Everything between the shell and opening day
Brand-Spec Build-Out
We build to brand standards — reading corporate prototype drawings, matching spec finishes, and delivering spaces that pass corporate inspections on the first walk.
Custom Millwork & Fixtures
In-house millwork coordination for custom displays, shelving, counters, and brand-specific fixture systems. Locally fabricated or sourced to spec.
Electrical & Lighting
Retail lighting is part of the brand experience. We execute lighting plans precisely — track systems, accent lighting, display lighting, and control systems.
Storefront & Facade
Storefront glazing, signage rough-in, ADA-compliant entries, and exterior finishes that match your brand's street presence and the landlord's requirements.
Launch-Schedule Delivery
Retail openings are tied to lease commencement dates, marketing launches, and inventory arrival. We build schedules around your opening date — not the other way around.
Multi-Location Experience
We've built Rothy's, Malin+Goetz, and Thom Sweeney across multiple LA locations. Consistency across a portfolio is a discipline we understand.
Brands we've built in LA
From lease signing to keys in hand
Lease & Landlord Coordination
We review your lease exhibit and work with the landlord's property manager on TI allowance, demising conditions, and any base building tie-ins.
Permit & Plan Check
Building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical permits filed simultaneously. We manage LADBS plan check and push for expedited review where available.
Demolition & Rough-In
Existing tenant improvements demolished, MEP rough-in installed, framing complete — all sequenced to protect your opening date.
Millwork, Fixtures & Finishes
Custom millwork installed, flooring laid, fixtures set, lighting trimmed out, and all brand-spec finishes applied per your design documents.
Punch & Certificate of Occupancy
Final punch list walked with your team, CO obtained, and keys turned over. We're not done until the space is ready for merchandise and customers.
Common questions
How long does a retail fit-out take in Los Angeles?
A typical retail TI in Los Angeles runs 45–90 days from permit approval depending on scope. Simple refreshes take less; full gut build-outs with custom millwork take longer. econstruct provides a milestone schedule before construction begins so your opening date is real.
Can you build to a national brand's prototype drawings?
Yes. We regularly build from corporate prototype packages for national brands. We read the drawings, match the specs, and deliver spaces that pass corporate inspections. We also flag any local code conflicts early so the drawings get adjusted before they cause field problems.
How do you handle tenant improvement allowances?
We work with your landlord's property manager on TI allowance documentation, draw schedules, and lien waivers. Getting the TI allowance right requires contractor cooperation — we make it straightforward for your real estate team.
Do you handle multi-location rollouts?
Yes. We've built multi-location retail rollouts across LA for several brands. Consistency across locations requires the same team, same standards, and the same discipline on every build — that's how we operate.
