We build the spaces Ohio businesses open in.
Commercial buildouts, adaptive reuse and construction project management, from existing conditions to opening day.
- Ohio MBE Certified
- Ohio EDGE Certified
Building is complicated. You deserve one point of accountability.
Design, budget, permits, trades, inspections and branding usually sit with five different people. We carry all of it, from the first walk-through to the day the doors open, so owners make decisions instead of chasing them.

Plan the business and the buildout together
Our business plans and pro formas have helped 5+ entrepreneurs secure over $700,000 in funding.
A space only works if the business inside it can pay for it. We help owners plan the business and the buildout together, so the numbers and the floor plan agree.
- Business plans written for lenders and investors
- Pro formas and financial projections
- Buildout budgets tied to the plan
- Advice from an owner who runs his own restaurant
