Built Around the Kitchen

Restaurants have infrastructure most buildings don’t: hood and make-up air systems, grease interceptors, floor drains, heavy electrical and gas loads, walk-in coolers and health-code finishes. We coordinate these trades and inspections so your health department and fire inspections go smoothly.

Drive-Thru Site Work, Done In-House

Drive-thru stacking lanes, curbing, menu-board foundations, grease interceptor installation, storm water and parking all fall to our site development division — no handoff between a site contractor and a building contractor.

Opening Day Matters

We schedule backward from your opening date, order long-lead equipment early, and keep franchise representatives informed with progress updates.

We build restaurants throughout Oakland County, Macomb County, Genesee County and Southeast Michigan. Request a restaurant construction bid.
