Construction Station has been serving commercial clients across the Inland Empire since 2008. The same licensed crew, the same permitting discipline, and the no-subcontractor-revolving-door approach we apply to residential work comes standard on every commercial project — from a 500 sq ft suite refresh in Redlands to a 12,000 sq ft restaurant buildout in Rancho Cucamonga.
Commercial construction demands a different discipline than residential. Deadlines tie directly to lease commencement dates, permit timelines are less predictable, and a delayed Certificate of Occupancy carries real financial consequences for your business. We’ve built our commercial practice around eliminating those risks — with in-house permit drawings, published milestone schedules, and a single project manager accountable from groundbreak to CO.
We hold California Contractor’s License #1108879, are fully bonded and insured, and carry the commercial general liability limits most landlords and property managers require. We’re comfortable working within existing lease structures, landlord work letters, and tenant improvement allowance documentation.
& TI Buildouts
Tenant improvements — TIs in commercial real estate shorthand — are the buildout of leased space to suit a specific occupant. We execute TIs for office tenants, medical and dental practices, fitness studios, salons, urgent care clinics, and specialty retail across San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Whether your landlord is providing a bare shell, a vanilla box, or warm grey shell, we scope and build from wherever the space starts.
Our TI scope typically includes: demising wall framing, interior partition layout, electrical panel upgrades and branch circuit work, plumbing rough-in for break rooms and restrooms, HVAC zoning and ductwork, suspended ceiling systems, flooring (LVT, carpet tile, polished concrete), and all finish work through final cleaning. We coordinate directly with the landlord’s property manager on building standards, shared system connections, and move-in logistics.
For medical and dental TIs, we have experience with the specific requirements of healthcare environments: plumbing rough-ins for dental operatories and sterilization rooms, medical gas blocking and support structures, infection control during construction, and finishes that meet healthcare hygiene standards. We’ve built out dental offices, chiropractic clinics, physical therapy suites, and urgent care centers across the Inland Empire.
We produce permit-ready architectural drawings in-house, coordinate with structural and MEP engineers when required, and manage all city plan check interactions. Most TI projects in Inland Empire jurisdictions reach permit approval within 3–6 weeks of submittal. We track every plan check comment in real time so there are no surprises at your lease commencement date.
Restaurant and retail construction are the most schedule- sensitive commercial projects we build — opening dates are tied to marketing spend, franchise obligations, and lease commencement. We understand what’s at stake and build our project schedules backward from your opening day. Our commercial team has completed restaurant buildouts ranging from fast-casual quick-service concepts to full-service dining rooms and bar programs throughout the Inland Empire.
Restaurant construction scope includes: grease interceptor installation and sanitary sewer tie-in, Type I commercial hood rough-in and fire suppression system coordination, walk-in cooler and freezer blocking and electrical, commercial kitchen MEP rough-ins (gas, 3-phase electrical, floor drains, hand sinks), food service-grade tile flooring with proper slope and coved bases, bar construction including plumbing and undercounter equipment rough-ins, and dining room and restroom finishes to health department and building code requirements.
For retail, we construct storefront systems, display fixture blocking and backing, specialty lighting layouts, POS infrastructure, fitting rooms, backroom and stockroom buildouts, and all front-of-house finishes. We work from brand standard documentation and prototype drawings for franchise operators, replicating the concept across multiple Inland Empire locations when needed.
Health department coordination is part of our standard restaurant buildout process. We prepare the kitchen layout documentation required for health department pre-approval, schedule the necessary inspections, and deliver a facility that passes its health inspection on the first attempt. For existing restaurant renovations, we plan and sequence the work to minimize or eliminate downtime for your operation.
Commercial flooring is one of the highest-impact elements of any business environment — it affects first impressions, employee productivity, maintenance costs, and acoustic comfort. We install the full range of commercial flooring systems for offices, retail spaces, restaurants, healthcare facilities, gyms, and industrial environments across the Inland Empire. Unlike residential flooring work, commercial installations require attention to load ratings, slip resistance ratings, seamless transitions across large spans, and compliance with ADA surface requirements.
Our commercial flooring systems include: polished and decorative concrete (grind-and-seal, densified, stained, and full mechanical polish to any specified sheen level), large-format porcelain and ceramic tile for retail, restaurant, and lobby environments, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) including glue-down and floating systems for commercial-grade use, carpet tile for open-plan offices and hospitality, rubber flooring for gyms, weight rooms, and healthcare, and epoxy and urethane resin systems for commercial kitchens, warehouses, and food service environments.
Subfloor preparation is where commercial flooring installations succeed or fail. We perform self-leveling underlayment pours, moisture vapor barrier installation, concrete grinding and patching, and plywood subfloor replacement as needed before any finish flooring goes down. Our flatness tolerances meet manufacturer warranty requirements for every flooring type we install.
For occupied commercial spaces, we schedule flooring work in phases or sections to keep your business operating during the installation. We use commercial-grade adhesives and coatings with low-VOC options for occupied environments, and we coordinate with your operations team on curing and traffic timelines before returning areas to use.
A well-built office communicates credibility before a single word is spoken. We build and renovate professional offices for law firms, financial advisors, insurance agencies, real estate brokerages, medical groups, and corporate headquarters throughout the Inland Empire. Whether you’re moving into a new suite and need a full buildout, or refreshing an existing space to attract and retain employees in a post- pandemic hybrid environment, we deliver offices that function as well as they look.
Office renovation scope includes: open-plan workstation layouts with power and data infrastructure, private office and conference room construction, executive suite finishes, custom millwork and built-in cabinetry for reception and credenzas, glass partition systems and frameless glass doors, integrated AV rough-ins and display mounting structures, specialty lighting (layered ambient, task, and accent systems), break room and kitchenette buildout, and accessible restroom upgrades. We handle full gut renovations — taking dated office space down to studs and rebuilding completely — as well as targeted refreshes: new flooring, paint, lighting, and millwork in an occupied suite.
For occupied renovations, we work in phases, schedule disruptive work during evenings and weekends, and maintain functional access to all active areas throughout construction. Temporary dust walls with negative air pressure and daily cleanup are standard practice on every occupied office project.
We also handle office furniture decommission and reinstallation coordination — working with your furniture dealer to sequence the construction and furniture scopes so your team moves back into a fully operational office on day one, not a construction site with furniture stacked in the hallway.
California’s access compliance requirements under Title 24 and the federal ADA are among the most stringent in the country — and non-compliance exposes property owners and business tenants to significant litigation risk from serial ADA plaintiffs who specifically target Inland Empire commercial properties. A proactive ADA assessment and remediation program is far less expensive than defending a demand letter. We perform assessments and all required remediation construction for commercial properties throughout San Bernardino and Riverside counties.
Our ADA scope covers: accessible parking stall striping and van-accessible spaces with proper signage, path-of- travel from parking to entrance including curb ramp construction and slope corrections, accessible entry door hardware and threshold corrections, restroom conversions to meet turning radius, grab bar, fixture height, and signage requirements, service counter lowering, and interior route clearance corrections. We document all work with photographs and as-built drawings for your compliance records — documentation that is critical evidence if you ever face an access complaint.
Triggered ADA upgrades — path-of-travel improvements required by California law when you pull a permit for any other alteration — are identified in our permitting review before construction starts, with a cost estimate included in your project budget. We never surface surprise ADA scope mid-project. If you’re planning a TI, remodel, or any permitted commercial work, ask us to include a path-of-travel review in your site walk.
