Building Out Your Flex Space: Tips for First-Time Tenants
So you’ve signed a lease—congrats! Now what?
If you’re leasing flex space at 2837 Scruggs Rd (or anywhere for that matter), the next step is making the space truly yours. Whether you’re launching a boutique fitness studio, setting up a professional office, or opening a specialty shop, your buildout will shape how customers and clients experience your business.
Here’s what first-time tenants need to know about building out their space:
1. Start with a Clear Vision (But Be Flexible)
Flex space gives you, well… flexibility. But you still need a plan. Ask yourself:
What’s the primary use of this space?
Do you need a front reception area? A private office? Storage?
How much open space vs. divided space makes sense?
Sketch out your ideal layout, but be ready to adapt it as the process unfolds.
2. Understand What’s Already in Place
Before breaking out the sledgehammer or hiring a contractor, understand what infrastructure the space already has.
At 2837 Scruggs Rd, we can help you walk through:
Electrical panel capacity
HVAC systems
Ceiling heights
Plumbing access
Code compliance
Knowing this early will save time—and money.
3. Budget for More Than You Think
Buildouts almost always cost more than expected. Leave room in your budget for:
Permits and inspections
Electrical and plumbing updates
Flooring and paint
Signage and exterior branding
Furniture and fixtures
4. Work with a Pro
Unless you’re a licensed GC, bring in a professional. An experienced commercial contractor will:
Help you navigate local regulations
Coordinate permits
Keep things on schedule
Avoid costly mistakes
If you need contractor referrals, we’ve got trusted local contacts.
5. Plan for Growth
Think long-term. Can your space evolve as your business grows?
If you're starting small, consider:
Movable partitions
Convertible office/retail zones
Storage areas that can be reworked later
The right design today can save you from a relocation tomorrow.
