LOCAL MARKET

Tenant improvement HVAC across the Charlotte region

Charlotte’s office market is anchored by financial services, with large office floors that need careful zoning between perimeter and interior areas.

South End’s restaurants and retail in new mixed-use buildings bring kitchen exhaust and makeup air into play, often with limited roof space.

Summers are hot and humid, so moisture control matters alongside cooling.

WHAT WE BUILD OUT

Build-out work we take on in Charlotte

The tenant improvement work we most often carry across the Charlotte region.

Office and corporate suites

Zoning a floor plan so perimeter offices, interior open areas and conference rooms each get the air they need, with VAV boxes, diffuser layout and controls tied to the building system.

Restaurants and food service

Kitchen hood exhaust, makeup air matched to it, dining-room cooling sized for the heat the cook line throws, and restroom and dish exhaust that keeps odors where they belong.

Retail and in-line space

A dedicated rooftop or split system for the suite, ductwork laid out to the store plan, and outside air and exhaust set for the occupant load the space is permitted for.

Medical and dental clinics

Higher air change rates and pressure relationships in procedure and sterilization rooms, dedicated exhaust where the occupancy requires it, and filtration a step above office standard.

Fitness, studio and salon

Cooling sized for people exercising rather than sitting, high outside-air ventilation, locker and shower exhaust, and dedicated exhaust for salon chemical use.

Industrial, flex and warehouse office

Conditioned office cores inside warehouse shells, make-up air and exhaust for process areas, destratification and unit heaters, and spot cooling where people work.
