GDL Solutions delivers tenant build-outs, renovations and property improvements for retail, office, restaurant, industrial and multi-family owners across North Jersey — permits through certificate of occupancy, with night and weekend work when the space has to stay open.
White box to grand opening — storefronts, fitting rooms, POS infrastructure, lighting and finishes on a landlord-approved schedule.
The most permit-heavy build there is. Hoods, grease traps, health department review and gas work handled by licensed trades.
Demising walls, private offices, conference rooms, data cabling and HVAC zoning built around how the tenant actually works.
Unit turnovers, common area renovations, hallway and lobby refreshes, and capital improvement programs run building by building.
Our own asphalt and masonry crews handle the parking lot, sidewalks and facade so you are not chasing three vendors.
Annual programs for property managers: scheduled repairs, seasonal exterior work and one point of contact for emergencies.
We tour the space with you or the tenant, flag existing-condition problems, and tell you what the landlord's work letter really covers.
A line-item bid tied to the drawings, with alternates so you can compare apples to apples against other GCs.
Building, electric, plumbing, fire and health submittals, plus landlord approvals — tracked on a shared schedule.
Partitions, MEP rough-ins and structural work sequenced around building hours and neighboring tenants.
Ceilings, flooring, millwork, paint and fixtures, then coordinated inspections so nothing stalls your opening date.
Certificate of occupancy, as-builts, warranties and a punch list closed before you take the keys.
“They finished our 4,200 sq ft retail build-out two weeks before the lease commencement date. Rare.”
“We manage nine buildings. GDL handles unit turns and the lots, and I get one invoice instead of six.”
“Restaurant build with a full hood and grease trap. They knew the health department process cold.”
Office and retail build-outs generally run $90 to $200 per square foot in North Jersey; restaurants run higher because of kitchen exhaust, gas, grease traps and fire suppression. We price from drawings, not per-foot rules of thumb.
Once permits are issued, most 2,000 to 5,000 sq ft build-outs run 8 to 16 weeks. Permitting itself is usually 4 to 10 weeks depending on the township and the use group.
Yes. For occupied buildings, malls and offices we schedule off-hours work so tenants and customers are never blocked.
We manage every inspection through final C.O., including fire, health and elevator sign-offs where they apply, and we hand over as-builts and warranties at closeout.
Regularly. We document scope against the landlord's work letter, submit requisitions in the format the landlord requires, and flag anything that falls outside the allowance before it becomes a change order.
