Commercial Build-Out Services

A commercial build out can mean a lot of different things. At Hearn Construction, we complete commercial build-outs for restaurants, offices, shopping centers and medical practices in Indianapolis and throughout Indiana. As an Indianapolis-area commercial construction company since 1990, we turn bare shells and outdated layouts into custom spaces that fit the business moving in. Build-outs are one of our core commercial construction services.

Tenant Improvement Contractor for Owners and Tenants

Getting a space ready for a new tenant sometimes means new paint, flooring and minor repairs. In many cases, though, the space must be redesigned and reconfigured to meet the needs of the new business. We work with property owners preparing space to lease and with tenants fitting out space they have signed for. We are conscientious about the building around us, including neighbors who are still open for business.

Restaurant Build Out

Restaurant build-outs come with their own set of challenges, because there are many separate areas involved. We plan each one around how your staff and guests move, and we look for the best way to stay within budget. Areas we build out include:

  • Cook line and food prep areas
  • Storage spaces
  • Dining areas
  • Bar or lounge
  • Waiting areas
  • Restrooms
  • Offices
  • Outdoor patios

Office Build Out

We build out new or existing commercial space into a functional office, from waiting and reception areas to meeting rooms and employee offices. A good office build-out plans for more than desks, so we also consider:

  • Storage for office supplies and equipment
  • Open work areas
  • Copy centers
  • Break rooms
  • Built-in shelving
  • Restrooms

Specialized Medical Build-Outs

Medical offices often need more plumbing than other build-outs because of exam room sinks and patient restrooms. The electrical needs may differ too, because of specialized medical equipment. Our crews install, replace or upgrade plumbing and electrical systems to suit your medical office.

How a Build-Out Comes Together

Many tenants want the design and the construction handled together, and our design-build process does exactly that. Building out space inside a plant or warehouse instead? See industrial build-outs. Photos of finished spaces are in our past projects.
