Project type
How a commercial tenant finish or new build project works at Autotelic
A commercial project usually starts as a tenant finish inside an existing shell, or occasionally a restaurant patio built alongside it for outdoor seating. The technology and infrastructure layer is where commercial work differs most from residential: network infrastructure, video conferencing rooms, access control, security cameras, digital signage, a server rack build, and building automation sized for the space.
Doors today: A scoped consult, then a site meeting, then a concept and feasibility retainer in the portal.
The flight plan
1. Feasibility
liveA commercial project starts with a scoped consult rather than a self-serve tool — a real, live path, just not automated yet.
2. Front desk
liveChloe or a call to the front desk takes the first details about the space and the timeline.
A real visitor probes what Chloe knows; she does not invent an answer · captured 2026-09-08, reviewed by Robert { "page_context": "general", "status": "abandoned", "message_count": 5, "history": [ { "role": "assistant", "content": "Hey!

liveA site meeting leads to a concept and a feasibility retainer set up in the client portal.
4. Estimate
in buildCommercial pricing runs through the same scoped consult while a self-serve commercial estimate mode is still in build.

Questions
Why isn't there a self-serve commercial estimate yet?
Commercial scopes vary more than residential ones — that self-serve mode is in build; a scoped consult prices the job today instead.
Does the feasibility retainer apply to the final invoice?
That's a contract detail set during the scoped consult, not something this tour prices in the abstract.
Can a commercial tenant finish include a patio?
Yes — a restaurant patio is often scoped as part of the same tenant-finish project, or as its own project alongside it.
Who handles the technology infrastructure on a commercial job?
The same team handles construction and the technology layer — network infrastructure, access control, cameras, signage, and building automation are scoped alongside the buildout, not subcontracted separately.
