Commercial construction runs on a different clock than residential: every week a space isn't open costs the business money. Tenant improvements, build-outs, and renovations demand a contractor who hits the schedule, navigates Florida commercial code and ADA, and keeps the project moving.
LRG Contractors Group delivers commercial tenant improvements and build-outs across Tampa Bay — offices, retail, restaurants, and medical and professional spaces. We manage commercial permitting, ADA compliance, fire and life-safety, and the trades to get you open on time.
Whether it's a Tampa office build-out, a retail space in downtown St. Petersburg, or a restaurant tenant improvement in Clearwater, we scope it to your lease timeline and your budget.

Financing options →Timeline
Commercial build-outs vary widely — from several weeks for a simple office to several months for a restaurant — driven by permitting and MEP. We commit to a real schedule up front.
Permits & code
Commercial work requires permits with ADA, fire, and life-safety review under the Florida Building Code, and often a certificate of occupancy. We manage commercial permitting and inspections end to end.
Key things to consider
- Lease timeline drives everything — we plan to your open date.
- ADA compliance is mandatory and frequently underestimated.
- Existing MEP conditions are the biggest cost unknown — we assess early.
- Phasing can keep parts of a business operating during the build.
