Commercial renovation in Montreal operates on different terms than residential work. Timelines are tighter, schedules are less flexible, and the cost of delay is measured in lost revenue, not inconvenience. At FCD Kitchen & Bath, we understand those stakes and we build our commercial projects accordingly.

We complete commercial renovation projects for restaurants, cafés, retail boutiques, professional offices, medical clinics, fitness studios, and mixed-use commercial properties across Montreal and the surrounding region. Whether you are fitting out a new restaurant lease, refreshing a dated retail space, completing a tenant improvement for a professional office, or renovating a commercial kitchen, we deliver the finished space on time, on budget, and built to perform under commercial use.

What Our Commercial Renovation Service Includes

Every commercial project begins with a detailed review of your space, your operational requirements, your timeline, and your budget. Commercial renovation has constraints that residential work does not — permit requirements are more complex, inspections are more rigorous, material specifications must meet commercial durability standards, and the sequencing of trades must account for lead times that can affect your opening or re-opening date.

Our scope covers full interior demolition and buildout, commercial-grade tile and flooring installation, custom cabinetry and millwork, countertops and surfaces, fixture and hardware installation, lighting and ventilation, and all finishing details. We manage all permits required by the City of Montreal and coordinate directly with inspectors so you are not navigating that process independently.

For restaurant and food-service clients, our commercial kitchen buildout scope includes stainless steel work surfaces and shelving, commercial-grade quarry tile and epoxy flooring, coordination with commercial equipment suppliers and hood installation contractors, and compliance with MAPAQ and municipal food service requirements where applicable.

Commercial Project Types We Handle in Montreal

Restaurant and café fit-outs represent a significant portion of our commercial work. These projects require tight coordination between the front-of-house finish work — flooring, tile, custom millwork, lighting, bar construction — and the back-of-house buildout, which involves commercial kitchen infrastructure, plumbing, ventilation, and equipment coordination. We have completed restaurant fit-outs across downtown Montreal, Griffintown, Verdun, and the Plateau, and we understand what these projects require beyond standard renovation scope.

Retail boutique renovations involve high-finish interior work — custom display cabinetry, premium flooring, detailed lighting, and a fit-out that communicates the brand from the moment a customer walks through the door. We approach these projects with the same attention to finish detail that we bring to high-end residential work.

Professional office renovations and tenant improvements are typically driven by a lease deadline and a specific fit-out specification. We build to those specifications efficiently and reliably, managing the permitting and inspection process to ensure occupancy is not delayed.

How We Manage Commercial Timelines

Schedule reliability is what separates a capable commercial contractor from a frustrating one. We build a detailed construction schedule before work begins that accounts for permit lead times, material delivery windows, inspection hold points, and the sequencing of every trade. We manage that schedule actively throughout the project, not reactively. When a lead time shifts or an inspection is delayed, we adjust the sequence rather than losing days to idle trades waiting on a predecessor task.

For businesses that need to remain partially operational during renovation — a restaurant renovating one section at a time, or a retail space keeping part of the floor open — we structure the work in phases that respect your operational constraints without extending the overall project unnecessarily.

Why Montreal Businesses Choose FCD

Our commercial clients choose FCD because they want a single contractor accountable for the entire project and capable of delivering it on a fixed schedule. We do not subcontract the project management. A dedicated project manager from our team runs every commercial job from the first site visit through to the handover walkthrough, and that person is reachable throughout the project — not filtering calls through an office.

Timeline and Investment

Commercial renovation timelines vary significantly based on scope, permitting requirements, and the operational constraints of the space. A retail boutique refresh can be completed in two to three weeks. A full restaurant buildout from bare shell typically runs six to ten weeks depending on the kitchen scope and permit lead times. We provide a detailed written proposal and construction schedule before any work begins, with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.
