From the site to the completed building
A ground-up project connects site work, utilities, structure, roofing, exterior walls and interior construction. The exact package depends on the design and how the building will be delivered. Identify owner-supplied equipment and any work reserved for a future tenant so the project has a clear completion point.
A shell or a finished business space?
A shell leaves defined interior work for a later project. A completed building also needs the rooms, finishes and services required for its proposed use. Office, retail and industrial uses can require different layouts and equipment coordination. Decide what should be ready at handover before treating the projects as comparable.
What to compare in a written proposal
- Site work, utilities, building shell and interiors included
- Shell delivery or finished-space requirements
- Design team, owner equipment and long-lead decisions
- Construction milestones and occupancy handoff
