Tenant Improvement
Do you have a lease, a budget and a date you have to open by, but you’re not sure how to bring your vision to life? If so, we’re here to help.
TBI Management builds out leased commercial space across BC including mall stores, offices, restaurants, clinics, gyms and regulated retail.
We also take on the part most contractors’ hand back to you. We see work letters, landlord approvals, insurance certificates, hoarding and after-hours access are ours to chase, not yours.
That’s why national brands trust us with their rollouts, such as our role in 71 new Amplifon locations across Canada. We also managed tenant improvements for 34 Purdys Chocolatier stores across Western Canada.

Tenant Improvements We Build
Every space type carries requirements that never show up on the drawings. A restaurant needs a grease interceptor and health authority sign off. A clinic needs sound separation and equipment coordination. A gym needs floor loading and vibration isolation.
Those are the details that blow up a schedule when a contractor meets them for the first time on your job.
So don’t take an unnecessary risk. We have built enough of the following to price them properly before you sign anything.
- Mall and retail stores
- Offices and full floor fit outs
- Restaurants, kitchens and bars
- Cold beer stores and dispensaries
- Medical and dental clinics
- Fitness studios and gyms
- Warehouse and industrial units
- Multi site and national rollouts
- Code compliance upgrades
If your use is not on the list, call us anyway. The approach does not change. We find the expensive requirements during pricing instead of during construction.
For multi location programs, you get one standard and one point of contact, so store number eleven is built the same way as store number one.
How We Get You Open On Time
Opening dates are won in the first two weeks, before anyone screws in a nail. By the time a project is behind, the decisions that put it there were made a month earlier.
Here is what we are doing while other contractors are still waiting on a start date:
- We read the work letter before we price the job. Most surprise costs are sitting in landlord documents nobody looked at closely.
- We deal with the landlord. Approvals, insurance, hoarding, access and base building trades. You focus on hiring and inventory.
- We work when the building lets us. Nights, weekends, restricted hours. The schedule bends, your opening date does not.
- We order long lead items first. Millwork, equipment, custom glass and specialty lighting, before they can cost you weeks.
- One supervisor stays on your site. Someone who knows the job and catches wrong work before it gets finished.
- You hear from us weekly. What got done, what is next, what is at risk.
Our team is built to absorb the constant changes and the back and forth with landlords, designers and suppliers that eats a budget when nobody is managing it.
That is why our clients keep calling us back for their next location.
Get a Price on Your Tenant Improvement
Send us your drawings, your lease and work letter, and your target opening date and we’d be happy to take a look. There is no charge for the estimate and no obligation.
Once we review everything, we will come back with a defined scope, a real price, and an honest answer on whether that date is achievable. If it is not, we will tell you before you commit and tell you exactly what would have to change.
