What's Involved

Office Build-Outs & Medical-Specific Work

A professional office and a medical clinic share the same core build-out — but a clinic adds a layer of plumbing, ventilation, and accessibility requirements a standard office never touches.

Core Office Build-Out

Demising walls that separate your unit from neighbouring tenants, built to the fire-separation rating your occupancy requires.
Flooring, ceilings, and lighting — suspended ceiling grids, LED layouts, and finish flooring selected for a commercial-traffic space.
Electrical and data rough-in — outlets, panel capacity, and low-voltage data/network cabling planned around your workstation layout.
Paint and finishing carried through to a move-in-ready space, not just a shell with drywall up.

Medical & Clinic-Specific

Exam room plumbing — sinks, drains, and supply lines run to each exam or treatment room per your equipment plan.
Accessibility compliance for public-facing space, including door clearances, washroom accessibility, and barrier-free path of travel.
Sound attenuation between exam rooms so patient conversations stay private — a detail generic office fit-ups skip.
HVAC and ventilation sized and balanced for the room count and equipment load a clinic layout adds.

If your space is a restaurant or food-service unit instead, see our restaurant & kiosk construction page — health code and kitchen rough-ins follow a different set of rules than an office or clinic.

Before Any Wall Goes Up

Permits, Code, and Who Signs Off

Commercial tenant space carries its own permit and inspection path — separate from residential, and stricter in a few specific places.

Building Permit

Any change of use, new demising wall, or new plumbing/electrical work in a commercial unit requires a building permit through your municipality. We handle the application and every inspection.

ESA Electrical

Panel work, new circuits, and data infrastructure need an Electrical Safety Authority permit and inspection before the space is turned over.

Accessibility (AODA)

Public-facing commercial space in Ontario has accessibility standards to meet under the AODA — door widths, washroom layout, and path of travel are checked as part of your build-out plan.

Fire Separation

Demising walls between your tenancy and the units around it are built to the fire-rating your occupancy classification requires — not just drywall on studs.

Common Questions

Office & Medical Fit-Up FAQ

Do I need a permit for an office fit-up?

Yes, in almost every case. Any new demising wall, plumbing, electrical work, or change of use in a commercial tenancy requires a building permit through your municipality. We pull and manage the permit and coordinate every inspection so it doesn't land on you.

What's different about a medical clinic build-out versus a regular office?

The core build — walls, flooring, ceilings, electrical — is the same. A clinic adds exam room plumbing, sound attenuation between rooms for patient privacy, HVAC sized for the room count, and accessibility details reviewed more closely because the space is public-facing. We plan for those from the first site visit rather than adding them after the fact.

Can you work around our business hours to avoid disrupting operations?

Often, yes, depending on the scope. For tenant improvement work in an occupied building we coordinate scheduling with you and building management directly, including after-hours or phased work where that keeps you operating. We map this out in the proposal before work starts, not on the fly.

Do you coordinate with landlords or property managers?

Yes. Tenant improvement work almost always involves the landlord or property manager on approvals, building rules, and sometimes shared building systems. We coordinate that relationship directly so you're not the one relaying messages between us and building management.

What is included in your commercial fit-up proposal?

Everything. Labour, materials, permits, project management, and daily cleanup, with a full written proposal and a fixed price before any work begins. The number in the proposal is the number on the invoice unless you change the scope in writing.

Do you work across Durham Region and the GTA?

Yes. We take on commercial projects across Durham Region and the wider GTA. Every project gets the same standard regardless of location — a dedicated point of contact, a written schedule, and permits handled from application to final inspection.

Every project starts with a site visit. Costs and timelines vary too much by scope, square footage, and existing conditions to quote in general terms — book a consultation and we'll walk your space and give you a fixed price in writing.
