Retail & Tenant Improvement Estimating Florida
Retail Buildouts Move Fast. Your Estimate Needs to Keep Up.
A retail tenant improvement project in Florida has a fixed delivery date from the moment the lease is signed. The landlord’s delivery deadline doesn’t move for a bid that came in 15% high. The opening day doesn’t move for a material budget that missed the MEP coordination. And the GC who comes in with a sharp, accurate TI estimate wins the job every time.
AH Estimating provides retail construction and tenant improvement estimating services for general contractors, retail developers, and fit-out specialists across Florida. Inline retail stores in South Florida’s active shopping center market, restaurant buildouts in the I-4 corridor, flagship store construction in Palm Beach and the Tampa Bay area, and the ongoing wave of fast-casual and quick-service restaurant development across Central Florida we estimate every retail scope with the line-item precision that national retail chains and local landlords require.

Retail & Tenant Improvement Estimating — FAQs
Our retail TI estimates include a complete scope breakdown against the landlord work letter — demising wall construction, storefront, MEP (HVAC, electrical, plumbing), flooring, ceiling system, lighting, millwork and casework, and specialties. Landlord-provided work is excluded and clearly noted so scope boundaries are unambiguous.
Yes. We estimate base building shell construction (structure, envelope, MEP main distribution) and tenant improvement fit-out as separate scopes — giving landlords and developers a clear picture of total development cost and per-tenant TI allowance requirements.
Yes. Restaurant and food service buildout is a specific estimating service we provide. We estimate commercial kitchen equipment rough-in, grease waste and ventilation systems, walk-in cooler coordination, and Florida Health Code compliance items as standard line items in every food service TI estimate.
For retail projects in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, we apply Florida Product Approval (NOA) requirements for impact-rated storefronts and glazing systems pricing these as code-compliant base specifications rather than as add-alternates, since impact glazing is not optional in HVHZ.
