Yes. If a franchise architect is brought into a project before a lease is signed they will often save you money on construction costs (plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems, fire sprinklers, fire alarm systems, finishes, etc.). In addition, if they are good, they can often get you additional tenant improvement dollars to correct existing conditions. Our clients realize savings on average of 5-8% for build-outs in existing spaces and also consistently see savings in new spaces.
