Experienced commercial leadership

Design-build coordination

Clear project communication

Plan your space with the construction in mind

A commercial build-out brings your lease, budget, equipment and opening plans together. Early decisions matter. Our team helps define the work, coordinate the people involved and keep you informed as your project moves forward.

Commercial Design-Build

Bring layout, budget and construction planning together early. We coordinate the design and drawing package, with cost and buildability considered as the design develops.

Tenant Improvements

Turn a leased or existing commercial space into a place that works for your business. We coordinate the build-out around your scope, site conditions and landlord requirements. Planning a new building? We also provide ground-up commercial construction, from design and drawings through construction and handover.

Experienced leadership. A considered approach.

Our founder brings experience from 25+ commercial construction and tenant improvement projects through previous work, including previous work in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan. That background includes healthcare spaces, daycares, restaurants, offices, retail and a pharmacy distribution centre of approximately 9,000–10,000 sq ft with clean-room construction.

Mettle brings that experience to a company focused on careful planning, clear communication and construction quality.

1. Discuss your project

Share your project details, then book an on-site consultation if you have a location ready to visit. Still looking for a space? Our team will contact you to discuss the next step.

2. Define the work

We review the space and any drawings. If a design and drawing package is needed, we scope and price it for your approval. Detailed construction pricing follows once the drawings and scope are sufficiently defined.

3. Build with a coordinated team

Once the construction scope is agreed and required approvals are in place, we coordinate trades, communicate progress and work through the final walkthrough and handover with you.

Questions before you get started

Small office with desks, built-in shelving and large windows

Do I need drawings before contacting Mettle?

No. We can discuss your project before drawings are prepared. If a design and drawing package is needed, we scope and price that work separately before you commit to it. Detailed construction pricing follows once the project is sufficiently defined.

Can you help before I secure a location?

Yes. Start with a consultation. If you are considering a unit, we can discuss a site review and the construction questions to address before moving forward.

What determines the cost of a commercial build-out?

The space’s condition, size, layout, equipment, building services and finish requirements all affect cost. We review these with you and explain what is needed to develop a detailed construction proposal.
