The Gervais Difference: Same Team, Start to Finish
Most tenant improvement contractors split the work into phases with a preconstruction team builds the plan, then hands it off to a field team to execute. Context gets lost. Schedule assumptions don’t hold up. And you’re left coordinating between people who weren’t all in the room when decisions were made.
At Gervais Ventures, the team that plans your project is the team that builds it. You work directly with the owner overseeing your build — not a project manager who inherited a file.
That continuity is what keeps TI projects on schedule. Trade coordination happens before crews arrive. Procurement is tied to your actual timeline. Decisions get made with execution in mind from day one. When construction starts, the job moves the way it was designed to.

Frequently Asked questions
What is a tenant improvement contractor?
A tenant improvement (TI) contractor specializes in renovating leased commercial spaces to meet a tenant’s specific needs, whether that’s building out raw shell space, reconfiguring an existing layout, or upgrading systems and finishes. TI work is common in office buildings, retail centers, medical facilities, and mixed-use properties.
What’s the difference between a tenant improvement and a build-out?
The terms are often used interchangeably. “Tenant improvement” typically refers to any renovation a tenant makes to a leased space. “Build-out” usually describes constructing a space from scratch, starting with an unfinished shell. Both fall within Gervais Ventures’ scope of work.
How long does a tenant improvement project take in Jacksonville?
Timeline depends on scope, permitting, and the condition of the existing space. A straightforward office reconfiguration might take 4–8 weeks. A full build-out of a medical suite or restaurant can run 3–6 months. We’ll give you a realistic schedule during preconstruction — not an optimistic one that shifts once work begins.
Do you work with property managers and landlords, or only tenants?
Both. We regularly partner with property
managers, building owners, and landlords who need a reliable contractor to execute TI work on behalf of incoming tenants and with tenants who are managing their own build-out directly.
Is Gervais Ventures licensed in Florida?
Yes. We are a Florida Certified General Contractor, license number CGC 1536293, and a certified Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) in Florida.
Do you handle permitting for tenant improvement projects in Jacksonville?
Yes. We manage the full permitting process with the City of Jacksonville and the applicable county building departments, including permit applications, plan review coordination, and inspection scheduling.
