Tenant Improvements

Gheen Builders, Inc. proudly offers our clients the best tenant improvement construction services in Northern California. We specialize in tenant improvements (otherwise known as leasehold or lease-owned improvements) and new/ground-up construction projects for national clients, retail market facilities, commercial properties, and local government projects throughout the Northstate.

Many new restaurants, retail, and office buildings begin as an empty "shell", with only the four walls, one or two doors, and windows, but without interior walls, flooring, ceilings, other finish work, plumbing, electrical, or other completed project components which would otherwise make it a completed building, ready for business.

Tenant improvements are customized alterations a building owner makes to rental space as part of a lease agreement, in order to configure the space for the needs of that particular tenant.

IN ADDITION TO FIELDWORK, WE ALSO PROVIDE:

1. Planning / Building Department Coordination
2. Architectural / Design Services
3. Permit Expediting
4. Cost / Budgeting Estimates
5. Job Site Project Management
6. Scheduling
7. Administrative Support
8. Document Control

Aimed at meeting the expectations of our clients

As commercial tenant improvement contractors, we have discovered that small changes can make a big impact. This is particularly true for a place of business. Sometimes, finding the right rental space means building a new structure, but other times, you may just need a wall moved or flooring switched out. These changes are often structural or architectural changes made to better meet the needs of a business.

These improvements include changes to walls, floors, ceilings, and lighting, among others. In actual practice, these customized tenant improvements usually have a useful economic life of 5 to 10 years, which spans the average commercial lease term. We can help to transform an empty structure into a unique restaurant or other retail business, office building or facility, doctor’s office, dentist’s office, law office, bank or financial institution, or other small business offices.

High Level of Excellence & Great Service

Jim Herberger, Campus President, The Institute of Technology, Redding, CA

Construction companies often claim that no job is too large or too small for them to handle. However, I have seen firsthand that this statement truly applies to Gheen Builders. I would add that large or small every job completed for the Institute of Technology by Steve and his crew has been done with the same high level of excellence and great service. I highly recommend Gheen Builders for any construction project.

Clean Job Site & Professional Personnel

Jack Huff, Supertindent, D.A. Bentley Construction, Chico, CA

I want to take the time to let you know what kind of a working experience I had with Gheen Builders. I very much enjoyed having them on the Chico Buffalo Wild Wings. They are a very professional firm that hires quality people. Their onsite supervision Scott was very professional with an eye for detail. It was some of the cleanest framing jobs that I have seen in a long time. They cleaned up after themselves and kept materials organized. They were familiar with the plans and generated RFI's when needed. I would recommend them for future work. A big AITA BOY goes out to Gheen Builders.

First-rate Contractor

Erik Housh, Managing Partner, MRE Commercial Real Estate, Redding, CA

...It has been a pleasure working with you from start to finish! You and your staff are prompt, courteous, and do first-class work. You took the initiative to solve problems that came up. You interfaced well with the tenant's contractors on site. Under super tight time deadlines, you got the work done on time and on budget. Your pricing was very competitive. In short, Gheen did everything MRE Commercial Real Estate expected of a first-rate contractor and more... I have been in commercial real estate and development for 30 years and I count your firm amongst the best I have encountered.

Outstanding Organization

Michael Sieber, California Equity Group, Brisbane, CA

An organization takes its lead from its leaders, and Gheen shone. Your whole organization was outstanding. California Equity Group practically had daily calls with John Conner in the office, and he was professional, diligent, effective, and always helpful. Scott Gully, the on-site manager, seemed to know everything and had answers. He managed the project, maintained excellent relations with the town, and organized the workforce and subs so that the project moved along on schedule. Bernadette Quinn was so well organized with a process that is challenging - the admin paperwork and billing back-up and lien releases all with a smile you could hear over the phone.
