What Our Clients Say

“When Fulcrum is on one of our projects, I know I’m going to sleep well at night. We’ve worked together for a lot of years, and they’ve always been a team we can count on.

They communicate, they bring solutions when issues come up, and they’re always looking for ways to make the project and our lives a little easier. That’s what you want in a construction partner.”

FAQs

Does Fulcrum Construction build retail stores?

Yes. Retail construction is one of our core markets. The firm handles ground-up construction, tenant improvements, and remodels for national and regional retailers and developers, from single stores to multi-site programs.

What retail brands has Fulcrum Construction worked with?

Fulcrum has worked with major retail brands including Dick's, Sephora, PGA Tour Superstore, Target, QuikTrip, and Walgreens, completing hundreds of projects with these clients over many years.

Visit our Who We Work With page to see the full range of retail, industrial, and developer partners we've built with.

Who We Work With
What is tenant improvement (TI) construction?

Tenant improvement construction refers to the interior build-out of a leased retail space to fit a specific tenant's needs. TI work typically includes flooring, walls, ceilings, lighting, fixtures, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.

Tenant improvement construction is common in shopping centers, malls, and multi-tenant retail buildings where the base building already exists. Fulcrum has extensive experience with TI in both closed and open store environments.

What is a vanilla shell or white box in construction?

A vanilla shell, also called a white box, is a retail space finished to a basic, unbranded condition, typically with drywall, a concrete or unfinished floor, and rough mechanical and electrical connections in place. It gives a tenant a clean, blank starting point for their own build-out. And yes, we can build these for you.

Can Fulcrum Construction build in occupied, operating retail stores?

Yes. Open-store remodels are one of Fulcrum's specialties. Many retail projects must be completed while stores remain open, so work is sequenced carefully and coordinated with ownership and tenants.

It's a priority for Fulcrum to maintain safe, controlled jobsites with a strong emphasis on the safety of customers, employees, pedestrians, and vehicles. We keep the store shoppable and well-lit throughout construction.

Check out our Safety page to learn more about how we promote safe jobsites.

Safety
Does Fulcrum handle both single stores and multi-location retail programs?

Yes. Fulcrum builds individual retail stores as well as larger programs across many locations. For multi-site rollouts and refreshes, visit our Rollouts, Refreshes & Programs page.

Rollouts, Refreshes, & Programs
How long does a typical retail build take?

Retail construction timelines vary based on project scope, store size, and whether the store remains open during construction. For a more specific answer to this question, Contact Us to talk about your project.
