Tenant Improvement Questions — Answered
Tenant improvements (TIs) are modifications made to a leased commercial space to customize it for a specific tenant's operational needs. Common examples include adding private offices, upgrading electrical capacity, building out restrooms, installing new flooring, and reconfiguring floor plans. TIs can be funded by the landlord (as a TI allowance), the tenant, or split between both parties as negotiated in the lease.
Yes — most structural, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC work in commercial tenant spaces requires permits from the Village of Palatine Building Department. Alta Property Services handles all permit applications, required drawings, and inspection scheduling as part of every TI project, so you never have to navigate municipal requirements alone.
Timeline depends on scope and permit processing time. Simple cosmetic refreshes (paint, flooring, lighting) can take as little as 1–2 weeks. A full office fit-out with electrical, plumbing, framing, and finishes typically runs 4–10 weeks. We build a detailed milestone schedule into every proposal and communicate progress weekly so you can plan your lease start date with confidence.
Absolutely. We regularly work within TI allowance structures, providing the detailed, itemized proposals landlords and tenants need to allocate funds correctly. We can also communicate directly with the property management team to streamline approvals and payments. Learn more about our property management company services.
Yes. ADA compliance is a common trigger for tenant improvement projects, especially when a new tenant's use changes occupancy classification. We assess door widths, accessible restroom requirements, parking access, and signage, then integrate required upgrades into the build scope. We also handle standalone code violation repairs if deficiencies are flagged during inspection.
