Commercial construction has a different set of performance requirements than multifamily residential. Finishes need to hold up to code review, design intent, ADA compliance, and daily traffic volumes that residential specs are not designed to withstand. The ADA dimensional requirements for toilet accessories, signage, and grab bars are stricter. The flooring wear ratings required for commercial corridors and lobbies exceed what is appropriate for residential units. Window treatments in commercial and hospitality spaces must meet NFPA 701 flame resistance requirements. Getting these details right requires a sub who reads the specification rather than substituting from a residential production baseline.

Innergy’s commercial scope is built around the project specification. We read the spec set before we bid. We confirm product submittals against the specification before procurement. We install to the drawing, not to a general production standard. When specifications change mid-project, we submit a change request through the proper process and adapt without stopping work or accumulating unreported T&M.

Project types we work on

Office buildouts and tenant improvements for Class A and Class B commercial office space, from shell-to-finish buildouts to reconfiguration of existing tenant spaces. We cover cabinetry and millwork in break rooms and conference areas, flooring across all interior zones, Division 10 accessories in restrooms and common areas, and window treatments throughout. Occupied building protocols are available for phased projects where installation must proceed around existing tenants.

Retail and hospitality projects with compressed schedules, high-traffic finish requirements, and design intent the owner is actively marketing. We install to the drawing and do not generate change order problems that delay opening dates.

Healthcare facilities requiring infection control protocols during installation, specific material performance requirements including sheet vinyl, solid surface, and antimicrobial accessories in clinical areas, and ADA compliance across every division of our scope. We confirm product compliance against the specification before procurement. No substitutions without architect approval and submittal documentation.

Education and institutional facilities including K-12, higher education, and government buildings requiring commercial-grade durability, code compliance, and where applicable, prevailing wage documentation. We handle the full Division 10 scope including ADA signage, toilet partitions, and accessories to the dimensional standards the specification requires.

What commercial finishes require that residential does not

Commercial flooring specifications require higher wear ratings than residential. LVP in commercial corridors, lobbies, and high-traffic zones requires a 28 mil wear layer minimum. Carpet in commercial spaces requires a commercial warranty, not a residential one. Ceramic and porcelain tile in commercial restrooms requires grout joint specifications and installation methods appropriate for the traffic and cleaning protocols the space will experience. We specify to the actual use case based on the project specification, not to a residential production default.

ADA compliance is not optional on commercial projects. Toilet accessory mounting heights, grab bar blocking and installation requirements, signage character height and Braille specifications, and hardware reach range requirements all have specific dimensional standards that must be met. We confirm blocking requirements with the GC before drywall closes, because retrofitting blocking after walls are closed costs more than getting it right the first time.

Commercial window treatments in office, hospitality, and healthcare applications must meet NFPA 701 or the applicable local fire code flame resistance standard. We confirm fabric certifications against the specification before procurement.

Toilet partitions in commercial restrooms require material and hardware specifications matched to the use intensity and humidity environment of the space. Powder-coated steel is appropriate for low-use applications. High-traffic and high-humidity commercial restrooms warrant solid plastic or phenolic. We specify to the application.

Our scope on commercial projects

We cover seven CSI divisions on commercial projects: finish carpentry and millwork (Division 6), mirrors and glass (Division 8), commercial-grade flooring (Division 9), ADA accessories, toilet partitions, signage, fire extinguisher cabinets, and Knox boxes (Division 10), NFPA 701-compliant window treatments (Division 11), solid surface and countertops for break rooms, reception, and wet areas (Division 12), and plumbing fixture supply (Division 22).

Individual divisions or full packages are available under a single Texas, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, or New Mexico subcontract depending on the project location.
