Restaurant construction costs typically range from $250 to $500 or more per square foot depending on the type of restaurant and level of finish. Quick service restaurants may be on the lower end, while full service restaurants with bars, custom finishes, and extensive kitchen equipment will be higher. Commercial kitchen build outs are typically the most expensive component due to specialized equipment, ventilation, and plumbing requirements. We provide detailed estimates based on your specific concept and requirements.
Restaurant construction timelines vary by project type. A typical restaurant build out in existing shell space takes 3 to 5 months depending on the scope of work and complexity of the kitchen. Ground up restaurant construction may take 6 to 10 months. Fast casual or quick service restaurants with simpler kitchens may be completed more quickly. We provide detailed schedules during planning and work to meet your target opening date.
We coordinate with kitchen equipment suppliers and handle all utility connections, ventilation, and infrastructure required for commercial kitchen equipment. While restaurant owners typically purchase equipment through specialized suppliers, we ensure your space is properly prepared with adequate electrical, gas, water, drainage, and exhaust systems to support all equipment requirements. We coordinate delivery and installation timing with your equipment suppliers.
We build restaurants to meet all Georgia and Florida health department requirements including proper kitchen layout and workflow, commercial grade finishes, adequate handwashing stations, grease trap installation, proper ventilation and exhaust systems, food safe surfaces, and required plumbing fixtures.
