Building Services and Tenant Improvements

The Fuse Group handles tenant improvements, small commercial renovations, general building repairs and facility improvements for commercial properties and facilities. Because we are also a licensed electrical contractor, the electrical and building work on a project can sit with one contractor.

One contractor for the electrical and the building work

Many commercial projects are mostly electrical with some building work around it: a wall moved for a new office, a ceiling opened for lighting, repairs after equipment is relocated. Splitting that between trades means more scheduling and more people to chase.

Our building services sit alongside our commercial electrical services, so one contact covers the scope, the schedule and the follow-up. One call. Every solution.

What building services cover

Building services are focused on practical commercial work:

  • —Tenant improvements
  • —Small commercial renovations
  • —General building repairs
  • —Facility improvements
  • —Project coordination
  • —Minor repairs

Tenant improvements

When a unit changes hands or a business changes how it uses its space, the electrical layout usually changes too. We handle the electrical side, including distribution, lighting and controls and life safety systems, along with the building work the fit-up needs.

Tell us what the space is now, what it needs to become and when the tenant needs to be in. We will scope the work with you before it starts.

Permits and approvals

Construction work may need a municipal building permit. That is issued by the municipality, not by us, and the requirements vary by municipality and project. The electrical work is separate: it needs an ESA notification of work, which we file as the Licensed Electrical Contractor. ESA notes that you may need both. Our guide to electrical permits and ESA notifications explains the difference.

Who this is for

Property managers, business owners, landlords and facility teams. For planned, recurring support instead of one-off projects, see service and facility maintenance. For larger new construction, our commercial electrical team handles the electrical scope.

Where we work

We are based in Guelph and take on commercial projects across our service area, including Guelph, Kitchener, Waterloo, Milton, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton. Work can be scheduled around business hours, with Saturday and Sunday appointments on request.
