Commercial construction built on clear plans
Retail, industrial, institutional, and multifamily construction across Spokane and North Idaho. Work like Ashley Furniture’s 101,000-square-foot NorthTown flagship, remodeled and reopened in under six months.
Commercial construction we handle across the Inland Northwest
Most of our commercial work falls into a handful of project types. If yours looks like one of these, it’s worth a conversation.
Tenant improvements
Build-outs and renovations shaped around the business, the lease, the schedule, and the space you already have.
Commercial remodels
Interior and exterior remodels for retail, office, and mixed-use buildings, including demolition, finishes, and phased work around operations.
Retail and showroom
Sales floors, showrooms, and storefronts built to move customers through the space and hold up to daily traffic.
Office and workplace
Workplace improvements, conference and common areas, and layout changes we can phase so your team keeps working.
Multifamily construction
Ground-up and renovation work on apartments, plexes, and mixed-use residential buildings across the region.
Medical and professional
Clinics, offices, and professional spaces built to code, with the finishes and coordination those uses require.
Ashley Furniture, NorthTown Mall
Ashley’s NorthTown Mall store needed a full remodel on a tight retail timeline. Breaking ground in spring 2025, we handled extensive interior demolition and reconstruction across more than 101,000 square feet, including an 80,000-square-foot showroom remodel and a 27,000-square-foot basement overlay, with custom casework and full interior and exterior painting. Delivered in under six months, coordinated with an out-of-state owner’s representative.
Preconstruction first, then a schedule you can count on
Most commercial projects go sideways before anyone breaks ground. We front-load the budget and the schedule so the surprises show up on paper instead of on site.
Preconstruction & budget
Constructability review, value engineering, cost estimating, and a real schedule, all before drawings are final. Most budget problems get solved here, not in the field.
Fixed bid, not cost-plus
You’ll get a fixed bid with clear inclusions and exclusions. The price holds unless you change the scope, or material costs jump more than 10 percent, which we’d bring to you in writing.
Schedule & site logistics
Phasing, site access, and, if you’re staying open, exactly how we work around your operations. Long-lead procurement starts here.
Trusted crews
On commercial work we pair our own in-house crews with subcontractors we’ve vetted and worked with for years, so the right team is on every part of the job. Written updates every week.
Closeout & warranty
Punch list, O&M documentation, and a two-year workmanship warranty. That’s double the regional standard.

Everything here is ours, all of it in the Inland Northwest. Filter to your project type.

What you need before you can put us on a bid list

What owners ask us first
What size commercial projects do you take on?
Our commercial work generally runs from tenant improvements in the low six figures up through projects like the 101,000 sq ft Ashley Furniture remodel. If yours is much smaller than a full TI, our residential team is usually the better fit, and we’ll point you there.
We work design-build, CM/GC, and hard bid. We do our best work when we’re brought in during design, because that’s when the budget and the schedule actually get decided, but we bid completed drawings regularly and we’ll tell you which approach fits your project.
Can you work in an occupied building?
Yes, and a good share of our commercial work is exactly that. When a building has to keep operating, the phasing, dust and noise control, and after-hours work get planned during preconstruction rather than improvised later. We coordinate closely with your team so day-to-day operations keep moving.
How firm is your bid?
We bid fixed price, line item, with the inclusions and exclusions listed so you can see exactly where the edges are. The number holds unless you change the scope. The one exception is written into our contract: if material costs move more than 10 percent between signing and buyout, we come back to you with options instead of absorbing it quietly or surprising you on an invoice. Our proposals are good for 14 days.
Changes get handled in writing and signed before the work happens. The only exception is small stuff at $500 or less, which we can start on so a trivial item doesn’t hold up the schedule. You’ll still see it documented.
How does payment work?
A straight monthly draw schedule based on work completed. We don’t require a down payment on commercial projects. You’ll see the full schedule before you sign, not after.
What is not included in your bid?
Every proposal lists its own exclusions, but a few are standard. Design, engineering, and blueprints sit on your side, along with permits and bonds. Hazardous material testing and remediation is the owner’s responsibility if we run into asbestos or lead paint. Site items like security fencing, temporary utilities, and waste disposal are yours unless we’ve priced them in. If anything looks ambiguous, ask before you sign. We’d rather have that conversation early than argue about it in month three.
Tell us about the project
The more you can tell us up front, the faster we can tell you whether we’re the right builder for it, and give you a real number instead of a range.
If it’s easier, just call. You’ll get a person who can actually talk about your project.
