Planning the Office Around Your Business
If you’re planning to build an office, you’ve probably already thought about how many rooms you’ll need and where everyone will work. But once you start putting those ideas into a floor plan, you may find that a conference room needs more room than just the table and chairs, and hallways take up space you hadn’t accounted for.
We handle ground-up office building construction in Dallas–Fort Worth, working with business owners building their own offices and investors planning multi-tenant properties, alongside our multifamily and restaurant & coffee shop construction services. We’d rather talk about how you’re going to use the rooms before those walls go up – once the electrical, air conditioning, and drywall are installed, changing the layout gets a lot more expensive.

Building Offices for Multiple Tenants
If you’re planning to rent out the building, there are a few more things to work through – separate suites with their own entrances, or one main entrance with a shared hallway. Will each tenant have a separate electrical meter? Are the restrooms shared? You may want some flexibility to move interior walls or combine smaller suites later, and that has to be considered when the building is designed.
Electrical, Comfort & Site Work
There’s a lot more electrical work in an office than just outlets around the walls – computers, monitors, conference room displays, security equipment, and internet connections all need to be planned before the electricians start their work. North Texas summers can make for uncomfortable offices when the cooling system isn’t sized for the building layout, and we’ll also need to look at the site plan for parking, entrances, and drainage.

Put Together a Proposal

Final Walkthrough

Good Questions
Office Building Construction Questions
Yes, smaller standalone office buildings are among the commercial projects we consider. We’d need to see the property information and plans to discuss the work.
We also consider multi-tenant office buildings. We’d want to know how the suites will be arranged and whether they’ll have separate utilities or shared areas.
Yes. We can review the architectural drawings you’ve had prepared and discuss the construction work. Any remaining design and engineering responsibilities will need to be established.
That may be possible. It depends on the property, structure, utilities, and what the city allows. Let your architect know about those plans early.
The price depends on the size of the building, property conditions, interior layout, utilities, and finishes. We’d need to look at the drawings before giving you a meaningful estimate.
They can be included when they’re part of the approved plans and construction agreement.
That depends on the building size, permitting, site work, materials, and inspections. We can discuss a proposed schedule once we’ve reviewed the plans.
