Commercial Design & Engineering Services

Commercial projects start with clear, buildable plans. At Platypus Design and Construction, we specialize in architectural design, drafting, tenant improvement planning, civil engineering, and structural engineering for commercial projects across Utah.

We bring these services together under one roof to create a more efficient and coordinated path from concept to construction. Instead of working with separate designers, engineers, and consultants, our clients benefit from one team that understands how to turn ideas into practical, construction-ready plans.

Our Commercial Design & Engineering Services

We focus on delivering precise, coordinated plans that support real-world construction and long-term performance.

Architectural Design

Our architectural design services focus on creating functional, efficient commercial spaces tailored to your business needs. We develop layouts and concepts that align with how the space will actually be used while meeting local requirements and project goals.

Drafting

Accurate drafting is essential for turning ideas into buildable plans. We produce detailed construction drawings that support permitting, pricing, and execution.

Our drafting services include:

  • Construction drawings
  • Build-out documentation
  • Renovation and remodel plans

Every set of drawings is developed with clarity and coordination in mind to reduce confusion during construction.

Tenant Improvement Design

We design tenant improvement projects that transform commercial spaces for new or existing occupants. Whether you are preparing a shell space or updating an existing suite, we create plans that reflect real operational needs.

Our tenant improvement design services help:

  • Optimize layout and functionality
  • Ensure code compliance
  • Support efficient build-outs
  • Prepare spaces for occupancy

Structural Engineering

Our in-house structural engineering ensures your project is designed for safety, stability, and long-term durability. By integrating engineering directly into the design process, we eliminate common disconnects between plans and real-world construction.

Civil Engineering

We provide civil engineering support for site-related planning and development. This includes coordinating site conditions and infrastructure considerations so your project is prepared for construction from the ground up.

A Smarter, Integrated Approach

Commercial projects often become complicated when design and engineering are handled separately. Our approach simplifies the process by combining architectural design, drafting, and engineering into one coordinated workflow.

Working with Platypus Design and Construction means:

  • Better alignment between design and engineering
  • Faster revisions and decision-making
  • Reduced miscommunication between teams
  • Plans that are practical to build

This integrated model helps move projects forward more efficiently while reducing costly delays.

Built for Real-World Construction

Design and drafting should do more than look good—they should support a project that can actually be built. Our team approaches every project with a construction mindset, ensuring that plans are not only accurate but also practical for execution.

Because we understand both engineering and construction, we can:

  • Identify potential issues early
  • Improve buildability
  • Support smoother project transitions into construction

Commercial Projects We Support

Our design and drafting services support a wide range of commercial applications, including:

  • Office spaces
  • Retail locations
  • Restaurants and service businesses
  • Medical and professional offices
  • Commercial remodels and renovations

No matter the project type, we focus on creating clear, coordinated plans that move your project forward.

What Our Clients Say

Real Projects. Real People.
Real Results.

We let our work — and our clients — speak for us. Here's what homeowners and business owners have to say about working with Platypus Design & Construction.

"I am more than satisfied with the excellent work Platypus Design and Construction recently did for us. After a windstorm blew down a portion of our vinyl fence, he not only repaired the fence but saw what needed to be done to secure it so it would withstand future storms. He performed the work quickly, efficiently, and skillfully. The result was excellent and the cost was reasonable. We also appreciate the clarity and friendliness of all his communications and interactions with us. Overall, he did a superb job, even exceeding our expectations."
Bruce Y. Fence Repair
"McKay and his team have done multiple TI buildout projects for me and my Scenthound locations. They have been great to work with through everything to help me get a mix of great pricing, service, and overall product delivery. They are honest with their work and will ensure they take care of you as their client. Further, being able to use them for both design drawing, engineering, and the project buildout and management has saved me tens of thousands of dollars and weeks of time during my buildouts to have it all done with them in house. Platypus will continue to be my go-to for all my future commercial construction needs."
Spencer S. Commercial Build-Out
"We had an outstanding experience working with McKay Harper and Platypus Construction on a garage addition and a custom pergola over our patio. From the beginning, McKay demonstrated a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail - he was able to match the existing architecture of our home seamlessly, to the point that the addition looks like it has always been there. It was a unique design challenge, and McKay used thoughtful engineering to create a beautiful freestanding structure that feels both solid and elegant. His pricing was very fair, and we would give McKay and Platypus Construction our highest recommendation and would absolutely work with him again."
