Retail, Restaurants
and Medical Suites
Beverly Hills commercial work is high-finish and closely reviewed: luxury retail and restaurants in the Business Triangle around Rodeo, Beverly and Canon Drives, and medical, dental, legal and entertainment offices in the buildings along Wilshire Boulevard and the side streets. A Beverly Hills tenant improvement usually means a designer's drawings, specified finishes, tight delivery windows on busy retail streets and a landlord who reviews the contractor's insurance and schedule before work starts.
Three facts decide a Beverly Hills build-out before any design. The occupancy: offices and clinics are business occupancies, shops are mercantile, and a restaurant or venue for 50 or more people is an assembly space with stricter exit, restroom and sprinkler rules. The condition of what is already there, from the restroom and the storefront to the electrical service and the HVAC. And the lease, which says what the landlord delivers and what the tenant builds. We read all three at the free site walk and write the scope around them.
Every commercial job in Beverly Hills runs on one model: a fixed written proposal after the site walk and the drawings, one project manager who owns the schedule, every trade under our contract and a schedule tied to your opening date. Our office is in Valley Glen, about 25–35 minutes from Beverly Hills. The permit is closed with the final inspection before we hand over the keys.
Six Commercial Scopes,
One Contract
Tenant Improvement (TI)
White box or second-generation space to a move-in-ready suite: partitions, ceilings, HVAC distribution, electrical, Title 24 lighting, restrooms, finishes and a closed permit at turnover.
Restaurant Build-Out
Kitchen layout, Type 1 hood and grease duct, make-up air, fire suppression, grease interceptor, walk-ins, bar and dining room, coordinated through the health-department sign-off.
Office Renovation & Fit-Out
Re-planned floors, private offices and conference rooms, acoustic walls, data and AV rough-in, dedicated circuits, lighting controls and reception millwork.
Retail & Storefront Build-Out
Storefront framing and glazing, display blocking, accent lighting, fitting rooms, point-of-sale rough-in and accessible counters, to your brand standards.
Medical & Dental Suites
Exam rooms and operatories with their plumbing and vacuum, sterilization rooms, shielding where equipment needs it, cleanable finishes and HVAC zoning.
Building & Common Areas
Lobbies, corridors, restrooms, facades and accessibility upgrades in occupied buildings, phased around tenants and their hours.
Transparent from the first visit to the closed permit.
Professional, licensed and insured, and we put that in writing at every step, because a remodel is a trust decision before it is a construction decision.
California general contractor license CSLB #1021284 (General Building B), active since 2016, with general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Check the license yourself at cslb.ca.gov before you sign anything, with us or anyone else.
The proposal lists what is demolished, what is built, which finishes are included and which permit covers it. If it is not written down, it is not in the job.
When walls, floors or roofs open up we photograph what is behind them and send you the pictures. Anything beyond the scope is priced in writing before the crew continues. You never find out from the invoice.
California law caps a home-improvement deposit at $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract, whichever is less. We follow it. Progress payments follow the work, and the final payment comes after your walkthrough.
We submit the plans, meet the inspector and close the permit. You get the closed-permit record, which is what a buyer, an insurer or an appraiser will ask for.
The people who estimate the job are the people who build it. No subcontractor hand-offs, no call center; your project lead answers the phone during the job and after it.
One Fixed Proposal,
Written Before We Build
Right Image Builders prices commercial work in Beverly Hills the same way every time: a free site walk, a measured scope, the City of Beverly Hills Building and Safety Division and fire requirements checked for your address and use, and an itemized fixed proposal in writing, with a schedule tied to your opening date.
Hidden conditions are priced in writing when they are found, not on the final invoice, and landlord-funded and tenant-funded items are split line by line so the allowance is easy to administer.
For how fixed proposals compare with cost-plus contracts, see the fixed-price vs. cost-plus guide.
Permits and Approvals
in Beverly Hills
Beverly Hills is its own city, so a commercial tenant improvement here is filed with the City of Beverly Hills Building & Safety Division, not LADBS, under the city's own submittal list, zoning code and inspection schedule.
The city's Architectural Commission decides the look of development in every commercial area, including commercial facade remodels and most commercial signs; simpler sign changes can go to a director-level review. Permits are filed with the City of Beverly Hills Building & Safety Division at City Hall, 455 N. Rexford Drive, fire review is by the Beverly Hills Fire Department, and electric service is Southern California Edison.
A restaurant, cafe or bar in Beverly Hills also needs a plan check at the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, Environmental Health, before construction starts: the kitchen layout, finishes, hand and prep sinks, the grease interceptor and the Type 1 hood with its fire-suppression system are reviewed, and the health permit to operate follows the final inspection. We sequence that review with the building and fire approvals so the opening date holds.
Any permitted alteration also brings California's accessibility rules for the path of travel to the altered area: below the state's annually adjusted valuation threshold, the required upgrades to the entrance, restrooms, drinking fountains and signage are capped at 20 percent of the construction cost, and above it full compliance is required unless the building official grants a hardship. Title 24 adds the energy rules for lighting, controls and HVAC, with acceptance tests documented before final.
Three Steps.
Zero Surprises.
Site Walk & Scope
We walk the space with you, assess existing conditions, review the lease exhibit for landlord work vs. tenant work, identify permit triggers, and give you an honest scope and budget range before any design work begins.
Design, Permit & Fixed Price
We coordinate construction documents, submit for commercial permit, manage plan check, and deliver a fixed-price contract with a schedule tied to your opening date — before a single wall comes down.
Build & Open On Time
One project manager runs the job. All trades are coordinated under our contract. We hand you a move-in-ready space with a closed permit and all final inspections signed off — on your schedule.

Right Image Builders, a licensed Class B general contractor (CSLB #1021284) based in Valley Glen, about 25–35 minutes away, builds office, retail, restaurant and medical tenant improvements in Beverly Hills, from the site walk and permit drawings through plan check, construction and the final inspection, on one fixed-price contract with one project manager. Free site walk: (818) 210-4544.
Almost always. New walls, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, ceilings with new lighting, storefronts and signs need a permit from the City of Beverly Hills Building & Safety Division; paint, carpet and furniture alone do not. The set includes floor plans, the accessibility path-of-travel plan, Title 24 energy forms and mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings, and we answer the plan-check corrections and book every inspection.
Most do. The Architectural Commission reviews commercial facade remodels and most commercial signs, while simpler sign changes can be approved at the director level. Interior tenant improvements go to Building & Safety at City Hall without that step, so we separate the exterior scope early to keep it from holding up the interior permit.
Three approvals, in the right order: the Los Angeles County Environmental Health plan check of the kitchen, sinks, finishes and hood; the building permit from the City of Beverly Hills Building & Safety Division; and fire review of the hood suppression, sprinklers and alarms by the Beverly Hills Fire Department. The grease interceptor is sized and approved under the city sewer rules as part of the same package.
Plan check typically takes 4–8 weeks for an office or retail set, longer when planning or design review applies. Construction then takes about 8–14 weeks for a typical 2,000–5,000 sq ft office or retail space and 12–20 weeks for a restaurant, depending on the kitchen and the health-department inspections. The schedule in our proposal is tied to your opening date in Beverly Hills.
Usually some. Any permitted alteration in Beverly Hills triggers California's path-of-travel rule for the route to the altered area: the entrance, restrooms, drinking fountains and signage. Below the state's annually adjusted valuation threshold, those upgrades are capped at 20 percent of the construction cost; above it, full compliance is required unless the building official grants a hardship.
Not without your written approval. The fixed proposal covers the agreed scope, the City of Beverly Hills Building and Safety Division permit and the inspections; if the space in Beverly Hills hides a problem, you get a written, priced change order before the crew touches it. The fixed-price vs. cost-plus guide explains why that matters on a lease deadline.
