Our Process

We simplify the complexity of commercial build-outs into three clear phases — Concept & Feasibility, Design & Preconstruction, and Build & Deliver.

Every project starts with clarity. Your Scout Report is the first step in our process, leading seamlessly into the Concept & Feasibility phase.

Each phase gives you tangible deliverables, transparent pricing, and clear milestones so you always know what's next. From first idea to grand opening, you stay informed, in control, and confident in every decision.

Services

Three phases. Clear deliverables. Complete confidence.

01

Concept & Feasibility

See what's possible — and what it will take to make it real.

Before you invest in full design or construction, you deserve clarity. In the Concept & Feasibility phase, you'll turn your business idea into a practical, profitable plan. Together, we'll analyze your site, capture existing conditions, and map early layouts that show how your space can function — and what it will take to bring it to life.

As part of this process, we also review zoning, building code, and permitting requirements to confirm that your concept can be executed safely, legally, and efficiently within your chosen location. This early analysis prevents costly surprises later and ensures that every design decision is grounded in real-world feasibility.

You'll see how the concept fits your location, what it will cost, and whether it delivers the financial performance you expect. The result is a grounded, data-backed foundation that lets you move forward with confidence.

What you'll get:

  • → Verified site and existing conditions documentation
  • → Test-fit layouts and conceptual renderings
  • → Early cost and schedule modeling
  • → Feasibility summary with clear recommendations
Typical Duration
2–4 weeks
depending on project size and site complexity
Phase Outcome
Proven concept & clear path forward

Outcome: You'll leave this phase with a proven concept and a clear understanding of how your space can work, what it will cost, and how it supports your business goals. You'll be ready to advance into detailed design with confidence.

02

Design & Preconstruction

Design it once, design it right.

This is where your concept becomes a complete, buildable design. You'll make key decisions about finishes, fixtures, and equipment while seeing how every choice affects your schedule and budget. Realistic renderings and coordinated drawings help you visualize the space before construction begins, while our preconstruction team ensures every detail is practical, code-compliant, and ready to permit.

By the end of this phase, your project will have a coordinated design package, a guaranteed construction price, and a clear path to build.

What you'll get:

  • → Finish selections, equipment schedule, and FF&E plans
  • → Permit-ready construction documents and engineering coordination
  • → Material takeoffs and construction specifications
  • → Updated schedule and guaranteed maximum price (GMP) proposal
Typical Duration
4–8 weeks
from concept approval to permit-ready design
Phase Outcome
Permit-ready design & guaranteed price

Permitting timelines will vary based on local jurisdiction and review requirements. BuildReady manages the permitting process directly, with in-house expeditors in many cities and trusted partners in others.

Outcome: You'll complete this phase with a fully coordinated, permit-ready project. Your design, budget, and schedule will be aligned, giving you everything needed to move directly into construction.

03

Build & Deliver

Watch your space come to life — from plans to opening day.

With everything approved, construction begins. You'll have visibility throughout the process with regular progress updates, photo documentation, and on-site transparency. Our team manages the build, coordinates vendors, and ensures every finish and fixture matches the plan.

Before walls close, you'll receive detailed MEP rough-in documentation; when construction wraps, you'll get a complete as-built record and closeout package for long-term operations. Your new space is delivered turnkey, move-in ready, and backed by clear documentation for the future.

What you'll get:

  • → Weekly construction progress documentation
  • → MEP rough-in and final as-built captures
  • → Quality control, inspections, and punch-list completion
  • → Complete closeout package with warranties and manuals
Typical Duration
8–24 weeks
depending on scope and permitting
Phase Outcome
Turnkey space ready for business

Outcome: You'll finish this phase with a fully completed, documented, and operational space. Everything will be built to plan, ready for business, and supported by clear records for ongoing maintenance and future improvements.

Project Types

From cosmetic updates to ground-up construction, we handle commercial projects of every scale.

Refresh
Cosmetic or surface-level updates such as painting, flooring, fixtures, signage, or rebranding work. These are fast-turn projects and often recurring for portfolio clients.
Buildout
Interior fit-out of a new or existing shell space to suit a tenant's needs, typically following standard plans and scopes.
Tenant Improvement
More substantial reconfiguration of space involving moving walls, upgrading MEP systems, ensuring ADA and life safety compliance, and integrating new building systems. These projects are usually coordinated with architects and engineers.
Repositioning
Transforming an existing space into a new use or significantly modernizing it, such as converting retail to office or upgrading an older floorplate to Class A standards.
Ground-Up Construction
Developing a new building from the ground up, managing site preparation, permitting, foundation, structure, and full interior and exterior build-out. These projects establish entirely new footprints and are coordinated from concept through occupancy to ensure efficiency, compliance, and long-term performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about getting started with BuildReady.

What is a BuildReady Scout Report?

+ −

The Scout Report is a free, assessment that evaluates a potential property and concept for feasibility. It reviews zoning, site conditions, and basic cost factors to help you understand what's possible before you invest in design or construction.

How much does the Scout Report cost?

+ −

The Scout Report is free. It's designed as an early planning resource to help business owners make informed decisions before committing to larger project costs.

How long does it take to get my report?

+ −

You'll receive your personalized Scout Report by email in less than 24 hours after submitting the form. No upfront calls or meetings are required.

What kind of information will I receive in the report?

+ −

Your report includes a preliminary analysis of zoning, site considerations, and high-level feasibility indicators. It highlights potential opportunities or constraints and outlines likely next steps toward a build-ready project.

Who is the Scout Report for?

+ −

It's designed for business owners, entrepreneurs, and property managers exploring a new commercial space or renovation. Whether you're opening your first location or expanding to a new market, the report helps you evaluate your options with confidence.

Do I need to have a location chosen before requesting a Scout Report?

+ −

You don't need to own or lease a property yet, but we do need an address to generate your report. Many clients use the Scout Report to compare multiple potential sites before signing a lease or moving forward with design.

What happens after I receive my Scout Report?

+ −

Once you've reviewed your report, the next step is the Concept & Feasibility phase. That's where we validate design options, refine budgets, and prepare a practical, buildable plan. There's no obligation to move forward, but the report provides a clear foundation if you choose to.

Can I use the Scout Report to start permitting or design work?

+ −

The Scout Report isn't a permit or construction document. It's an early-stage feasibility tool that identifies whether a site and concept are viable. If the results look promising, our team can take you from concept to fully permit-ready design and construction.

What types of spaces or businesses does BuildReady work with?

+ −

We specialize in small-format commercial spaces under 12,000 square feet, including restaurants, retail, hospitality, and offices. Our process adapts to each business type, balancing function, design, and profitability. If you are developing a unique or unconventional concept, we would love to explore it with you. BuildReady was created to bring creative ideas to life, even those that do not fit neatly into a category.

Is BuildReady available in my area?

+ −

Yes. BuildReady works with clients in cities across the United States. We handle concept, feasibility, design, and preconstruction directly, and when construction begins, we partner with vetted local contractors in markets where we're not the licensed general contractor.
