Tenant Improvement (TI) Electrical Work
A new tenant moving into a commercial space almost always means the electrical needs change: different equipment, different layout, sometimes a completely different use for the unit. EZ Smart Electric handles tenant improvement electrical work across the GTA, from a simple outlet reconfiguration to a full build-out.
What TI Electrical Work Covers
- New circuits and outlets laid out for the incoming tenant’s equipment and workstations.
- Lighting changes to match the new layout or brand standard.
- Panel capacity review to confirm the space can support the new load.
- Coordination with landlord base building requirements and the general contractor’s TI schedule.
Working Within the TI Timeline
Tenant improvement projects run on tight, fixed timelines tied to lease commencement dates. We work directly with your general contractor or project manager to keep the electrical scope on schedule, not the item that holds up occupancy.
Why Commercial Clients Choose EZ Smart
We are a licensed, ESA-registered electrical contractor with a Master Electrician on staff, carrying commercial liability insurance. Our electricians are certified through Skilled Trades Ontario, and permits are filed with the Electrical Safety Authority before work starts.
Our Process
We review the TI drawings and scope, confirm panel capacity for the new layout, and coordinate rough-in and final connections with the rest of the build-out trades on the project schedule.
Handling Multiple TI Phases
Larger tenant improvement projects sometimes roll out in phases across a floor or building, with different suites completing on different dates. We track each phase separately so billing, permits, and inspections stay clean per suite, rather than one tangled project record covering unrelated tenants.
Reading Between the Lines of a TI Allowance
Landlord TI allowances often cover base building electrical but exclude anything specific to your equipment or layout, and that gap is easy to miss until the invoice arrives. We can review your lease’s TI allowance language with you at a high level and flag what is likely covered versus what will land on your side of the ledger, so there are no surprises partway through the build-out. We are also comfortable working directly with your landlord’s base building contractor where the scope touches shared infrastructure, so the handoff between what they own and what falls to your TI budget stays clean.
Getting Started
Send us your TI drawings or describe the scope. We will give you a fixed quote and a timeline that fits your lease commencement date. If the drawings change mid-project, which happens often on TI work, we price the change order clearly before proceeding rather than letting scope creep quietly inflate the final invoice.
What to Send Us to Get Started Fast
The quickest way to a firm quote is sending your TI drawings, or if drawings are not final yet, a description of headcount, equipment, and layout intent. Either way, we can usually turn around a preliminary number within a few business days of receiving the scope.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you work from architectural or TI drawings?
Yes, send us the drawings and we will quote based on the actual scope shown.
Do you coordinate with general contractors?
Yes, we work directly with GCs and project managers to fit into the build-out schedule.
How fast can TI electrical work be completed?
It depends on scope, but we plan around your lease commencement date and communicate any risk to that timeline early.
Do you handle panel upgrades as part of a TI project?
Yes, if the new layout needs more capacity than the existing panel has, we quote that as part of the same project.
Will you give me a price before starting?
Yes, a fixed quote based on the drawings or scope before any work begins.
