Project Description
Following a recent ownership transition at Coconut Marketplace—a 230,430 sq. ft. multi-tenant retail complex in Kapaʻa—the new management company, Beall Corp, faced immediate pressure to comply with stricter utility documentation standards. During a tenant improvement (TI) permit submission, the local water utility flagged insufficient fixture accounting, placing the project at risk of delay.
Scope of Work
Pragmatic PE was retained to provide fixture accounting services for the full property. We conducted a comprehensive on-site survey in close collaboration with Beall Corp and their tenants to establish a reliable fixture baseline. Our team calculated remaining meter capacity and assessed the impact of the proposed TI on utility allocations.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge: Incomplete historical fixture records threatened permit approval.
Solution: We developed a detailed fixture matrix and accompanying site plan that met utility standards, enabling permit issuance and setting a template for future reviews.
Results & Impact
Enabled continued TI progress without delay
Created a future-proof fixture matrix for use in tenant negotiations
Positioned Beall Corp for streamlined compliance in future utility interactions
Secured Pragmatic PE as the retained engineer for ongoing support
