Commercial contractor in Richardson, TX
Richardson’s offices, shops and restaurants along US 75 and the Bush Turnpike keep changing hands, and every new tenant needs the space rebuilt for them.

Richardson’s commercial mix
Richardson straddles the Dallas and Collin county line and is known for the Telecom Corridor, CityLine and the University of Texas at Dallas. Its commercial buildings run from older strip centers along Belt Line Road and Central Expressway to newer offices and restaurants around CityLine. Office finish-outs and restaurant spaces are a big share of the work, along with remodels of buildings that went up decades ago.
Richardson’s permit types
Richardson’s Building Inspection department lists separate commercial permits for new construction, interior finish, interior remodel and certificates of occupancy, and runs an express permitting program for some commercial work (City of Richardson commercial permit types). The city has adopted the 2021 International Codes and the 2020 National Electrical Code.
An interior finish permit there asks for the commercial permit application and two sets of construction documents, including the structural drawings, and the approved permit has to be posted at the property before work begins.
What owners ask us for here
Most Richardson owners want one of three things: an office suite rebuilt for a new tenant, a restaurant space reworked for a new concept, or an older retail building updated so it competes with the new ones nearby. Each starts with a walk of the space and the drawings for the permit type it falls under.
