Design-Build Commercial Fit-Outs Across New Jersey

More Than a Contractor — Your Partner in Hospitality & Healthcare Transformation

Where Function Meets Brand: Every Detail Considered

A well-executed fit-out does more than complete a space—it shapes how people experience it. It’s where guests are welcomed, your teams serve, and your brand comes to life. For over 35 years, Design Alternatives has approached every commercial fit-out project with clarity, creativity, and complete accountability.

We’re not just here to execute your vision—we help shape it, plan it, and bring it to life with precision. As a design-build commercial fit-out contractor, we handle every step of your project, from casework and millwork fabrication to furnishings and finishes. Whether you’re building out a restaurant, medical office, entertainment venue, or boutique hospitality space, our turnkey build-outs and fit-out renovation services make the process seamless—and the results exceptional.

Designing Spaces That Welcome & Perform

A commercial fit-out is more than a layer of finishes—it’s the framework for how your space feels, functions, and reflects your brand. At Design Alternatives, we create environments that communicate identity while supporting the flow of work and movement within.

From restaurants and bars to healthcare facilities, entertainment venues, and hospitality spaces, our design-build commercial fit-out services blend creativity with operational insight. Every decision—casework, furnishings, millwork, and layout—is tailored to your goals, ensuring your space looks exceptional and performs effortlessly day after day.

By collaborating closely with stakeholders, we make every square foot purposeful, translating your vision into a space that’s both beautiful and built to last.

Fit Out Experts Delivering Speed, Quality, and Precision

With over 5 million square feet of commercial interiors completed across New Jersey, Design Alternatives delivers design-build fit-outs at a pace few can match. Our integrated model streamlines every phase—from concept to completion—so projects move faster without sacrificing craftsmanship or control. The result: spaces delivered on time, on budget, and built to last.

Design Before You Start Your Lease

Our pre-design services help you make confident decisions before you commit to a space. We assess floor plans, infrastructure, and layout potential to ensure your chosen property aligns with your operational needs and long-term goals. We refine your design concept and make core furniture and finish selections before you commit to a space, so that you can move quickly when the lease is signed. By starting design early, you gain clarity on build-out feasibility, budget expectations, and the true potential of your new environment.

Space Planning, Interior Layout & Custom Casework

We design functional and coordinated layouts that improve flow, efficiency, and functionality—tailored to how your guests and staff use the space. Each plan is grounded in real-world use and integrates custom casework, furnishings, and millwork for a smarter, more seamless environment.

End-to-End Project Management & Contractor Oversight

Tight timelines demand tighter coordination. Our team handles all the moving parts, from scheduling to site supervision—so you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors or timelines. We manage logistics and communication to keep the project running smoothly from start to finish.

From Minor Buildouts to Full Interior Renovations

We tailor our services to match your project scope—whether you’re upgrading a restaurant bar area, refreshing a healthcare reception space, or transforming an entire hospitality venue. No matter the size, every project receives the same expert planning, custom casework integration, and accountable project management.

Walls, Ceilings, Flooring & Finish Selection

Quick, coordinated material decisions that keep timelines intact. We guide material selections that balance performance and design—ensuring your space looks great and holds up to daily use. From surfaces to finishes, we make selections that align with both aesthetics and durability.

Serving Hospitality, Healthcare & Residential Clients

At Design Alternatives, we create interiors that reflect the quality and story of your brand while ensuring every space functions as it should. Our fit-out work is rooted in thoughtful, upscale design—with casework at the center—so your interiors feel cohesive, professional, and built to last.

From custom millwork and furnishings to carefully selected materials, we deliver comprehensive solutions that balance budget and luxury without sacrificing impact.

Client Testimonials: Fit-Outs That Exceed Expectations

My Board could not have been more pleased working with Design Alternatives. They are extremely professional. They are responsive to any questions or concerns that may arise during the process and they are able to adjust quickly if needed. The contractors they work with are excellent at what they do. We had our 25,000 square foot clubhouse completely redesigned and in a community of 811 homes I did not have one person complain about the process or the results! You have made an excellent choice and as a Manager, you will be pleased with their work ethic. Good luck!
