Restaurant build-outs — kitchens, hoods, and health-code-ready.

A restaurant is the most demanding commercial build-out there is: hoods, grease interceptors, health-code finishes, ADA, and a kitchen that has to actually work under service. We build it to pass and to perform.

Is this you?

You're opening a restaurant, café, or bar and you have a shell or a second-generation space. You need a commercial kitchen built right — hood and fire suppression, grease interceptor, proper finishes — plus a front of house that flows and an inspection you'll actually pass.

This fits if you want to:

How it works

  1. Consultation — we review the space, the menu's kitchen needs, and the lease.
  2. Design + selections — kitchen, hood, plumbing, front-of-house, and finishes.
  3. Permits — building plus health-department review and the trades.
  4. Build — kitchen systems, finishes, restrooms, and front of house.
  5. Closeout — building and health inspections, sign-off, ready to open.
The kitchen drives everything. Hood sizing, make-up air, grease waste, and gas or power capacity set what menu you can run and where everything goes. We design from the kitchen and health requirements outward, so the build passes review and the line works under a full rush.

Seattle & King County notes

Restaurant build-outs need building permits, health-department plan review, and a sequence of inspections across King County, plus ADA access and restrooms. Hood and grease systems are heavily regulated. We coordinate building and health requirements together so they don't collide late.

Common questions

Yes — hood, fire suppression, make-up air, and grease interceptor are central to a restaurant build-out and to passing health review.
