibility compliance ahead of a sale. Those get phased across floors so tenants are not all displaced at once.
Both need a contractor who understands how an office building behaves during construction. Dust, noise, access routes and elevator scheduling land on the tenants next door. Treat an occupied building like an empty shell and the complaints land on the property manager's desk.
We have run commercial projects in Orlando since 1985, including office work along the International Drive corridor and in the Sand Lake Road business district. Office jobs sit inside our wider commercial renovation work, and a shell converted into offices follows our warehouse renovation path instead. Call (407) 508-4052 to schedule a walkthrough.
One contract covers all of it.
Removing non structural partitions to open a floor plate, or adding demising walls to carve out private offices. Layout changes drag in ceiling grid work, HVAC rebalancing and circuit extensions to reach the new workstations. We coordinate all three.
Conference room buildouts with acoustic wall assemblies, data and AV conduit, lighting controls, and glass partitions where the layout calls for them. Break rooms and server rooms are covered too.
Drop ceiling replacement or conversion to exposed structure, LED fixtures, lighting controls, and panel work to carry updated loads. Orlando buildings from the 1980s and 1990s still running original grid and T12 fixtures pay for that every month.
Carpet, luxury vinyl plank, polished concrete and tile through reception and common areas. We demo the floor, assess the subfloor, then install the new spec. On a multi suite job we set one standard that survives commercial traffic and photographs well.
Restroom reconfiguration for compliant clearances, path of travel improvements, hardware, signage and ramps. Where a renovation triggers accessibility work, we handle it inside the same permit instead of spinning off a second project that stalls the first.
Lobby renovations, elevator lobby updates, hallway finishes, exterior painting and signage. Common area condition is the first thing a prospective tenant reads on a tour. We schedule it around the adjacent suites.
More often than owners expect, and the threshold is not obvious.
Under ADA Title III, any alteration that affects usability has to comply with the 2010 ADA Standards to the maximum extent feasible. That reaches tenant improvements and restroom updates. What catches owners out is the path of travel rule: once the alteration passes twenty percent of the cost of altering the primary function area, the obligation can extend to the accessible route serving it. The entrance, restrooms and corridors can come into scope without appearing in the drawing set.
Florida has run high for accessibility litigation for years. A building that last addressed accessibility in the 1990s may not meet the current standard, and a tenant improvement can reopen that exposure if nobody checks before permits are filed. Handling it after a demand letter costs far more.
We identify the accessibility scope during the estimate walkthrough. On a simple tenant improvement that is often the restrooms and the suite entry. On a larger renovation near the threshold, we price path of travel work as its own line item. Our approach to commercial work goes into more depth.
Containment, scheduling and communication. None of it is complicated in principle. All of it needs a contractor who plans before the job starts, not one reacting when the tenant down the hall calls.
Dust containment starts with temporary barriers at the work zone perimeter and negative air inside the active area where the scope warrants it. Plastic sheeting alone does not cut it in an occupied building. When HVAC work needs ductwork access above a neighboring suite, we arrange it through property management, outside that tenant's business day.
Noise from demo and concrete cutting is unavoidable. When it happens is not. We identify the loudest phases during the estimate and schedule them early morning, evening or weekend, wherever the lease allows. Property management has that schedule before work starts.
On a phased renovation where several floors run the same scope over months, we build a schedule showing which areas are active, which are finished and what comes next. Every project at Statewide Home Remodeling works that way.
Any structural, electrical, plumbing or HVAC change inside the space needs one. Purely cosmetic work does not: paint, a flooring swap, new ceiling tiles. In practice almost every office renovation touches electrical or mechanical, so almost all of them are permitted.
Properties inside City of Orlando limits go through the city's Permitting Services Division on the Orlando Digital Permits portal, where commercial fees run as a percentage of construction cost, with plan review and a technology surcharge on top. Unincorporated properties go through Orange County on OC FastTrack, and which office applies comes down to the address.
Most office space is classified as Occupancy Group B under the Florida Building Code, and that classification drives the structural, mechanical, electrical and plumbing scope. Change the group and the rules change. Adding a large assembly space does it, and a change of use review may be required on top.
We identify that during the estimate rather than in week eight, and we run it in house: application, plan review, inspections and final sign off.
We work throughout Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties on office buildings, from single suite tenant improvements to phased building programs, along the Sand Lake Road corridor, through downtown Orlando and up into Lake Mary. Larger scopes can be spread with financing through Regions Bank. Call (407) 508-4052 to talk the project through before you put time into a formal estimate request.
