Commercial Construction
Commercial General Contractor Serving Westwood Hills, KS
One accountable team managing design coordination, permitting, scheduling, and budget for commercial and tenant-improvement construction near Westwood Hills.
Our Approach to Commercial Projects
Westwood Hills is one of the smallest incorporated cities in the Kansas City metro, and it’s an overwhelmingly residential community built around its predominantly historic, well-established homes. Commercial opportunities within Westwood Hills itself are limited given the city’s tiny, fully built-out footprint, so most of the commercial general contracting work we perform for clients connected to Westwood Hills takes place across the surrounding Kansas City metro, including neighboring Westwood, Mission Woods, and Kansas City. If you’re evaluating a commercial general contractor near Westwood Hills, the real question isn’t just who can swing a hammer — it’s who can manage design coordination, permitting, subcontractor scheduling, and budget control as one accountable team.
Hickok Homes brings the same in-house design-build management we apply to our custom home and historic renovation projects to commercial construction and tenant improvement work throughout the greater Kansas City metro. Commercial work starts with understanding how a space needs to function for your business or your tenants, then working backward through design, engineering, and a realistic construction schedule.
Preconstruction & Planning
Before any permits are filed, we confirm scope, a line-item budget, and a realistic timeline with you, factoring in the relevant municipality’s and Johnson County’s commercial zoning, permitting, and design-review requirements. Clients with an existing architect or designer are welcome — we coordinate construction documents and permitting around work already underway. We also confirm whether a project’s location requires coordination with both Kansas and Missouri authorities, given how close Westwood Hills sits to the state line, so that cross-jurisdictional detail doesn’t surface as a surprise once construction is underway.
Construction & Quality Control
We manage trade scheduling and quality control on site throughout construction, applying the same transparent, line-item budgeting standard we use on residential projects so change orders are never a surprise. Our vetted trade bench of long-standing Kansas City-area partners carries over directly to commercial scopes.
Local Considerations Near Westwood Hills
Commercial projects near Westwood Hills and across the Kansas City metro often involve municipal and Johnson County permitting and design-review processes, four-season building performance requirements, and coordination with property owners or tenants who need the space to stay partially operational during construction. We walk clients through which of these apply before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Hickok Homes handle commercial construction near Westwood Hills?
Yes. While Westwood Hills itself is a small, predominantly residential city, we manage commercial construction and tenant improvement projects throughout the surrounding Kansas City metro with the same in-house design-build approach we use residentially.
Can Hickok Homes work with my architect on a commercial project?
Yes, we coordinate construction documents, engineering, and permitting around a design that’s already underway with your architect or designer.
What types of commercial projects does Hickok Homes take on near Westwood Hills?
Scope varies by project. Contact us to discuss your specific commercial or tenant improvement needs and our relevant project experience in the area.
How long does a commercial build-out or tenant improvement take?
Timelines vary by scope, but a typical tenant improvement runs 8 to 14 weeks once permits are issued, while ground-up commercial projects run considerably longer.
How is cost and budget handled on a commercial project?
We build a line-item budget from real subcontractor pricing rather than a rough estimate meant to win the bid. You see exactly what’s allocated to each trade before construction starts.
Can you keep our business open during construction?
In many tenant-improvement scopes, yes — we phase work and schedule disruptive trades around your operating hours wherever possible.
Do you handle permitting and zoning for commercial projects across Johnson County and the Missouri side of the metro?
Yes. We manage permitting, design-review submittals, and inspection scheduling with the relevant municipality and county as part of the project.
Do you offer a warranty on commercial work?
Yes, our commercial projects are backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties on installed systems and materials.
What’s the difference between a tenant improvement and new commercial construction?
A tenant improvement builds out an existing shell space for your specific use, while new commercial construction starts from the ground up; we manage both under the same in-house design-build process.
Do you work with property owners as well as tenants?
Yes, we take on projects for both property owners improving a building and tenants building out leased space.
