How we build
Built for Business in
Washington DC.
From restaurant and retail build-outs to franchise locations and tenant improvements, CCOA brings experienced project management, trusted trade partners, and attention to detail to commercial construction in Washington DC.
We manage projects from pre-construction and permitting through construction, inspections, and final turnover.
Commercial Construction Across the District.
Washington, DC is home to a wide range of commercial environments, from downtown office and retail districts to neighborhood corridors filled with restaurants, cafés, shops, and mixed-use properties. The District includes dozens of distinct commercial corridors and business districts, each with its own building conditions, property requirements, and development patterns.
For businesses opening or renovating a space in DC, construction can involve navigating existing buildings, landlord requirements, zoning, permitting, inspections, Certificates of Occupancy, and the logistical challenges of working in a dense urban environment.
CCOA helps manage those complexities from pre-construction through final turnover. Our team coordinates trades, building systems, finishes, permitting, inspections, and property-specific requirements to keep Washington, DC commercial projects organized and moving forward.

Working with Katie and the Capital Construction of America team on our Paris Baguette locations in Germantown and Owings Mills was an outstanding experience. Restaurant construction involves many moving parts, from coordinating multiple trades and managing schedules to meeting brand standards and addressing unexpected challenges. Katie and her team handled these complexities with professionalism, efficiency, and exceptional attention to detail.
