Tenant Improvements

Transforming Existing Spaces into Purposeful Environments
At Potentia Architecture, we specialize in breathing new life into existing spaces. Whether it’s a healthcare clinic, office, retail suite, or community facility, our tenant improvement (TI) projects are guided by one principle — maximizing value through intelligent design and precise execution.

We understand that every tenant improvement is more than a renovation — it’s an opportunity to enhance workflow, improve user experience, and align space with brand identity and operational goals. Our integrated design and project management approach ensures your space transformation is smooth, compliant, and cost-efficient, from concept to occupancy.

Our Tenant Improvement Services

Site Assessment & Feasibility Studies
We begin with a comprehensive evaluation of existing conditions, mechanical and electrical infrastructure, accessibility, and code compliance. Our feasibility reports identify opportunities and constraints early, helping clients make informed decisions before committing to lease or construction.

Space Planning & Programming
Using AI-assisted modeling and layout analysis, we develop efficient, functional space plans that reflect how people actually use their environment. We collaborate closely with stakeholders to optimize adjacencies, workflow, and circulation.
Interior Design & Material Selection
From finishes to fixtures, we design interiors that balance aesthetics, durability, and maintenance needs. Our team selects materials that are sustainable, high-performing, and appropriate to the use and budget of the space.
Building Code & Permitting
Our experience with municipal requirements across BC and Alberta ensures that building permits, health authority reviews, and fire department clearances proceed efficiently. We anticipate compliance challenges before submission to minimize delays.
Coordination & Construction Administration
We stay engaged throughout construction — reviewing shop drawings, responding to RFIs, and coordinating with contractors to maintain design integrity and cost control. We aim to minimize disruption to operations through phased scheduling and clear communication.
Occupancy & Closeout Support
We provide post-construction reviews, final deficiency walkthroughs, and assistance with occupancy documentation to ensure a smooth transition from construction to operation.

Our Approach

Tenant improvements demand agility and precision. Our integrated design–management model allows us to adapt quickly to existing conditions, accelerate approvals, and maintain budget control. By combining design insight with technical expertise, we deliver environments that are both functional and inspiring.
Designed for Efficiency. Built for People.
