Interior Fit-Up
From base-building shell to a finished office your team wants to come to.
Whether you are taking new space or reworking a floor you already lease, we deliver the complete tenant improvement: walls, ceilings, mechanical and electrical, finishes, millwork and everything needed to open the doors.
Overview
Overview
A fit-up is where most of the decisions about your workplace become real. It is also where landlords, engineers, inspectors and a dozen trades all need to align on a schedule that usually has a fixed lease date at the end of it.
We have built out every TCC Canada centre ourselves, in Class A towers in Vancouver, Toronto and Ottawa. That means we know how base-building systems are typically set up, what landlords expect in their tenant design criteria, and how to sequence a floor so it is ready when you need it.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is an office fit-up?
An office fit-up, often called a tenant improvement, is the construction work that turns leased space into a usable office: partitions, ceilings, lighting, mechanical and electrical distribution, finishes, millwork and the approvals needed to occupy it.
How long does an office fit-up take?
It depends on size, complexity, permitting and long-lead items such as glazing or mechanical equipment. We build a realistic schedule during planning, including permit and landlord review time, and update it as design decisions are made.
Do you work in buildings managed by large landlords?
Yes. Our centres are in Class A buildings, including properties managed by Cadillac Fairview, and we are familiar with landlord drawing reviews, start-up packages and work permit processes.
