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.
