HELENA, Mont. — Local businesses often face a major hurdle when moving into new developments: while the building shell may be complete, the interiors are frequently left unfinished. That was the case for Beem Light Sauna, a wellness company looking to create a one-of-a-kind customer experience in its new location. To bridge the gap, the company partnered with Casco Construction, a Montana-based firm known for its expertise in Tenant Improvements (TI).
The project began with what’s called a “core-and-shell” space, where only the exterior walls and structure were complete. From there, Casco Construction was tasked with designing and building out an interior that would meet Beem’s specialized needs. Unlike many businesses that can adapt to a more standard layout, Beem required highly customizable interiors to accommodate eight individual sauna rooms available for customer bookings.
Owner Rick Isaac said working with Casco made the process seamless. “The best part about it was probably that there were no surprises. They were very upfront, they communicated things as we went along,” Isaac shared. That level of transparency and collaboration helped the project progress smoothly, giving Beem confidence as it prepared to welcome customers.
The construction company’s focus on clear communication and customer-driven solutions proved especially valuable in this project. Each sauna room required attention to detail — from layout and privacy considerations to integrating building systems that could support multiple units operating simultaneously. Casco’s team worked closely with Beem to ensure the finished product aligned with both operational efficiency and guest comfort.
Tenant Improvements like this are becoming increasingly important as businesses across Montana and beyond look for customizable, move-in ready spaces. While the core-and-shell model offers flexibility, it also demands a builder that can translate a company’s unique vision into a functional design. Casco’s experience across commercial interiors made them well-suited for the job.
For Beem Light Sauna, the result is a space that reflects its mission: creating a relaxing, wellness-focused environment where customers can recharge. For Casco Construction, the project highlights how local contractors can help small businesses succeed by tailoring interiors to their brand identity and operational needs.
With wellness services and boutique health spaces on the rise, Casco’s successful collaboration with Beem Light Sauna underscores its reputation as a trusted partner for businesses investing in customized spaces that go beyond cookie-cutter designs.
