Tenant Improvement Project Timelines

Potential Timelines for Tenant Improvement Projects

Project Size

The duration of your tenant improvement project typically depends on the size of the build. For smaller projects that include minor changes such as painting, flooring, or other small repairs, expect anywhere from two to four weeks.

Larger projects can take anywhere from six weeks to six months, depending on what your needs are. Projects like new partitioning, electrical updating, or plumbing repairs may take between six and twelve weeks. If you’re expecting to do a complete build out of your space, change its structure, or install new systems, expect the timeline to be longer–anywhere from three and six months.

Other Factors to Consider

Several other factors besides project size need to be considered in terms of project duration. Permit approvals may delay a project significantly and are known to push start dates back,

Material availability is another factor to consider. If a certain needed material isn’t available for purchase or if your materials need to be custom-made, this can delay construction to a certain degree.

Lastly, minimal disruption is a major concern for builders, so coordinating with any existing tenants may lead to scheduling construction in phases rather than all at once.

However long the tenant improvement project takes, clear communication is key to its success. Be sure to schedule regular progress meetings to identify potential issues early on to minimize delays.
