Commercial tenant improvements, built in the Treasure Valley.
Anthem Construction is a general contractor in Meridian, Idaho. We take a commercial space from an approved set of drawings to a certificate of occupancy, and the owner of the company runs your job.
What we build
Most commercial work in this valley happens inside buildings that already exist. That is the work we do: a shell or a second-generation space, a signed lease, and a date the tenant needs to open.
Tenant improvements
Retail, office, service and light commercial build-outs in new shell space or existing suites.
- Framing, ceilings, finishes and millwork
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing coordination
- Equipment-heavy spaces with real utility loads
Commercial remodels
Reworking a space that is already occupied or changing hands, with the neighbors still open for business.
- Selective demolition and reconfiguration
- Restroom and accessibility upgrades
- Phased work around operating tenants
Preconstruction and budgeting
A real number before you commit to a lease or a loan, built from trade pricing and the drawings you have today.
- Budgets from schematic or permit drawings
- Trade bidding and scope review
- Schedule tied to permit and equipment lead times
