01 — What we deliver

Restaurant construction, to open day.

Restaurant projects are health department reviews, hood system coordination, grease trap permits, and mechanical scope that's more complex than most office TI — wrapped around an immovable opening date.

We deliver restaurant construction across full-service restaurants, quick-serve and fast-casual brands, bar-restaurants and cocktail concepts, coffee and café buildouts, and specialty food service including ghost kitchens and food hall buildouts.

Restaurant permit paths are harder than most TI work. Health department plan review, grease trap permits, hood exhaust and makeup air calculations, and fire suppression system coordination all run in parallel to the building permit review. We map the dependencies during preconstruction so the schedule reflects reality.

Franchisee buildouts have specific dynamics. Corporate spec packages, franchisee contractor approvals, and territory-specific vendor requirements all apply. We've delivered franchisee work for multiple national brands and know where corporate spec packages interpret ambiguously.

02 — Why us

Built for this scope.

Six things restaurant clients consistently raise during preconstruction — and how we address each one.

01

Hood & Mechanical Expertise

Kitchen hood exhaust, makeup air, grease filtration, and fire suppression system coordination is restaurant-critical scope. We handle it as core capability, not specialty scope outsourced to a sub.

02

Health Department

Plan review coordination with municipal and county health departments. Grease trap permits, washdown floor requirements, and food service finish specs managed during preconstruction.

03

Franchisee Capability

Corporate brand spec packages, franchisee contractor approval paths, and brand-specific vendor requirements handled for multiple national brands.

04

Self-Perform Electrical

Kitchen equipment circuits, hood controls, walk-in refrigeration power, and front-of-house lighting are our in-house electrical crew's scope.

05

Opening Day Discipline

Schedules built backward from soft opening. Inspections, staff training, and FF&E installation sequenced before doors open.

06

Multi-Site Rollouts

For brands rolling out locations across Texas, consistent delivery standards and timeline discipline across Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio.

03 — FAQ

Common questions.

For anything specific, call (832) 548-0660 or send the scope. One business day response.

Do you work on both full-service and QSR?
Yes. Full-service restaurants, quick-serve buildouts, fast-casual brands, bar-restaurants, and specialty food service (coffee, bakeries, ghost kitchens) are all within our restaurant practice.
How do you handle health department permitting?
Health department plan review runs parallel to building permit review in most Texas jurisdictions. We submit coordinated packages during preconstruction to avoid sequential review delays.
Can you deliver on a franchisee buildout?
Yes. Franchisee work for multiple national brands within our portfolio. We know the corporate spec package requirements and franchisee contractor approval processes.
What about grease interceptor and hood permits?
Standard scope. Grease trap sizing calculations, permit submittals, hood exhaust CFM sizing, and makeup air coordination — all managed during preconstruction.
How long does a restaurant buildout take?
QSR buildouts typically run 10-16 weeks. Full-service restaurants run 14-24 weeks depending on scope. Permit timeline and hood/equipment lead times usually drive critical path.
Do you handle kitchen equipment installation?
Kitchen equipment is typically owner-direct procurement. We coordinate equipment delivery, rough-in, utility connections, and installation scheduling so equipment startup aligns with opening day.
Restaurant project?

Let's get to opening.

Restaurant construction runs on opening day. Send us the concept, the location, and the target — we'll build backward from first service.
