Tenant fit-out plumbing for businesses across Kitchener-Waterloo
A tenant fit-out turns a leased unit, often an empty shell with services capped at the wall or floor, into a working space for one business. The plumbing has to suit the new use, and a dental office, a café and a retail shop need very different fixtures, drains and hot water.
We work with tenants, landlords and general contractors on fit-outs, from adding a washroom or kitchenette to full restaurant plumbing. Landlords often have their own rules for contractors working in the building, and proof of WSIB coverage is a common one, which we carry.
When to call us
- You have signed a lease on a unit that needs washrooms or a kitchen
- The space was used for something different before
- Your landlord has asked for a plumbing contractor with WSIB coverage
- The drawings need the plumbing reviewed before the permit application
- The existing plumbing does not match the new layout
How the job works
Review the space and drawings
We look at where the existing water, sanitary and vent connections are and how they fit the new layout.
Coordinate with the landlord and contractor
We confirm the building's requirements, the schedule and any shutdowns needed to tie into shared lines.
Rough-in
We run the new lines, cutting the slab where drains have to go below the floor, and test them for inspection.
Finish
We install the fixtures and equipment, and the work is inspected before the space opens.
Common questions
Who pays for the plumbing in a tenant fit-out?
It depends on the lease. Some landlords provide basic washrooms or an allowance and the tenant pays for anything beyond that, so check the lease before the work is quoted.
Do we need a permit for a fit-out?
Most fit-outs that add or move plumbing need a building permit, and the plumbing is inspected as part of it.
Will the building's water be shut off during the work?
Connecting to shared lines can need a short shutdown of part of the building. These are scheduled with the landlord in advance so other tenants can be told.
