What this covers
Interior build-out of a leased commercial shell: partitions, finishes, lighting, and MEP coordination. Work follows the landlord criteria and Denver commercial permit path.

How the work is coordinated
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates licensed specialty trades. Denver-metro work is permitted locally. Colorado has no statewide general-contractor license. Cities and counties license general contractors. DORA licenses electrical and plumbing (and similar regulated trades), not general contractors. Autotelic is a municipally licensed Denver general contractor that coordinates licensed specialty trades. Denver building permits run through Community Planning and Development (CPD). Costs are project-specific; no dollar figures.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you work with multi-site brands and facility programs?
Yes — we run build-outs, refresh programs, and tenant improvements for commercial clients across the Front Range, including recurring facilities work for national brands.
Who handles the permits for a tenant finish?
We do. Commercial permits are issued by the municipality where the space sits, and our team manages drawings, submittals, and inspections through sign-off.
How do you keep a build-out on schedule?
Every project runs on our own operations platform — schedule, submittals, and status updates in one system — so you get straight answers about where things stand, in minutes not days.
