It's not uncommon for aspiring entrepreneurs to work for years before the time is right to strike out on their own.  The right time for the Gilbert family was Fall 2023.  We are so honored to be selected to help Sifu Cory and wife Mallory realize their dreams of opening their first Kung Fu gym (Kung Fu Academy of North Texas) in McKinney TX. Located at the NE corner of Custer and Virginia (Next to Sonic)

This is a fairly typical commercial remodel for us.  We're taking a 2nd generation retail space and completely remodeling it.  We are moving a few walls, reworking the electrical and HVAC systems, building a great space for spectators to watch the athletes practice their art, installing a gorgeous new epoxy floor that will feature their logo, and bringing it up to new commercial codes and ADA standards. The results are incredible! Check out the photos below. 

What was once a cold dark shell (nothing but framing) is now a fun, inviting and productive workspace.  

After consulting with the owner to understand his needs and wants, we determined that we would need to move some walls to create the environment he was looking for.  We quickly discovered that some of the walls were load bearing and would play a significant role in how the space could be finished out.  Working with our structural engineer, we were able to devise a system of support beams to carry the overhead load while providing VZure with their desired look and feel. 

The end result is a gorgeous, modern office that provides a place to both work and play, building employee morale and productivity. 

This was a fun build-out and we look forward to working with them again on their next tenant improvement project.

Rockstar Martial Arts in Frisco has moved into a new location and  Northstar Commercial Interiors has completed their remodel. Their new space used to be a dental office. After demoing the existing structure, relocating the bathrooms, HVAC, electrical and sprinkler system, Rockstar, now has a great open space for martial arts training.  

Since the ceiling is open to the roof deck, we needed to rewire the suite to conceal the wiring.  We installed new, modern lighting and painted the roof deck a dark grey.

The walls were finished smooth to display inspiring murals of Jui-Jitsu athletes. A glass wall office, mats and equipment finish off the space. With the remodel complete, Rockstar has a spacious location for classes and competitions for many years to come. 

This was an exciting project. Melissa Eye Associates had a very short runway to get out of their existing location and into a new office. We all know that “time flies” and “things always take longer than we expect”. So, the pressure was on to complete the project ASAP.

We took an empty shell-space and finished-out a beautiful Doctor’s office in record time. The results are fantastic. Dr. Thomas, the staff, and their clients love the results. Check out the pictures below.

Sustaire’s Karate for Kids in Allen needed a better space to accommodate their growing business. After researching many locations, they found an old video rental store with a great location and loads of potential. As a matter of fact, there was also an empty space next door. By combining both suites, a new spacious training center was created.

During the commercial remodel, a demising wall was removed between both suites. The entire space was rewired and the electrical panels were combined onto one meter. An old bathroom was removed, while adding a new office and storage space. Once the drop ceiling was removed, the overhead area was reworked to conceal the wiring. We added new, modern lighting and painted the roof deck black.

The result is a fantastic new space that will support their growth and their athletes well into the future. 

What is a shell space? It is a commercial building that does not have the interior built-out yet. It typically doesn’t have electricity, plumbing or HVAC in place either. It is designed with maximum flexibility in mind, allowing the new owners or tenants to carve out as much space as they need and to build it out to their unique requirements.

In this instance, a Financial Advisor for Edward Jones leased a new shell space in West Frisco. Edward Jones had contacted several contractors to bid on the finish-out. Specializing in small business projects, we are well positioned to win.

Here are a few photos illustrating the various phases of the project.

The medical construction industry is as strong as ever.  What's more, the phenomenon of the Nurse Practitioner practice is gaining much momentum and  Johnson Family Medical is leading the way.

What started as a small practice in a tiny office has exploded after moving into their gorgeous new facility. Taking a cold, dark, shell and transforming it into a beautiful, modern, medical office that patients love, reminds us how much WE LOVE WHAT WE DO...

What is a cold, dark, shell, AKA Shell-Space?  It is a building that only has exterior walls.  There is NO Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, interior walls, ceiling, etc.

Finishing-out a shell-space is a great way for medical and healthcare practitioners to build exactly what you want.

This growing surgical practice was looking to expand.  Like many others, they realized the potential for growth in Frisco, which is consistently one of the nation's best places to live and fastest-growing communities.  It didn't take long to find a prime location on Preston Rd.  All the space needed was a dedicated x-ray room with lead shielded walls. We are always willing to take on small projects like this and delight in helping other businesses grow.

New retail construction and new franchise openings are on the rise.  With so many retail sites sitting vacant, this is a great time to negotiate favorable rent or purchase terms with strong tenant improvement allowances.

The back story:  This new Wild Birds franchise owner had worked in finance for 25+ years and was ready to spread her wings and fly on her own. After finding a prime corner location on Preston Rd., she needed to transform the place to take flight and soar with the eagles.

Ok, enough of the bird puns...This was a really fun construction project that yielded terrific results.  The new store is beautiful and the owner is enjoying tremendous success in delighting clients from all over the United States.

While more and more patients fill their prescriptions online, pharmacy construction is remains strong.  After all, those prescriptions are best filled locally.

The back story:  This Pharmacist/Entrepreneur was looking to expand his online prescription business and found the perfect location. The challenge with many existing buildings is that the floorplan was designed and built for someone else.  Undeterred by the floorplan, his vision was clear and the solution was simple: remove all of the office walls to make room for serious order fulfillment efforts.  And his vision is paying off handsomely.

Click through these retail construction before/after photo's to see the stunning transformation of this old building.

Here's the back story: A growing online beauty supply retailer finally saved enough to open a stand-alone location.  This 10,000 square-foot building was once home to a Chuck E. Cheeses, then a medical practice.

This was a major undertaking.  We had to remove ALL of the existing infrastructure and start from scratch.  The transformation was nothing short of remarkable.

We help small business owners quickly get back on their feet following a disaster.

Disaster Recovery is not something most people like to think about.  Unfortunately, disasters do strike, and we are usually not prepared for what follows.

This client suffered a two burst pipes during the snowpocalypse of 2021.  We received an urgent call late in the evening that their gymnasium was flooding, so I rushed out to turn water off to the building.  The following day, we met to survey the damage and to line out a plan to mitigate his losses and to start the road to recovery.

Our plan included opening up the walls to start the drying-out process right away and to lessen the chances for mold.

We spent many an hour pouring over insurance adjustments, talking with adjusters, providing pictures and market values to help our client greatly increase the amount of his insurance recovery.

If you should find yourself in the middle of a catastrophe, the sooner you can start your disaster recovery efforts the better.

We can help you mitigate your losses, negotiate with your insurance company, and get you back up and running as quickly as possible.
