North Palm Beach is home to Pajaziti & Associates — our office is on US-1, which is also the primary commercial corridor for restaurant activity in the village. The US-1 stretch from PGA Boulevard north through North Palm Beach connects to some of the most active food-and-beverage real estate in northern Palm Beach County, with strip centers, mixed-use developments, and standalone restaurant pads drawing both independent operators and regional chains.
Restaurant construction is the most technically complex category of commercial build-out. A commercial kitchen requires hood systems, grease traps, dedicated electrical service, floor drains, three-compartment sinks, and health department coordination — none of which a standard commercial TI contractor handles routinely. Pajaziti & Associates has completed restaurant build-outs from fast casual to full-service, and we manage the entire process: design coordination, permitting, health department review, construction, and Certificate of Occupancy.
For restaurant projects in North Palm Beach, our local presence is a direct advantage. We know the Village building department, the inspection sequences, and the commercial buildings along the US-1 corridor. There's no learning curve on this market for us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our construction services in this area.
What does restaurant construction include?
Full restaurant construction includes kitchen build-out (hood and exhaust system, grease trap installation, commercial equipment rough-in, fire suppression), front-of-house framing and finishes, bar construction, ADA-compliant restrooms, HVAC zoning, electrical service for kitchen equipment, and all permits through health department CO and building CO. We coordinate with your kitchen equipment vendor throughout the rough-in phase.
Do you handle health department approvals for restaurants?
Yes. Restaurant construction in Palm Beach County requires both a building permit through the local city or county building department and a food service establishment permit through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) and the Palm Beach County Health Department. We coordinate both permit tracks simultaneously and build to the standards required for health department approval.
How long does restaurant construction take in Palm Beach County?
A restaurant tenant improvement in an existing shell space typically takes 10–16 weeks from permit issuance to Certificate of Occupancy, depending on kitchen complexity and space size. Full-service restaurants with complex kitchen builds and bar construction run toward the longer end. Permitting typically adds 8–12 weeks before construction begins.
Do you build both fast-casual and full-service restaurant concepts?
Yes. We build fast-casual, quick-service, full-service, and bar/lounge concepts throughout Palm Beach County. Each restaurant type has different kitchen infrastructure requirements — hood sizing, grease trap capacity, equipment rough-in layout, and ventilation design — and we coordinate those specifics with your kitchen designer and equipment vendor from the start of the project.
