Your office space shapes how your team works, communicates, and performs. Whether you're moving into a raw shell or renovating an outdated floor plan, an office buildout is your opportunity to create an environment purpose-built for your business. Nardi Construction has been delivering office space buildouts for over 30 years, helping companies across every industry turn empty square footage into productive, professional workplaces.
Based in Gurnee, Illinois, we serve clients throughout Chicagoland and the tristate area, with project capabilities extending nationwide. From a single executive suite to a multi-floor corporate headquarters, our team manages the full scope of work so you can focus on running your business.
Our Office Buildout Services
Open & Private Office Layouts
We build both open-concept floor plans and traditional private office configurations—or a hybrid of the two. Our team works with your architect or space planner to frame, wire, and finish office layouts that balance collaboration with the privacy your team needs to do focused work.
Conference & Meeting Rooms
Meeting spaces need more than four walls and a door. We build conference rooms with proper soundproofing, integrated AV conduit, appropriate lighting, and ventilation sized for occupancy—so your rooms are comfortable whether it's a two-person call or a full team presentation.
Reception & Lobby Areas
First impressions start at the front door. We construct reception areas and lobbies that reflect your brand—from millwork and feature walls to lighting, flooring, and signage prep. Whether your style is polished corporate or modern creative, we build it to your vision.
Break Rooms & Common Areas
Employee break rooms, kitchenettes, and common areas require plumbing, ventilation, and durable finishes that stand up to daily use. We handle cabinetry, countertops, sink installation, and appliance hookups to create spaces your team actually wants to use.
IT & Server Rooms
Technology infrastructure is the backbone of any modern office. We build server rooms and IT closets with proper climate control, dedicated electrical circuits, cable management, and secure access—ensuring your critical systems have a reliable, well-organized home.
ADA Restrooms & Accessibility
Office buildouts frequently require new restroom construction or upgrades to meet current ADA standards. We build compliant restrooms from scratch or retrofit existing facilities with accessible fixtures, grab bars, clearances, and signage.
How We Work
Office buildouts involve tight coordination between multiple trades—framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire suppression, low-voltage, and finishes—all working in sequence within the same space. Nardi Construction manages this entire process so you have a single point of contact from pre-construction planning through move-in day.
We start with a detailed walk-through and scope review, then deliver a transparent estimate broken down by trade and phase. During construction, your dedicated project manager provides regular updates and manages any changes that come up. Our crews are experienced working in occupied buildings, coordinating around business hours and neighboring tenants to minimize disruption.
