Full-Service Retail Build-Outs
Retail environments must be functional for staff and inviting for customers. We understand how to take raw spaces—whether in standalone locations or tenant fit-outs—and turn them into operational retail storefronts that reflect your brand’s identity.
Custom layout execution based on merchandising plans
We build spaces that support display zones, checkout stations, and customer flow for retail efficiency.
Finish selection aligned with store branding
From flooring and lighting to wall treatments and storefront design, we coordinate all finishes according to the brand aesthetic.
Coordination with mall and plaza management
We handle logistics, access, and construction rules for spaces inside active shopping centers or retail complexes.
Restaurant Construction with Health Code Precision
Restaurant projects come with strict mechanical, plumbing, and health code requirements. Our experience working with food-service operations throughout Rochester ensures each build meets those standards while staying true to the client’s design vision.
Ventilation, fire suppression, and hood system integration
We coordinate installation of kitchen exhaust and grease systems to meet Monroe County health and fire code compliance.
