Commercial tenant improvements across California: the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego and Sacramento
Restaurant Build-Outs in California
Kitchens, dining rooms, bars and patios built through building, fire and county environmental health review.
Every system in one space
Restaurants combine plumbing, gas, heavy electrical, hoods and makeup air, fire suppression, refrigeration and cleanable finishes.
- Kitchen equipment coordination
- Type I hoods and makeup air
- Grease interceptors
- Walk-in coolers
- Dining rooms, bars and patios
Environmental health review
Food facilities need plan approval from the county environmental health department, or the city health department in cities such as Pasadena, Long Beach and Berkeley. We coordinate those plans with the building permit.
Second-generation kitchens
A former restaurant can save a lot if its hood, interceptor and walk-in fit your concept. We inspect them before you sign.
