Overview

Calgary’s retail build-outs contractor

A retail build-out is high-stakes and tightly timed — the storefront has to open on the landlord’s signed delivery date, the brand kit has to be applied correctly, and inspections have to clear before the soft launch. We’ve built retail across Calgary’s major centres (CrossIron, Chinook, Market Mall, Stephen Avenue, inline strip plazas) for franchise tenants and independents.

Most retail projects require a custom shop-drawing package from your brand standards team, a CCDC-2 stipulated-price contract, landlord sign-off, City of Calgary permits, and an aggressive build schedule. We’ve delivered fast-casual restaurants, fitness studios, fashion retail, grocery, and specialty stores — same template, different brand kit.

Why Choose Us

Why Calgary businesses pick our team

Brand standards executed correctly

We work from your franchise’s shop drawings — finishes, fixtures, lighting, colour, signage — and deliver a store that the brand inspector signs off without rework.

Landlord-friendly delivery

Centre management, mall security, after-hours access, dock scheduling — handled. Our PM has worked with every major Calgary mall ops team.

Frequently Asked

Questions, answered

How much does a retail build-out cost in Calgary?

Calgary retail build-outs typically run $150–$400 per square foot depending on brand finish level, mechanical complexity, and storefront work. Fast-casual restaurants and grocery trend higher; soft-goods retail trends lower.

How long does a retail build-out take?

Most Calgary retail tenant improvements run 6–14 weeks of construction depending on size and complexity, plus 4–8 weeks of design, permitting, and landlord/mall ops sign-off.

Can you work to a hard soft-launch date?

Yes — every retail project we quote is built around the landlord’s delivery date and your brand’s grand opening. We backplan from that date and order long-lead items first.

Do you work with franchise shop drawings?

Yes — we receive franchise CAD packages, generate the local permit drawings, source brand-spec fixtures and finishes, and pass the final brand inspection before grand opening.

Can you coordinate with mall operations?

Yes — dock scheduling, after-hours access, security escorts, common-area protection, and inspection sign-offs. We’ve delivered builds in every major Calgary shopping centre.
