Tenant improvements are QD Design’s highest-volume specialty: converting leased commercial shells into permitted restaurants, clinics, stores, studios, and offices — typically on a 3–5 week design schedule. Because our architects and MEP engineers are the same firm, TI packages leave our office already coordinated: hood shaft located, panels placed, plumbing routed, egress verified. Landlords approve faster, cities comment less, and you open sooner.
TI Types We Deliver Constantly
- Restaurants: full-service, QSR franchise, food hall vendors — hoods, grease, health department (KPot Dallas, Oumi Sushi Austin, Golden Chick Humble)
- Medical: clinics, med-spas, veterinary, imaging (Pasadena animal clinic, Cypress med-spa)
- Fitness & wellness: F45 + FS8 Katy, Hand & Stone Pearland
- Retail & beauty: salons, lash studios, c-stores, national retail
- Office & industrial: office suites, breakrooms in mission-critical facilities, warehouse offices
The One-Firm Advantage on TIs
A typical TI failure mode: the architect’s layout puts the electrical panel where the hood shaft needs to run, and neither firm owns the fix. In our office the same team resolves it in one working session. That’s why our sets clear review with fewer comments — and why GCs bring us the next project.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do you need from me to start?
The lease exhibit or floor plan (even a PDF or photo), the address, and your intended use and equipment list. That’s enough for a fee proposal within one business day.
Can you work from a site visit if I have no drawings?
Yes — we field-measure and produce as-builts across Texas, then design on top of them.
Do you handle landlord review packages?
Yes, including the LOD/landlord criteria compliance most retail and mall leases require before city submittal.
