Food Service Facility Design
Design & Engineering
Our Design and Engineering Department staff are experienced foodservice design specialists with a variety of industry backgrounds. While our focus is on kitchens, lounges, and servery areas, we can readily assist with dining room seating layouts and foodservice related millwork design.
We service all segments of the foodservice marketplace with a particular emphasis on the lodging, healthcare, educational, and restaurant markets.
We utilize an industry specific computer aided drafting (CAD) system and computer estimating/specification writing system to ensure accuracy and consistency.
Our specialty is in design-build applications where a “hands-on” approach with our clients enhances our ability to create a comprehensive foodservice design package that is functional, efficient, and most importantly, cost effective.
We work closely with owners, architects, engineers, construction managers, and general contractors to be sure that all aspects of a project are coordinated together into one accurate and cohesive design.
We would appreciate the opportunity to work with you, whether your project is a small renovation or a large new facility. We are confident that we will exceed your expectations.

C. The process of preliminary design submittals will be repeated until an approved preliminary design is achieved.
