What Does a Retail Build-Out Contractor Do?

- Electrical and plumbing systems
- Flooring, finishes, and lighting
- Code compliance and permits
- Scheduling and subcontractor coordination
- Final inspections and occupancy prep
At Tejas Contractors, we handle the details — so you can focus on your business.
