We handle everything, so you can focus on what matters most—running your business.
Permits and Approvals for Tenant Improvements in Edmonton
Most commercial interior alterations in Edmonton need a building permit from the City before work starts, and a change in how a space is used (for example, turning retail space into a restaurant or medical clinic) can also require a development permit. Electrical, plumbing, gas and HVAC work each carry their own trade permits and inspections.
Permit timelines are one of the most common reasons tenant improvement projects slip, so we plan for them from day one. Our drafting and architectural partners measure the space, prepare the permit drawings and submit them to the City on your behalf, and we schedule construction around the approval so your opening date stays realistic.
Our Design-Build Process
Initial Consultation, Visioning, and Lease Negotiation Consulting
We start with a comprehensive consultation to understand your vision, business goals, and budget. Our experts provide lease negotiation consulting to ensure that your lease terms align with your construction and operational needs. We take the time to address any concerns you may have, setting the stage for a successful project.
Conceptual Design, Planning, and City Compliance
Our design team develops conceptual designs that reflect your vision and business identity. We navigate the complexities of the City of Edmonton’s planning department, ensuring that all necessary permits and approvals are obtained without delays. Our familiarity with local regulations and requirements allows us to manage this process efficiently, so you don’t have to worry about compliance issues.
Detailed Design and Approval
Once the conceptual design is finalized, we create detailed design documents, including architectural plans, material selections, and finishes. We work closely with you to ensure that every detail meets your expectations. Our team also handles all permit applications and works with the City of Edmonton to secure approvals, keeping your project on track.
Construction and Project Management
With the design approved, our skilled construction team brings your project to life. We manage every aspect of the construction process, from scheduling to quality control, ensuring that your project is completed on time and within budget. Our project managers maintain open communication with you throughout the construction phase, providing updates and addressing any concerns.
Final Inspection and Handover
Before handing over the completed space, we conduct a thorough final inspection to ensure that everything meets our high standards and your expectations. We address any last-minute adjustments and ensure that the space is ready for occupancy. Our goal is to deliver a space that exceeds your expectations and supports your business’s success.
Post-Construction Support
Our commitment to you doesn’t end with the handover. We offer post-construction support, including warranties and maintenance services, to ensure that your space continues to meet your needs. Whether you require adjustments, maintenance, or additional services in the future, our team is here to assist you.

For a local retail business in St. Albert, we undertook a complete renovation of their store to align with their brand’s new identity. The project required careful planning and coordination with the City of St. Albert’s planning department. Our team managed to navigate the permitting process smoothly, and the result was a vibrant retail space that has attracted more customers and increased sales.
