Setting up a new business is a wild ride—equal parts thrilling and nerve-wracking at times. As you dive into your tenant improvement (TI) build or renovation, it’s easy to get bogged down in the details. Should the ceiling be matte or satin? What about the flooring pattern? Here’s the truth: it’s okay to leave some decisions TBD. In fact, most construction projects—ours included—roll forward with a chunk of details still up in the air. That’s not a flaw; it’s normal. Obsessing over paint styles or tile layouts too early is like picking a wedding cake flavor before you’ve booked the venue—there’s no sense in stressing until the time’s right. Our approach? Nail down the trunk skeleton first: the layout, walls, and core systems. Then, let the fit and finish—like colors and textures—fall into place later, often around the drywall phase. You’ll get to see the space take shape before locking in those final touches, making it easier to choose what feels right. So, take a breath, focus on the big moves, and trust that the details will sort themselves out when it’s their turn.
