Commercial interiors run on a different clock than residential renovations. Your business either stays open through construction or it opens on a scheduled launch date. The jobs that finish on time are the ones where the scope is fully written before demo starts.
Every line item priced, every allowance defined, before demolition begins. Change orders happen in writing before the work does. You know the number you signed is the number you will pay.
Drywall, paint, and custom millwork are in-house. The same team hangs, tapes, paints, and installs the built-ins - fewer handoffs, no "who owns this?" gaps between subs.
Elevator bookings, after-hours access, hoarding, landlord site-manager coordination, and mall construction rules built into the schedule. Neighbouring suites stay operational through construction.
Retail opening dates and office move-ins hold because the schedule was realistic to begin with. Weekly written progress against the plan, not a scramble in the final week.
From walk-in showers and powder rooms, to master bedrooms and tub to shower conversions. Find out which bathroom renovation scope fits the needs of your Toronto project.
Interior construction that finishes a raw shell or existing office into a working workspace. Demising walls, full-height partitions, drywall to Level 4 or 5, interior paint, doors and trim, and built-in reception, storage, and millwork. Handled across single-floor tenant suites up to multi-office layouts of 5,000+ sq ft in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, and Oakville.

“Awat and his team are THE BEST! They painted 8 townhomes for me and fully finished 2 large townhome basements with framing, drywall, flooring, plumbing, electrical and a 2-piece washroom. I highly recommend Adept for small and large jobs.”

We will review the scope with you and return a detailed written estimate with a firm schedule.
Every project gets a written scope with line-item pricing and a firm schedule before demolition begins. We are a good fit for small and mid-sized commercial interiors between 500 and 10,000 sq ft: professional offices, retail stores, clinics, studios, and mixed-use spaces.
| Project type | Typical scope |
|---|---|
| Small tenant suite (up to 1,500 sq ft) | Written scope · 3–6 weeks active build |
| Mid-size office fit-out (1,500–5,000 sq ft) | Written scope · 6–10 weeks active build |
| Retail storefront or in-mall buildout | Written scope · fixed opening date |
| Multi-office layout (5,000+ sq ft) | Written scope · phased schedule |
| Tenant improvement (leasehold) | Written scope · single change log for all parties |
Timelines exclude pre-construction (materials, permit drawings, and building coordination), which happens before Week 1. Retail buildouts run to a fixed opening date; we schedule backwards from that date.
Interior demolition, metal-stud framing, drywall to Level 4 or Level 5 spec, commercial interior painting, doors and trim, custom built-ins and millwork, and punch-list touch-up - all under one accountable crew.
A mid-size office fit-out typically runs 6 to 10 weeks of active build; small tenant suites often close in 3 to 6 weeks. Retail buildouts run to a fixed opening date. Pre-construction (materials, permit drawings, building coordination) happens before Week 1 - a typical mid-size fit-out looks like this:
Pre-construction: written scope confirmed, materials ordered against known lead times, permit drawings received, building coordination scheduled (elevator bookings, after-hours access, hoarding). Nothing gets torn out before this closes.
Demolition, metal-stud framing, drywall hanging. Dust containment kept tight so neighbouring suites stay operational. Loud work scheduled outside tenant hours where the building requires it.
Taping and finishing to Level 4 or Level 5 spec, prime and paint, doors and trim, millwork install: reception, storage, display fixtures. Weekly written progress updates.
Punch-list, deficiency correction, and pre-occupancy touch-up. Final walkthrough on the scheduled date. Warranty handoff in writing.
Long-lead millwork, occupancy-classification changes, and after-hours-only work windows can add 1–2 weeks. We build these into the schedule during pre-construction so the target opening date holds.
Occupied office fit-out · Toronto
Most commercial work we take on happens in occupied buildings with tight access windows, elevator booking rules, and a landlord's site manager to coordinate with. Loud work (demolition, framing) is scheduled outside standard tenant hours where the building requires it.
For in-mall retail buildouts, we work within the mall's construction rules: after-hours work, hoarding, and coordination with the mall project office. Dust containment stays tight enough that neighbouring suites keep operating.
Most commercial interior work in Toronto requires a building permit, particularly when the project changes the floor plan, alters occupancy classification, or affects fire-rated assemblies. The City of Toronto Building Division reviews and issues these permits, and the Ontario Building Code governs the technical requirements.
We do not file the permit application itself - that is your design team's role (architect, interior designer, or code consultant), and the city owns the review and issuance. What we do: scope the project so you know upfront which portions require a permit, coordinate with your architect or designer during design development, build to the approved drawings without field changes that would trigger a revision, and keep the site inspection-ready at every stage.
