Retail Center Makeover
12,000 sqft retail space renovation with updated electrical, HVAC, and ADA features.
A state-of-the-art corporate office environment designed for productivity, collaboration, and technology — delivered on time and on budget for a fast-growing Katy, TX technology company.
Tell Projects TX was engaged to transform a bare shell commercial space in Katy, TX into a fully operational two-floor corporate headquarters for a rapidly growing technology company. The client required a workspace that balanced focused private work with dynamic team collaboration — all wrapped in a premium aesthetic that would reflect their brand to visiting clients.
Our team began with an intensive space programming phase, working alongside the client's leadership to understand headcount projections, workflow patterns, and technology dependencies. The result was a detailed space plan that allocated every square foot with purpose: 65 open workstations with ergonomic standing desks, 8 glass-fronted private offices, 4 conference rooms with integrated AV systems, a fully equipped break room and kitchen, and a dedicated server and IT room with raised access flooring.
The build-out was completed in exactly 10 weeks — three days ahead of schedule — with zero disruption to the client's ongoing operations. The team moved in over a single weekend, ready to work Monday morning.
From raw shell to move-in-ready — every detail of this Katy, TX office build-out was engineered for the modern workforce.
Every functional area of this Katy, TX office was designed and built to serve a specific purpose within the client's workflow.
Every large-scale office build-out presents unique engineering and logistical challenges. Here is how Tell Projects TX solved them.
The building's shared tenants required that noisy trades — demolition, concrete drilling, and MEP rough-in — be confined to off-hours and weekends, creating a compressed daytime schedule.
The client required a high-density, redundant network infrastructure capable of supporting 65 simultaneous users with zero tolerance for latency, spanning two floors and a dedicated server room.
With 4 conference rooms in an open-floor environment, sound transmission between spaces and from the open workspace was a critical concern for confidential client calls and presentations.
The client's leadership prioritized employee wellness by mandating height-adjustable desks, proper lighting levels, and glare-free monitor positioning for all 65 workstations.
Only commercial-grade materials specified for longevity, performance, and the aesthetic standards of a technology company headquarters.
All materials selected comply with low-VOC requirements and support future LEED certification efforts.
Full compliance with Katy, TX fire marshal requirements including sprinkler extensions, signage, and egress paths.
All restrooms, entrance paths, signage, and accessible routes meet ADA Standards for Accessible Design.
Our proven phased approach ensures each trade finishes in the correct sequence, eliminating rework and keeping every milestone on track. This 8,500 sqft office build-out followed our standard commercial delivery methodology adapted for the client's technology-heavy requirements.
"Tell Projects TX transformed our raw shell space into a world-class office in just ten weeks. The attention to detail on every workstation, every conference room, every cable run — it was unlike anything we had seen from a contractor before. Our team's productivity jumped almost immediately. The standing desks, the acoustic rooms, the clean network infrastructure — it all just worked, day one. We moved in on a Saturday and were fully operational Monday morning. I would recommend Tell Projects to any company serious about building a premium workspace in the Katy area. They delivered exactly what they promised, when they promised it."
