Arkadian Homes Service

Commercial Construction in Calgary

Office, Retail, Restaurant, and Mixed-Use

The same project discipline we bring to custom homes — applied to office, retail, restaurant, and mixed-use commercial spaces. Single-point-of-contact management, disciplined trade coordination, and an after-care relationship that runs past handover.

Commercial Spaces Built With Residential Care

Arkadian Homes’ commercial work is built on the same single-point-of-contact discipline, weekly progress reporting, and after-care relationship that defines our residential builds. Whether your project is a 2,000 square foot retail buildout, a restaurant tenant improvement, a professional office space, or a mixed-use development, the project structure is the same: senior-led from kick-off through closeout.

That structure shows in how Arkadian Homes commercial projects close out. Our clients hear back from us when they call after handover. Punch lists get fully closed. The schedule you receive in the contract is the schedule we run to — backed by disciplined trade coordination, weekly progress reports with photos, and a single project lead from groundbreaking through warranty period.

What Our Commercial Service Covers

Site Evaluation

Existing-conditions assessment, mechanical and electrical capacity review, accessibility audit, lease-document review. Done before we quote, so the quote is based on reality.

Tenant Improvement Design

Space planning and design tuned to your specific business — flow, function, brand, regulatory requirements. Coordinated with architects, designers, or our internal team.

Permitting & Approvals

City of Calgary development and building permits, accessibility compliance, fire and life safety review, health permits where required. Managed end-to-end.

Construction Management

Single project lead through the build. Weekly progress updates. Disciplined trade coordination. Budget tracked against the contract envelope.

Trade Coordination

Electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, IT/AV, finishes — all sequenced and coordinated. No gaps between trades that turn into change orders later.

Closeout & Warranty

Final inspections, deficiency list closure, operating manuals, system orientation. Warranty period treated as part of the project, not a courtesy.

Commercial Builds We Take On

  • Retail and showroom construction
  • Restaurant and hospitality builds
  • Mixed-use residential-commercial developments
  • Tenant improvements for leased commercial space

Commercial Construction FAQ

What size commercial projects do you take?
We take projects ranging from tenant improvements (1,000 to 3,000 sqft) through mid-size commercial builds and mixed-use developments. We’ve completed retail buildouts, professional office spaces, restaurants, and mixed-use projects across Calgary. Whether your project is a focused tenant improvement or a ground-up commercial build, we bring the same senior-led project management, white-glove client service, and disciplined trade coordination to every engagement.
Do you do new construction or just tenant improvements?
Both. Tenant improvements in leased commercial spaces are a meaningful portion of our work — restaurants, retail, office. We also build new ground-up commercial and mixed-use developments. The project structure is similar in both cases, but TI work has tighter coordination with landlords and existing building systems, which we manage as part of the engagement.
How is commercial pricing different from residential?
Commercial projects are typically priced as a fixed-fee construction contract once the design is locked in, with a transparent breakdown of trades, materials, and Arkadian Homes’ project management fee. During the design and pre-construction phase, we work on a time-and-materials or fixed-fee design basis depending on the project. The discovery call is where we walk through the structure that fits your specific build.
How long does a typical commercial build take?
Tenant improvements in the 2,000 to 5,000 sqft range typically run three to six months from permit to opening. Larger TI projects or new commercial construction runs six to twelve months. Mixed-use developments are longer and vary significantly with scale. The schedule we hand you in the contract is the one we run to — we’d rather quote longer than disappoint.
Can you work with my existing architect or landlord?
Yes. We integrate with outside architects, interior designers, brokers, and landlord representatives regularly. Most commercial projects involve coordination with multiple stakeholders, and we own that coordination as part of project management. The earlier we’re brought into the conversation, the smoother the integration.
Do you handle health code and accessibility compliance?
Yes. Both are designed in from day one, not bolted on at permit time. For restaurants and food-service projects, that includes health inspections, ventilation requirements, and food-safety code. For all commercial work, accessibility (barrier-free design) compliance is integrated into the design and verified during construction. We manage all inspections as part of the project.
What’s the warranty on commercial work?
Standard one-year warranty on construction defects, with longer warranties on major systems (HVAC, roofing, structural) per manufacturer and Alberta Building Code requirements. After warranty, we maintain the same responsiveness our residential clients get — if something needs adjustment, you call us, we answer. The relationship doesn’t end at handover.
Can you handle restaurant kitchens and ventilation?
Yes. Restaurant builds are one of the more demanding commercial project types — kitchen ventilation, grease management, fire suppression, food-safety code, and health-permit timing all need to align. We coordinate the specialist trades (kitchen equipment, mechanical, fire protection) and manage the health-permit process. We’ve done multiple restaurant TI and ground-up projects.
