Do I need an architect for a simple office?

Many jurisdictions require licensed design for commercial permits. Confirm locally.

Can I reuse the last tenant’s plans?

Rarely without updates — codes and layouts change.

TI projects for offices, retail, and light commercial: permits, landlords, MEP coordination, and hiring the right design team.

Tenant improvements turn empty or outdated shells into working space under landlord rules, brand needs, and aggressive schedules.

Tenant, landlord, base-building rules, architect/interior designer, often MEP, sometimes structural for openings or loads.

Business opening dates drive design. Incomplete landlord info is the usual delay — get as-builts early.

Landlord work letters may not cover your vision. Align design to the allowance plus your capital early.
