Enjoy a complete service experience
Tackling a commercial build or tenant improvement (TI) renovation is complicated enough. That’s why we’ve created a service model that covers all of your needs, no matter where you are in the process.
As a Design-Build firm, we provide you with the full spectrum of services needed for a seamless transition through project phases. You get the simplicity of working with a single team that manages it all, from pre-construction, due diligence, and design, to permitting, documentation, and construction.
By focusing on your unique needs, we make our collaboration a true partnership, one that yields results tailored to your business goals and branding vision.
Our Clear™ 4-Step Process
When you’re thinking of building new or renovating your existing commercial space, you want the guidance of a professional team that can help your organization navigate all of the ins and outs. At LETTER FOUR, we’ll guide you through every stage of your project, following our Clear™ 4-Step Process.
This approach starts with due diligence, gathering all of the information needed to advance your project toward concrete plans. These are laid in the Technical Documentation step, establishing the final design and preparing it for building. Final Touches are made to address permitting, interior, and landscaping needs. Once this is finished, we’re ready to take you into the Construction phase, where your brand’s new look is brought to life.
Get the licensed architectural design services required to develop a build-ready design. Before putting pen to paper, our professionals go the extra mile to understand your needs, motivations, and practical goals. We then leverage these insights to craft a design that goes beyond the surface, one that addresses function and experience as much as form. Our team collaborates closely with your stakeholders, accounting for the goals of your entire organization and the preferences of its customers.
You’ll receive all of the documentation and coordination needed to prepare your project for the construction phase. In addition to due diligence, design, consultant coordination, and permitting, we’ll also work closely with the contractor to see that your design is built with complete success.
Need licensed general contracting services to build per your architect’s plans? Our skilled construction team is here to help you prepare for construction and get the work done with outstanding quality. As contractors who understand the business value of design, we’ll work with you and your architect to ensure that construction stays true to your brand vision, down to the smallest details.
This includes pre-construction pricing to confirm that your design can be built to your standards and expectations. Our experts can prepare detailed, itemized bids, giving you the power to compare costs and make adjustments as necessary. We’re also able to assist with value-engineering, ensuring your company makes the most of its project budget.
When you want one team to handle your project in its entirety, Design-Build is the solution you need. As Design-Build specialists, we offer the seamless integration of licensed architectural design and general contracting services, giving you the advantage of a simplified process and enhanced collaboration.
Our team has mastered the process of in-house cooperation, ensuring that clear communication is maintained and all project goals are aligned with one another. We help you develop a design that is tailored to your construction budget, and coordinate to guarantee that your build reflects your design exactly. Our Design-Build services allow you to get better results in a reduced time frame, with clear communication and a high level of service.
Get the full assistance you need in managing your project. Our owner’s agent and project management consulting services help you ensure that every stage of your project is managed by a professional, dependable expert capable of keeping everything on track.
We understand that entering the architectural design and construction process can be a major endeavor for any business. Our goal is to alleviate your team’s responsibilities, advocate for your interests, and provide you with one go-to authority who can keep you informed of your project status at all times.
Are you unsure of what type of build or renovation your property can support? Do you need to explore the potential costs of a project you have in mind? Is expert input needed before your organization rents or purchases a particular piece of real estate? Also known as our Action Plans, our feasibility studies can provide the answers you need.
We help you gather information and determine possibilities by performing a thorough analysis of the property in question. You’ll be able to learn what options are available to you, as well as estimated costs. While this Due Diligence is an essential building block of all standard projects we work on, you may also combine it with other standalone services such as Conceptual Design to form a complete review of your project’s feasibility.
Need help fleshing out your vision for your brand? Our team can help you fully develop your design concept to communicate your brand’s values, improve customer experience, and strengthen your position in the local market. You’ll get a clear picture of what to aim for, providing the perfect springboard for final architectural design work.
Going through intensive concept exploration and planning allows you to correctly pinpoint the right architectural style and identify what your facility’s design should accomplish. By implementing our extensive experience creating spaces for a diverse clientele, we’ll help you visualize a space that is wholly consistent with your brand’s aesthetics, service philosophy, and operational flow.
Everything you need to plan and outfit your interior is provided by our team. We handle all of the initial budgeting, selection, approvals, purchasing, stocking, and detailing of all finishes and fixtures.
You’ll work closely with our design team and our in-house Interior Designer will walk you through the process of selection, addressing choices such as tile, countertops, flooring, furniture, lighting, wall treatments, and decor. Prior to this, you’ll be guided through design inspiration sessions that explore your brand’s style and qualities. Through this collaborative process, you’ll be able to envision an interior that perfectly reflects your brand’s new direction.
