How much does a commercial renovation or tenant improvement cost in Victoria?

What drives the cost of a commercial renovation or tenant improvement in Greater Victoria, why per-square-foot averages mislead, and how design-build pricing gives you a real number before construction starts.

What is design-build, and how is it different from hiring a general contractor?

Design-build puts design and construction under one contract and one accountable team. Here is how it differs from the traditional architect-then-contractor route, when each makes sense, and why EDDA works this way in Greater Victoria.
