Typically, a landlord will either complete a defined scope of work as part of the lease agreement, or the landlord will provide an allowance for the tenant to use toward the cost of building modifications. This allowance is called the \u201ctenant improvement allowance\u201d or TI allowance. There are a number of pitfalls that a tenant should be careful to avoid when contemplating building modifications using a tenant improvement allowance, and it is important to have a qualified project manager on your side. A good project manager offers guidance with regards to due diligence for base building conditions, a preliminary project budget to ensure adequacy of the allowance, a review of the building standard to ensure that the allowance can be used for the intended improvements, and a review of the cash flow implications of the project funding and reimbursement protocol.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780423833141\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is not covered by my tenant improvement allowance?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Landlords typically address the TI allowance and their strict rules for its proper use in an addendum to the lease called a work letter. This section of the lease spells out the terms and conditions associated with the TI allowance, including how much is to be paid and by whom, what those funds can be applied towards, any conditional requirement for the release of those funds, and how and when the funds will be distributed. Unfortunately, most TI allowances only cover three categories of expense: (i) design, engineering and project management fees, (ii) permit fees, and (iii) actual construction costs. In addition to these costs, there is a myriad of additional items that are not always covered by the TI allowance, such as phone\/data cabling, security, phone systems, audio visual equipment and furniture, including workstations, moving costs and signage. It is important to have a qualified project manager assess your needs and review the work letter in order to avoid expensive mistakes and misunderstandings.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780423851959\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is meant by \u201cbuilding standard improvements\u201d?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As part of a lease, the landlord may be responsible for designing, constructing and funding \u201cbuilding standard improvements.\u201d These improvements are typically very elementary and include basic flooring, ceilings, lights, doors, etc. It does not always include a number of fundamental items such as a reception desk, break room cabinetry and sink, upgraded carpet or tile, glass sidelights or interior windows, extra power for specialized equipment, specialty lighting or 24-hour HVAC for a server room. It is important to have a qualified project manager assess your specific needs and make sure that standard improvements are clearly defined to meet your specific requirements and expectations. Failure to do this may result in disappointment in the quality of your improvements or additional costs.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780423870569\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is meant by \u201ccold shell?\u201d<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">When providing a TI allowance, the landlord will want to define the condition of the space prior to the start of any tenant improvements. The most basic level of finish is referred to as \u201ccold shell.\u201d This means you are getting four walls, a roof and a floor. Nothing else is provided in the space\u2014no restrooms, HVAC, electrical, stairs, mezzanines or elevators. The intent of a cold shell delivery is that the TI allowance will be used to pay for ALL improvements to the space. It is important to have a qualified project manager assist in determining your specific needs for the space and anticipated costs. Starting from a cold shell can add more than $15\/SF to $30\/SF to the cost of the tenant improvements above a warm shell or existing space to be remodeled.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780423892243\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is meant by \u201cwarm shell?\u201d<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The next level of improvements above a cold shell is a \u201cwarm shell.\u201d A \u201cwarm shell\u201d is similar to a cold shell but will typically include improvements to the common areas of the building such as restrooms, lobbies, corridors and elevators. It may also include utilities such as HVAC, electrical and plumbing stubbed into the space. It will not include any other improvements inside the space. These other improvements will be constructed as part of the new tenant improvements. Failure to identify key elements of the project that should be included in the base building condition could cause additional items to be charged against the TI allowance that had not been anticipated, reducing the balance available to complete the desired improvements.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780423910190\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What is meant by \u201cturnkey?\u201d<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">As part of the work letter, the landlord may specify that the improvements be completed on a \u201cturnkey\u201d basis. This means the landlord will work with you to identify a floor plan and description of the components of your new space and then design, permit and construct the space for you. This system works well for smaller spaces, but is not recommended for spaces over 10,000 SF or with estimated TI costs of more than $500,000. When agreeing to move forward with a turnkey project, it is important to make sure that you work with the landlord to clearly identify your specific needs and desires, including the look and finish of the space as well as any special electrical or HVAC requirements. Ideally, when using a turnkey methodology, the lease should include a final space plan with detailed notes approved by both landlord and tenant. Failure to do so could result in negative surprises and\/or space that does not meet your expectations.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780423927772\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>Why wouldn\u2019t I want the landlord to complete the improvements on a \u201cturnkey\u201d basis?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For projects larger than 10,000 SF or with estimated TI costs of more than $500,000, we do not recommend the turnkey delivery method. We feel it is best for you and a qualified project manager to manage the process and the budget. Remember, it is your money to be paid to the landlord over the duration of the lease. We act as your construction expert and provide better management of these funds, stretching your dollar and making it possible to get more bang for your buck. It also ensures that the landlord is not using your TI allowance to pay for building upgrades, equipment maintenance or repairs, or paying higher than competitive fees for design or construction.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780423948580\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What does furniture cost?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">In addition to the cost of design, permits and construction, most projects also have costs associated with furniture. The cost of furniture can range wildly from $0\/SF (by reusing all of the existing furniture) to above $70\/SF depending on the specific requirements of a particular client. For example, the cost to furnish a standard office can range between $400 to over $20,000 for a CEO\u2019s office, and the cost of a cubicle can range from $1,200 to over $10,000 for the latest models with attachments, fancy fabric, glass and paneling. It is best to work with your project manager and architect and establish a budget for each area. You can then work with your team to identify potential furniture vendors and determine which furniture fits within your budgets.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1780423968132\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><strong>What will it cost to move?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">There is no single answer to the question, \u201cWhat will it cost to move?\u201d The following guidelines will help you as you begin evaluating an upcoming relocation. Depending on the size and complexity of the project, a professional relocation manager may be appropriate. These consultants typically charge on an hourly basis, and the fee can range from $0.50\/SF to $1.00\/SF. You can also anticipate an additional $1.00\/SF to move standard furniture and personal content. This excludes costs of moving any existing systems furniture as well as additional smaller costs such as new business cards, signage, phone and copier relocation, etc. Our team at Hughes Marino helps you to assess your specific needs and make sure that you are positioned to relocate in the most efficient way possible.

This allowance is called the \u201ctenant improvement allowance\u201d or TI allowance. There are a number of pitfalls that a tenant should be careful to avoid when contemplating building modifications using a tenant improvement allowance, and it is important to have a qualified project manager on your side.

Typically, a landlord will either complete a defined scope of work as part of the lease agreement, or the landlord will provide an allowance for the tenant to use toward the cost of building modifications. This allowance is called the \u201ctenant improvement allowance\u201d or TI allowance. There are a number of pitfalls that a tenant should be careful to avoid when contemplating building modifications using a tenant improvement allowance, and it is important to have a qualified project manager on your side. A good project manager offers guidance with regards to due diligence for base building conditions, a preliminary project budget to ensure adequacy of the allowance, a review of the building standard to ensure that the allowance can be used for the intended improvements, and a review of the cash flow implications of the project funding and reimbursement protocol.","inLanguage":"en-US"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Question","@id":"https:\/\/hughesmarino.com\/san-diego\/services\/program-project-construction-management\/#faq-question-1780423833141","position":8,"url":"https:\/\/hughesmarino.com\/san-diego\/services\/program-project-construction-management\/#faq-question-1780423833141","name":"What is not covered by my tenant improvement allowance?","answerCount":1,"acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Landlords typically address the TI allowance and their strict rules for its proper use in an addendum to the lease called a work letter.

Unfortunately, most TI allowances only cover three categories of expense: (i) design, engineering and project management fees, (ii) permit fees, and (iii) actual construction costs. In addition to these costs, there is a myriad of additional items that are not always covered by the TI allowance, such as phone\/data cabling, security, phone systems, audio visual equipment and furniture, including workstations, moving costs and signage.

This system works well for smaller spaces, but is not recommended for spaces over 10,000 SF or with estimated TI costs of more than $500,000. When agreeing to move forward with a turnkey project, it is important to make sure that you work with the landlord to clearly identify your specific needs and desires, including the look and finish of the space as well as any special electrical or HVAC requirements.
