Commercial Interior Design Services
Design through construction. One firm. One contract.
Commercial interior design is the process of planning, designing, and building a business space that works for your specific operation. It covers everything from initial space evaluation and lease review through construction management and Certificate of Occupancy. The goal is a space that supports your business operations, meets code requirements, and stays within budget.
Texas has specific requirements that affect commercial interior projects. Building codes, fire marshal review, ADA compliance, health department approval (for restaurants), and city-specific permit timelines all vary by location. A firm with statewide experience navigates these differences so your project stays on schedule. For tenant improvement projects, understanding your lease and landlord TI allowance is the first step.
Prestige 360 Design handles six commercial interior categories: retail, restaurant and food service, medical and dental, wellness and med spa, fitness studios, and professional offices. Each category has specific code requirements, equipment needs, and layout considerations that generic contractors often miss.
The most common mistake business owners make is hiring a contractor before hiring a designer. Without defined scope, contractor bids are estimates, not fixed prices. A designer produces permit drawings, identifies code conflicts, coordinates with the landlord, and defines the construction scope. This process, the foundation of our commercial buildout planning and tenant improvement services, typically saves 15-25% on total project cost by preventing change orders.
Prestige 360 works across San Antonio, Austin, Houston, and Dallas-Fort Worth. Each city has different permit timelines, inspection requirements, and market conditions. We also serve the Texas Hill Country corridor, including New Braunfels. Having one firm handle design through construction under one contract eliminates the coordination problems that cause delays and budget overruns. Prestige 360 Design is led by Hugo Ramirez, a San Antonio commercial architect and founder who personally reviews project scope, layout, and permit path before work begins.

Frequently Asked
Commercial Interior Design Questions
Commercial interior design includes space planning, layout design, permit drawings, construction management, and finish work. For Texas businesses, it also covers city-specific building codes, ADA compliance, fire marshal review, and health department approval for restaurants. The scope runs from initial space evaluation through Certificate of Occupancy.
Commercial interior design projects in Texas typically range from $25,000 to $200,000 depending on space size, business type, and finish level. Cost per square foot ranges from $85 to $200+. The primary cost drivers are plumbing additions, HVAC modifications, electrical capacity, and finish materials.
One firm can handle the full scope from design through construction. Prestige 360 Design provides space planning, permit drawings, construction management, and finish under one contract. This eliminates coordination problems between separate designers, architects, and contractors that cause delays and cost overruns.
Commercial interior design must meet building codes, ADA requirements, fire safety standards, and occupancy limits that do not apply to residential projects. Commercial projects also require city permits, fire marshal review, and sometimes health department approval. The design process focuses on business operations, customer flow, and staff efficiency.
Planning takes 3 to 6 weeks from space evaluation to permit-ready drawings. Construction takes 8 to 14 weeks depending on scope. Total timeline from start to Certificate of Occupancy is typically 12 to 20 weeks. Permit review timelines vary by city.
Yes. Prestige 360 manages the full permit process including building permits, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and fire alarm permits. We verify ADA compliance for accessible routes, restrooms, and door clearances. For restaurants, we coordinate health department approval.

A commercial interior decorator focuses on finishes, furnishings, color palettes, and aesthetics. A commercial interior designer handles the full scope: space planning, permit drawings, code compliance, and construction management in addition to finishes. For most Texas business owners, you need a commercial interior design firm that covers both — Prestige 360 provides design, permits, and construction management under one contract.
Look for a commercial interior design firm with verifiable Texas projects, not just a portfolio gallery. The firm should handle permits and construction coordination in addition to design.
