Commercial tenant finishes in Fort Collins require building, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing permits through the City of Fort Collins Building Services Department. The city currently enforces the 2021 IBC and IEBC, the 2020 NEC, and Fort Collins-specific amendments for accessibility and energy code.
FTK Construction handles drawings coordination, permit submittal, plan-review comments, and every inspection through final Certificate of Occupancy. You never wait on hold at the counter.
Tenant finish, also called tenant improvement or TI, is the construction that turns a raw shell or an existing commercial suite into a space a specific tenant can actually operate in. That covers demising walls, offices and treatment rooms, restrooms, HVAC distribution, electrical and data, plumbing, flooring, ceilings, paint, lighting, and signage coordination, all permitted through the City of Fort Collins and finished at Certificate of Occupancy.
It depends on the lease. Most Fort Collins commercial leases include a tenant improvement allowance (TIA) from the landlord, quoted as a dollar amount per square foot, and the tenant pays for anything above that allowance or for upgraded finishes. Some landlords deliver a turnkey build to a defined work letter instead. We bid directly off your work letter or lease exhibit so both sides can see exactly what falls inside and outside the allowance.
Cosmetic suite turns (paint, flooring, ceiling tile, lighting) generally run 2 to 4 weeks. A standard office TI with new demising walls and MEP runs 6 to 10 weeks including permitting. Restaurant and medical build-outs run 10 to 16 weeks because of hood systems, grease traps, medical gas, and longer plan review. We give you a written schedule with your estimate and report progress weekly.
For most office and retail spaces along Harmony, Timberline, College Ave, and Old Town, we deliver a fixed, line-item tenant-finish estimate within 24 business hours of a walkthrough. Restaurant and medical builds typically take 2 to 3 business days because of MEP coordination.
