Plumbing and HVAC for new construction and tenant improvement projects.
Plumbing and HVAC for new builds and buildouts
New construction and tenant improvement projects depend on plumbing and HVAC being installed at the correct point in the build sequence, since rough-in work that does not match the final layout can mean reopening finished walls or ceilings. On a new construction project, plumbing and HVAC rough-in happens after framing and before insulation and drywall, following the architectural and engineering plans provided for the project. On a tenant improvement, the work usually happens inside an existing shell, which means confirming what utilities are already available before planning new runs.
Coordination with the general contractor, architect, and other trades matters most during rough-in, since plumbing supply and drain lines, along with HVAC ductwork and equipment placement, need to fit within the framing and ceiling space allotted for them. A walkthrough of the plans and site conditions happens before work starts, to identify possible conflicts with structural members, electrical runs or ceiling space before those areas are closed. Changes to fixture locations can also alter drain slope and vent routing, not just the visible connection.
Bidding and scope for TI projects
Tenant improvement scope varies widely, from relocating a few fixtures and adding a mini split for a new office suite to a full kitchen buildout for an incoming restaurant tenant with grease trap and ventilation requirements. A walkthrough of the space and a review of the project plans or scope of work is needed before a bid can be prepared, since pricing depends on the specific layout, existing conditions, and finish requirements.
Bids are provided in writing and reflect the actual scope reviewed on site rather than a generic rate per square foot, since two buildouts of the same size can have very different plumbing and HVAC requirements depending on the intended use of the space.
Working with your project team
Scheduling for construction and tenant improvement work is coordinated with the general contractor's overall timeline, so plumbing and HVAC trades are sequenced correctly with framing, drywall, and finish work. Contact the Tempe shop at 1917 E 5th St to discuss an upcoming new construction or tenant improvement project and request a walkthrough.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work directly with general contractors on new construction?
Yes, plumbing and HVAC rough-in and finish work are coordinated with the general contractor's schedule and the project's architectural plans.
Can you handle a restaurant tenant improvement with grease trap requirements?
Restaurant tenant improvements can involve grease lines and changes to mechanical systems. Review the proposed plumbing and HVAC scope with the project plans before work is priced.
How is a tenant improvement project bid?
A walkthrough of the space and project plans is needed first, since pricing depends on the specific layout and existing conditions rather than a flat rate.
What information do you need before bidding a new construction project?
Architectural and engineering plans for the project, along with a site walkthrough, are used to prepare a written bid that reflects the actual scope.
