West Allis Commercial Remodeling With In-House Plan Review
A West Allis commercial remodel starts differently: the city’s own Inspection Program reviews commercial building and HVAC plans of any size, with nothing mailed to Madison.
Plan review
In-house
West Allis reviews commercial building and HVAC plans in-house, at any size, with no state referral.
Plumbing review
16 or more fixtures
West Allis also reviews larger plumbing jobs itself, including grease interceptors, rather than sending them to the state.

Keeping you open
Phased Commercial Remodeling for West Allis Businesses
T And J puts a written schedule together before the first wall opens in a West Allis space: which areas close, what hours the crew works, and the path customers and staff use around the site.
After-Hours Work
Loud framing or demolition work can shift to nights for a busy tenant.
Phased Areas
Construction stays boxed into one zone, so the rest of your storefront keeps serving customers.
Clear Access
Fire exits and customer paths stay open always.
Dust Containment
Poly sheeting and floor coverings keep dust away from the open space.
One Point of Contact
John takes every call: yours, the landlord’s, the inspector’s.
West Allis code and permits
West Allis Business Remodel Permit and Code Requirements
A house remodel and a commercial job do not share a code book in Wisconsin. West Allis treats offices, shops and restaurants as public buildings or places of employment, governed by SPS 361 to 366, with existing-building work falling under SPS 366. The city reviews and inspects these plans itself, at any size.
West Allis holds the broadest state delegation for commercial building and HVAC plan review, covering every project size in-house, plus local review of larger plumbing work such as grease interceptors. A storefront or site change on National Avenue or Greenfield Avenue goes to the city’s Plan Commission for design review first. T And J confirms which route applies at the walkthrough, then pulls the trade permits and lines up each inspection.

Commercial Remodeling FAQ
West Allis Tenant Build-Out and Remodel FAQ
Ask about your West Allis project: (262) 352-9525.
What does a West Allis commercial remodel cost?
A West Allis commercial remodel is priced by scope level, square footage, and how much of the electrical, HVAC and plumbing changes. T And J walks the space and returns one fixed number; the commercial renovation cost guide on this site shows current per-square-foot ranges.
Can my West Allis business stay open?
Usually, yes. T And J phases the job area by area, moves noisy tasks to evenings or weekends, and screens the work zone with plastic sheeting. The schedule is set in writing before work begins.
Who reviews commercial building plans in West Allis?
West Allis reviews and inspects its own commercial building and HVAC plans, at any size, under a state delegation that does not send projects to Madison. Larger plumbing jobs, including grease interceptors, are reviewed locally too.
What counts as a tenant improvement?
A tenant improvement, or build-out, is the work done to fit a leased West Allis space to a new or continuing tenant. T And J builds it to the lease drawings and the landlord’s rules.
Does a storefront change need Design Review?
Often, yes. West Allis routes exterior or site changes tied to new development or a significant remodel through Plan Commission design review; smaller projects and single-family or duplex work can get staff approval instead. T And J confirms which path your storefront needs.
Do West Allis restaurants need health approval?
Yes. Food-service areas in West Allis are licensed and inspected by the Southwest Suburban Health Department, which the city uses for restaurant plan review. T And J coordinates kitchen equipment and plumbing connections around that review.
Who confirms my landlord's building rules?
T And J does. Building rules, work hours, loading access and insurance certificates are confirmed with your landlord before the schedule is set.
Do you remodel West Allis restaurants?
Yes. T And J remodels dining rooms, bars and restrooms for West Allis restaurants, and coordinates plumbing and equipment tie-ins with the Southwest Suburban Health Department’s review.
