Commercial construction & restoration
Tenant fit-outs, build-outs, facade and coating restoration, and capital repair programs for property managers, owners, and institutions across Chester, Montgomery, Delaware, Bucks and Lancaster County PA, plus New Castle County DE.
Built for property managers and owners
Commercial clients rarely need a contractor who can only do one thing. They need someone who can price a coating and restoration package on a high-rise, handle the concrete and drainage on a nine-building historic campus, and turn a suite around between tenants — and produce documentation their ownership group will accept.
One clarification up front: CAWR does not do ground-up new construction. Every scope below is work on an existing building — fit-out, renovation, restoration, repair, and maintenance. If you're putting up a new facility, we're the wrong call, and we'd rather say so now than after a walk.
Short of that, this is the work CAWR is built for. We carry the insurance limits commercial properties require, work inside occupied buildings and off-hour windows, and write scopes that a facilities director or asset manager can hand to their board without translating.

What commercial clients get
The things that actually cause commercial projects to go sideways, handled up front.
How commercial projects start
Most commercial engagements begin one of three ways: a walkthrough with a facilities director on a defined scope, a request for pricing off a bid set or work letter, or a condition assessment where the owner knows something is failing but not what it will cost to fix.
All three are fine. For the third, we'll walk the property, document conditions with photos, and give you a prioritized budget — what has to be done this year, what can be deferred, and what gets more expensive if you wait.
For pricing requests, send the drawings, work letter, or scope narrative to info@cawrconsulting.com with your bid date and we'll confirm whether we're bidding within one business day.
Frequently asked questions
Most of it runs from roughly $25,000 through the mid six figures — tenant fit-outs, coating and restoration packages, capital repair programs, and campus maintenance contracts. Smaller and larger scopes both get looked at. The one thing we don't do is ground-up new construction; all of our commercial work is on existing buildings.
Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation and can name additional insureds including ownership entities, property managers, and lenders. Send us your insurance requirements with the RFP and we'll confirm compliance before bidding.
Yes, and much of our commercial work is scheduled that way. Off-hour work is priced into the proposal rather than added later. We handle tenant notification, dust and noise containment, and phased area releases so the building keeps operating.
Yes. We currently maintain multi-building institutional campuses including historic properties, covering building maintenance, grounds, concrete and site work, and capital repairs under a single point of contact.
Change orders require written authorization before the work proceeds — no exceptions, no surprise line items at closeout. Concealed conditions are identified with photos and priced at the unit rates established in the original proposal wherever they apply.
