Mark Allan Contracting

Retail Buildout Contractor in Metro Atlanta

The problem

You have a storefront to open and a brand standard to hit, often against a landlord’s shell condition that leaves more undone than the drawings suggest. You need someone to reconcile the brand package with the real building and give you a number you can open against.

What's included

Real scope, trade by trade

  • Storefront and entry construction
  • Framing, drywall, and ceilings
  • Brand-standard finishes and fixtures coordination
  • Lighting and electrical
  • HVAC modification
  • Restrooms and ADA compliance
  • Flooring and wall finishes
  • Signage and life-safety coordination
How it works

We reconcile the brand package with the building before we price it.

1

Walk the space

We come out and look at what’s actually there — existing conditions, the capacity of the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing, and what your use will trigger for code and accessibility. Bring whatever you have: drawings, the lease exhibit, your target date. It takes about an hour, and we get on the calendar within days.

2

Get a real number

We scope it trade by trade — not a per-foot guess — and account for permitting and the long-lead items that actually move a schedule. You get a scoped estimate with the inclusions and exclusions spelled out, so you can hand it to your owner or lender and defend it. Not a range, and usually back in days.

3

We build

We pull the permits, order the long-lead items, and mobilize — self-performing the interior trades and managing the rest, in sequence. You get a point of contact and updates at the milestones that matter, through punch and closeout, including the documents you need to occupy.

Common questions

What does a retail buildout cost?
Most retail buildouts we do fall in the $50K–$300K range, depending on the shell condition the landlord delivered and how much the brand standard requires above it.
Can you build to our brand standard?
Yes. We reconcile the brand package with the actual building — which is where the surprises usually are — and give you a number you can open against.
How long does a retail buildout take?
Typically five to twelve weeks of construction depending on scope, plus permitting. Storefront and long-lead fixtures are common schedule drivers.
