Planning a tenant improvement or commercial interior build-out? Contact Prism Construction today for a seamless delivery from start to finish.
Tenant improvements (TI) are often the final, and most critical, phase of preparing a commercial space for occupancy. Whether it’s fitting out a retail store, customizing an office layout, or preparing an industrial unit for a new lease, the quality and coordination of interior build-outs can significantly impact timelines, tenant satisfaction, and long-term performance.
At Prism Construction, tenant improvements aren’t an afterthought. We approach them with the same professionalism, attention to detail, and coordination we bring to large-scale base building projects. Our goal is to ensure that every interior space is delivered on time, built to spec, and ready for the tenant to operate with confidence from day one.
Tenant improvements refer to the customization or build-out of a leased space to meet the operational needs of the tenant. These improvements can range from light cosmetic updates to full-scale reconfigurations of mechanical, electrical, and structural systems.
Common examples include:
Depending on the lease terms and agreement structure, the tenant, landlord, or developer may be responsible for managing the TI scope. In all cases, proper planning and execution are key to avoiding delays and budget overruns.
Tenant improvement projects may appear simple on the surface, but they often involve tight deadlines, coordination with third-party vendors, and multiple stakeholders. If mismanaged, they can result in:
That’s why developers and property managers across British Columbia partner with Prism for tenant improvements—we bring structure, clarity, and execution experience to every TI build.
At Prism, we provide a structured process to ensure that tenant improvements are delivered without surprises or delays. Here’s how we make it work:
Before construction begins, we work with the tenant, landlord, and consultants to define the scope of work. This includes:
This early alignment helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures that everyone is working from the same set of expectations.
Tenant improvements must comply with the BC Building Code and all applicable municipal bylaws, especially when they involve fire separations, mechanical systems, or a change of use.
Prism supports the permitting process by:
This allows tenant spaces to be approved and operational without last-minute revisions or failed inspections.
TI projects often occur within an active or partially completed base building. This means coordinating carefully with landlords, other tenants, and base building trades to avoid overlap and keep the schedule intact.
Our team ensures:
With Prism managing the site, clients can focus on their business or leasing goals, not chasing updates or solving coordination issues.
