GCMM Home Improvement LLC — Commercial Division
Office Build-Out Contractor for Westchester & NYC
Whether you are leasing raw commercial space that needs a complete build-out or renovating an existing office to better fit your operations, GCMM delivers office construction that is on time, on budget, and ready for move-in. We work with businesses of every size — from a solo practitioner setting up a 500 sq ft office to a corporate tenant building out an entire floor — and bring the same attention to detail and project management to every job.
Office build-outs and tenant improvements have unique considerations. You may be working within a landlord’s work letter that specifies building-standard finishes. You may need to coordinate with the building’s base systems (HVAC, electrical, fire protection) to extend services into your space. You likely have a lease start date that makes your construction timeline non-negotiable. GCMM understands these dynamics and manages office build-outs with the precision they require.
We have built offices for law firms, financial services companies, technology startups, medical practices, real estate agencies, and nonprofits across Westchester, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Northern New Jersey. From open floor plans to private offices, glass-front conference rooms to server closets, we build the workspace that supports your team and impresses your clients.

Understanding Work Letters & Lease Negotiations
When you sign a commercial lease, your landlord typically provides a work letter outlining what they will build (the “base building” or “landlord’s work”) and what is your responsibility (the “tenant improvement” or “TI”). Understanding this document is critical to budgeting your build-out accurately. GCMM can review your work letter before you sign your lease, identify what the landlord is covering versus your cost, and provide an accurate build-out estimate so you know your total occupancy cost before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an office build-out cost?
Office build-out costs range from $80-$200 per square foot in the NYC metro area. Basic build-outs with standard finishes run $80-$120/sf. Mid-range offices with custom finishes, glass conference rooms, and specialty areas run $120-$160/sf. Premium build-outs with high-end finishes and complex infrastructure run $160-$200+/sf. Manhattan tends toward the higher end.
How long does an office build-out take?
Timeline depends on size and complexity. A 1,000-2,000 sq ft office takes 4-6 weeks. A 3,000-5,000 sq ft office takes 6-10 weeks. Larger build-outs (10,000+ sq ft) take 10-16 weeks. Permit processing adds 2-6 weeks. GCMM works backward from your move-in date to ensure on-time delivery.
What is a tenant improvement allowance?
A tenant improvement (TI) allowance is money your landlord contributes toward building out your space, typically expressed as dollars per square foot (e.g., $40/sf TI). The allowance is negotiated as part of your lease. Any build-out costs above the TI allowance are your responsibility. GCMM can help you maximize your TI allowance by identifying which improvements the landlord should cover.
Do you handle commercial office permits?
Yes. We manage all permit applications for office build-outs including NYC DOB commercial alteration permits, Westchester building permits, and NJ UCC permits. We coordinate architectural drawings, submit applications, and schedule all required inspections.
Can you build out an office while other tenants are working?
Yes. In multi-tenant buildings, we work with building management to minimize disruption. We coordinate freight elevator access, manage noise during business hours, and use dust barriers to protect common areas. After-hours work is available for noise-sensitive construction.
