How do I budget a tenant improvement in Philadelphia?
Prepare a measured scope, existing-condition information and a schedule. Ask each bidder to separate demolition, partitions, mechanical and electrical work, finishes, allowances and exclusions. A project-specific estimate is more useful than a generic cost-per-square-foot claim.
Where should I check permit requirements in Philadelphia?
Start with the City of Philadelphia L&I website linked below. Confirm the proposed use and scope with the authority and your design team; application requirements and review times depend on the project.
What should I send with my Philadelphia project enquiry?
Include the site address, business type, floor area, drawings or photos, landlord requirements, occupancy constraints, target schedule and the work you need priced. Identify any unresolved design decisions.
