Tenant Improvement Electrical FAQs: What Houston Businesses Need to Know

What exactly are electrical tenant improvements?

Electrical tenant improvements are changes to a business space’s power systems to fit your needs. This includes adding outlets, lights, panels, and special wiring for your business. These changes turn basic empty spaces into working business locations or update old spaces for new uses. The work can be small updates or complete electrical installations.

How much do electrical tenant improvements cost in Houston?

Costs vary based on your business type and space size. Small office work might cost $2-5 per square foot. Restaurants or medical offices with special equipment typically cost $7-15 per square foot. A basic 2,000 sq ft store might need $5,000-10,000 in electrical work, while a similar-sized restaurant could need $15,000-30,000. We give detailed quotes based on your specific business.

How long do electrical tenant improvements take?

The time depends on project size. Simple office electrical work might take 3-5 days. Stores typically need 1-2 weeks. Restaurants or medical offices with complex systems can take 2-4 weeks for electrical work. We can often work alongside other contractors to keep your schedule on track. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we meet.

Who's responsible for electrical tenant improvements – the landlord or tenant?

This depends on your lease. Many leases include a “TI allowance” that covers basic improvements, with you paying for anything extra. Some landlords provide spaces with basic power, while others offer only empty spaces needing complete electrical work. We can work with either you or your landlord, and can help you understand what work falls under typical lease terms.

Can you work with my general contractor on my build-out?

Yes! We often work as part of build-out teams with general contractors. We coordinate our electrical work with other trades to keep projects moving smoothly. We can join your project at any stage – whether you’re just starting or need to replace another electrician. We also work directly with business owners who are managing their own projects.

Do you handle permits for electrical tenant improvements?

Yes, we handle all electrical permits and set up inspections with local authorities. Business spaces in Houston need proper permits for electrical work, and as licensed contractors, we manage this entire process. We make sure all work meets current codes. Having permitted work is important for insurance and avoids problems with future updates.

What common electrical issues come up during commercial tenant improvements?

Common problems include: not enough power in older buildings for modern needs; not enough panel space for new circuits; old wiring that doesn’t meet current codes; improper changes by previous tenants; and coordination with HVAC and plumbing contractors. Our experience helps us find these issues early and fix them before they delay your project.

Can you help with specialty electrical requirements for my specific business?

Yes! We have experience with many special business needs: restaurant kitchen equipment; medical equipment with specific power needs; salon stations with dedicated circuits; retail display lighting; computer rooms and networks; and manufacturing equipment setups. We’ll work with you to understand your unique business and design electrical systems that fit.

How do I plan electrical needs for my new business space?

Start by listing all equipment your business will use and how much power it needs. Think about computers, special equipment, lighting, and future growth. Consider where outlets should go based on your floor plan and furniture. For complex spaces like restaurants or medical offices, we suggest professional electrical planning early. We offer planning meetings to help identify needs you might not have thought about.

Can you handle both the design and installation of my tenant improvement electrical work?

Yes, we do both design and installation for business tenant improvements. For simpler projects, we can create electrical plans as part of our installation. For more complex projects needing engineering drawings, we work with licensed electrical engineers to develop detailed plans, then do the installation. This approach helps ensure your electrical systems work right for your specific business.
