Commercial Construction in Surrey, BC
A commercial build is won or lost on the permit sequence, long before anyone breaks ground. We have two clinics in progress in Surrey right now — a pharmacy on 156 Street and a dental build on Whalley Boulevard. Surrey is a different problem from the smaller municipalities around it: the corridors are newer, the buildings are bigger, and the approval path runs through a city that processes a very high volume of commercial applications.

Reviews
What clinic owners say.
Very impressed with Oberizon Construction and the way they handled our dental clinic build. The team managed everything from planning to execution, and the final result was exactly what we envisioned.
We hired Oberizon to build out our dental clinic and they did an amazing job. The place looks so clean and modern, exactly the look we were going for.
Working with Oberizon on our dental clinic was a great experience from start to finish. Jas Oberoi and his team were professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting the details right.
Local planning
How it runs in Surrey.
Surrey is the only municipality here that publishes a separate Medical Clinic Tenant Improvement permit, with its own three-week target. A clinic fit-out is not queued behind general commercial work. Fraser Health approval is required before the permit is issued where the space involves food handling, personal services or recreational services.
Surrey's commercial activity spreads across several distinct centres rather than one downtown — City Centre around Whalley and King George, Guildford, Fleetwood and Newton each carry their own professional and retail tenancy. Much of the healthcare space is in newer mixed-use and strata buildings, which usually means better base-building services than the older Fraser Valley stock but tighter strata rules about noise, hours and shared systems. The city has been adding population faster than almost anywhere in the province, and clinic demand has followed it into the suburban centres rather than staying downtown.

What decides this build
A ground-up commercial build is a servicing problem before it is a building problem. Power, water and storm capacity to the lot decide the schedule long before anyone prices drywall.
We confirm the service capacity at the property line before pricing the build. An upgrade to the transformer or the water service runs on the utility's timeline rather than the site's. No amount of crew recovers those weeks once they are lost.
Project review
We walk the space and price the risk before you commit to commercial construction. Permits and services are the two that bite.
Servicing confirmed
Capacity at the property line is verified before the price is fixed. A utility upgrade is a timeline nobody on site can compress.
Approvals in parallel
Development permit, building permit and servicing agreements run alongside each other wherever the municipality allows it.

Questions
Frequently asked.
Does Oberizon handle commercial construction in Surrey?
Yes — we have 2 projects in progress in Surrey right now, including 156 St pharmacy. We run commercial construction across the Lower Mainland from a White Rock head office.
Who issues the building permit for commercial construction in Surrey?
The building permit is issued by City of Surrey — Building Division, reviewed against the BC Building Code and the city's own zoning. Surrey runs tenant improvements as their own permit stream and splits it three ways: minor, new and medical clinic. Review typically runs 3 business days for a minor tenant improvement and 3 weeks for a medical clinic fit-out against the city's own published targets.
How much does commercial construction cost in Surrey?
$120–$220 per sq ft turnkey — typically $300k–$550k for a 2,500 sq ft space. Base-building condition and finish level move that number most. The full 2026 breakdown is in the cost guide at /cost.
What areas near Surrey does Oberizon serve for commercial construction?
Most conversations start around City Centre, Guildford, and Fleetwood. We travel further when the scope justifies it.
What should I prepare before starting commercial construction in Surrey?
The address, your lease stage and a target opening date. Drawings and a budget range help. The more we know early, the tighter the feasibility comes back.
What decides the schedule on a ground-up commercial build?
Servicing capacity at the property line. Power, water and storm have to carry the finished building, and a utility upgrade runs on the utility's timeline rather than the site's — which is why we confirm it before pricing rather than during construction.
What is checked before a fixed price is given?
Electrical capacity, make-up air and the condition of anything being kept. A fixed price given without verifying those is a fixed price with a change order already in it.
Can Oberizon review my Surrey space before I commit?
Yes. A review finds the permit and service risks before you sign a lease or a design. That is the cheapest point to find them — a change after drawings are sealed costs weeks, not hours.
Planning commercial construction in Surrey?
Before you commit to a space, drawings, a budget, or a construction timeline, book a consultation and we will tell you what has to be planned before construction starts.
