Commercial HVAC tenant improvement contractor in Charlotte
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
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.
