COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION

Commercial construction

Whether you are planning a new office building or retail shop, updating an aging structure, or simply optimizing your space to facilitate business growth, we offer custom solutions that meet your requirements.

By incorporating value engineering and constructability of design into our approach, our clients benefit by adding value without adding expense. Our experience as developers allows us to view every project as owners as well as contractors.

MORE THAN CONTRACTORS

Our level of service exceeds that of traditional contractors who lack experience as large scale developers. We have developed retail centers and family neighborhoods over the past 20 years and we continue to do so today.

“We understand your needs as an owner and leverage our experience as developers to provide real value.”

Value Engineering

We approach every project with an owner’s eye for improvement. This means we constantly seek to reduce your costs by suggesting alternate designs and materials you may not have considered.
Value engineering through constructability of design has guided our delivery of services for over 20 years. It’s how we differentiate ourselves as true building partners.

“Our goal in value engineering is to realize an owner’s or designer’s vision while minimizing their costs.”

COMMERCIAL TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

Leasehold (Tenant) Improvements provide you with the flexibility to reconfigure or optimize interior spaces to better suit your business and your customers.

Tenant Improvement projects come with unique challenges that can quickly escalate budgets and extend schedules if left to the inexperienced. GLA Morris offers its years of expertise and agility in transforming occupied spaces.

“Jeremy did a great job of explaining the permitting process. He knew exactly what was required with the building department, which saved me time and money. When it came time to build, his team just executed and got the job done.”
