Southeastern Renovation is a division of Southeastern Renovation LLC, the Charleston general contractor behind Southeastern Renovation (SC Lic. CLG.127339). Work is coordinated by Southeastern Renovation as the general contractor. Licensed trade subcontractors handle work requiring their trade credentials; permit responsibilities depend on the project scope and jurisdiction.
Small commercial is a different job from residential in three ways that matter: the landlord and the lease usually dictate what may be changed, the tenant is paying rent on an empty unit while the work runs, and the code requirements around accessibility, egress and occupancy are enforced more actively.
That makes the schedule the product. A fit-out that runs two weeks late is two weeks of rent against no revenue, so the sequencing and the inspection dates get planned before anyone demolishes anything.
We are honest about the ceiling: this is small commercial. Interior fit-outs, refreshes, and light build-outs for offices, retail and professional space — not ground-up commercial construction.

Not ground-up commercial construction and not large industrial work. If a project is bigger than we should take, saying so early is more useful to you than a bid we cannot deliver.
Three things. The lease usually governs what may be altered and needs landlord sign-off.
Accessibility, egress and occupancy requirements are enforced more actively than in a house. And the tenant is normally paying rent throughout, so the programme is worth more than a small saving on the price.
For occupied retail and office space, usually yes, and often it is the only sensible approach.

Yes, and commercial permitting is a longer path than residential — plan review, and depending on scope drawings from a design professional.
Building that time into the schedule at the start is what stops it becoming the reason a fit-out overran.
