As a tenant, it is critical that you choose a general contractor that understands how to work with you from a tenant’s perspective. Most of the time, tenants need an adviser not just a general contractor. You may ask: How will my space look when the build-out is complete? How can I save costs while building out my space to meet my specific needs? Will the work I am having done conform to the owner’s lease agreement?
These are all critical, tenant build-out questions. For over 50 years, Kalmia has advised tenants on how to properly execute lease improvements. We work with our tenant clients on many different levels. We can show you how to save costs through value engineering and connect you with our professional partners to design your new space. Whether it is a large or small project, you can feel confident that Kalmia will deliver on what we promise. As our client owners and brokers will attest, we are the best at working in tenant-occupied spaces. We’ve built our 50-year reputation on it!

We’ve been around for 50 years and we aren’t going anywhere
50 years in business is a long time in any industry, but in the Commercial General Contracting world that is a big accomplishment.
Our clients trust us to:
- Submit a competitive, but fair bid.
- Assign a professional and experienced team to work on the project.
- Communicate in a timely and professional manner during the project.
- Finish our projects on time and on budget.
After 50 years in the general contracting business, our clients know that they can count on us to do what we say we will do.
Our repeat partners tell us the single biggest reason that they hire us as a preferred vendor is because of our superintendents. Sure there are other reasons for the repeat business, but our Supers are the best. Each of our guys has different areas of specialization; they all understand how to work in tenant occupied spaces. At the foundation of their strength is the ability to properly communicate throughout the construction process with the owner/tenant, architect, and subs.
Kalmia maintains a close working relationship with many of the Commercial Real Estate, Property Management and Architecture firms in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. We have gained the trust and repeat business from our partners.
