Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about commercial interior design services in California
What types of commercial spaces do you design in California?
We design all types of commercial spaces including restaurants, bars, medical offices, dental clinics, boba tea shops, coffee cafes, retail stores, clothing boutiques, wholesale showrooms, offices, warehouses, hotels, salons, and spas. With 10+ years of experience, we’ve successfully designed virtually every type of commercial space. We specialize in medical offices and boba tea cafes but bring expert-level service to all projects.
Do you handle commercial permits in California?
Yes, we handle all commercial permits including zoning approvals, building permits, health department permits (critical for food service), fire department approvals, and ADA compliance certification. Commercial permitting often requires coordinating multiple departments simultaneously—our 10+ years of experience means we know exactly what each department requires and how to navigate the process efficiently.
What’s included in your commercial design services?
Our services include draft design (initial concepts and space planning), site plans, detailed construction documents, permit processing, plan corrections if needed, and 3D virtual tours. You can hire us for the complete package or individual services based on your needs. We also provide connections to our trusted contractor network for construction.
Do you build commercial spaces or only design?
We focus on design, plans, and permits—we don’t build. However, we have a network of first-class contractors we trust and recommend. This separation ensures our designs are optimized for your business success, not construction profit margins. You receive unbiased, professional plans that any qualified contractor can build from.
Can you fix plans that didn’t pass permit review?
Absolutely. Plan corrections and re-designs are one of our core services. If your plans were rejected or received correction notices, we analyze what went wrong, redesign to meet code requirements, and resubmit for approval. Our experience means we know exactly what reviewers are looking for and can usually resolve issues quickly.
How long does commercial design and permitting take?
Timeline varies based on project size and complexity. Simple tenant improvements might take 4-8 weeks from design to permit approval. New construction or complex projects (like restaurants with full kitchens) can take 3-6 months. During your free consultation, we’ll provide a realistic timeline based on your specific project and location.
What areas of California do you serve?
We serve all of California. We frequently work in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino, Ventura, and the Bay Area. Whether your commercial project is in a major city or smaller community, we have the experience to navigate local regulations and get your permits approved.
How much does commercial design cost?
Every commercial project is unique, so we provide custom quotes based on your specific needs—space size, complexity, services required, and location. We offer free consultations where we assess your project and provide a detailed proposal. Our focus on design (not construction) means you get professional plans without markups for building work.
