Rubicon Construction

Built to Deliver.

Commercial Interiors & New Construction

Rubicon Construction is a commercial general contractor serving the Puget Sound Region, Oregon, and Idaho. The work ranges from dental and veterinary clinic buildouts to restaurant interiors, office tenant improvements, retail rollouts, and new commercial construction. If you're building or improving a specialized business space, the Rubicon team has done it before.

Start Your Project

Built for the Way Your Business Works

Most commercial construction involves more than four walls and a finish package. Office space has significant MEP upgrades and building rules and regulations. Dental offices need treatment rooms coordinated around equipment vendors. Veterinary clinics require durable finishes, specific plumbing, and noise control. Restaurants need commercial kitchen infrastructure and permit coordination. Rubicon works in these environments regularly, so the project planning reflects how each type of space actually operates.

The team is right-sized for regional commercial work: ownership stays involved in projects, communication is consistent throughout the build, and the approach is practical rather than padded. Rubicon supports both individual business owners opening a first location and regional operators managing multi-site programs.

Restaurant & Retail

Buildouts, remodels, and new construction for restaurant operators. Rubicon coordinates commercial kitchen infrastructure, hood systems, dining room finishes, permitting, and vendor schedules.

Health & Fitness

Commercial interiors for gyms, fitness studios, and wellness facilities. Rubicon plans for flooring, acoustics, HVAC loads, equipment placement, and the durable finishes that high-traffic spaces require.

Retail & Franchise Construction

Buildouts for retail brands, franchise operators, and multi-site rollout programs. Rubicon supports brand standard compliance, site coordination across multiple locations, and consistent execution across markets.

Commercial Construction Services

From early budget planning through final closeout, Rubicon covers the construction side of a commercial project:

Tenant Improvements

Construction for tenants building out new commercial spaces or improving existing leased space. Rubicon manages the construction scope, landlord coordination, permitting, and subcontractor work from contract through certificate of occupancy.

Commercial Interiors

Interior buildout and finish work for offices, clinics, restaurants, retail spaces, and specialized business environments. Rubicon coordinates layout, finishes, systems, and the construction schedule for interior-focused commercial projects.

New Construction

Ground-up construction for commercial clients who need a new building rather than a tenant improvement. Rubicon handles coordination across the full construction scope, working with the owner's design team and local authorities through permit, construction, and closeout.

Preconstruction & Budgeting

Early cost planning, scope review, and constructability input before construction begins. Rubicon helps clients understand what a project will actually cost and how long it will take, so decisions about lease terms, design, and financing are grounded in real construction information.

Multi-Site Construction Programs

Consistent communication, documentation and construction execution for regional operators opening or improving multiple locations at the same time.

Occupied-Space

Renovation and remodel work for commercial spaces that remain open and operating during construction. Rubicon phases the schedule, coordinates with tenants or staff, and manages site logistics to limit disruption from contract through completion.

Design-Build Coordination

A single point of accountability for clients who want design and construction managed together rather than as separate contracts. Rubicon coordinates the design team, budget, and construction schedule from early planning through closeout.

Permitting & Project Planning

Permit strategy and project scheduling for commercial construction before ground is broken. Rubicon manages submittals, agency coordination, and timeline planning so clients know what approvals are required and how they affect the overall project schedule.

Restaurant

Construction and buildout for restaurant, food service, and commercial kitchen spaces with code-driven mechanical, plumbing, and ventilation requirements. Rubicon coordinates equipment vendors, health department requirements, and specialty subcontractors from contract through certificate of occupancy.

Ground-Up

New construction for commercial clients building on undeveloped or cleared sites. Rubicon manages coordination across the full construction scope, working with the owner's design team and local authorities through permit, construction, and closeout.

Warehouse & Industrial Construction

Construction for warehouse, distribution, and industrial facilities with large-scale structural, loading, and systems requirements. Rubicon manages subcontractor coordination, site logistics, and the construction schedule from contract through completion.

Why Clients Work With Rubicon

Several things come up consistently in how clients describe working with Rubicon:

Owner-Led Projects

Ownership stays involved rather than handing the project off to someone who wasn't part of the conversation
Clear Communication

Communication stays clear through the whole build, from kickoff to closeout
Budget-First Planning

The team understands cost drivers and plans around the budget from the beginning
Sector Expertise

Specialized sector experience means fewer surprises when the construction details get specific

Real Client Reviews

Real reviews from real Rubicon clients

"I had the pleasure of working with Rubicon to help build my start up dental practice in Kent, WA. Steve and Rockwell and their entire team were so wonderful to work with. They made the process easy and smooth from the beginning to the end. They checked all the boxes in what I find important when working with a team. From someone who had little knowledge in the process of building a practice, it was important for me to find a team who is transparent and communication was key. I was consistently updated on the timeline and budget and they were responsive to my questions and concerns. My other vendors had the pleasure of working with Rubicon and had nothing but a positive experience. With their background and combined years of experience, I had confidence in their delivery and execution. I highly recommend their services to creating your vision into a reality."
