Tenant Improvement Checklist by NM Interiors Group

I have been asked so many times over the years, what is the process involved in designing and building a commercial space, a Tenant Improvement.  So I collaborated with a contractor to create a checklist which explains every step of the process.  Below is the first page of the checklist.  For the full checklist refer to our Tools page on the www.nminteriors.biz website.

Architecture – Santiago, Chile

The architecture in Santiago, Chile was contemporary and beautiful. Green practices were incorporated in most of the buildings – predominately high rise buildings.  Both business and residential buildings were multi-level.  The infrastructure and transportation system for the city was amazing.

Art in Costa Rica

Lovely Art in Costa Rica.  The downtown area in San Jose had several museums, I was particularly taken with the sculptures and tile work! The existing interior walls were left to original condition in the museum shown below.  Lovely architectural textures with centuries of layers peeled away in spots. I was in San Jose on a South American design training session for Best Western International.
