Overview
What restaurant buildout looks like with CRG.
Food service is the most permit-intensive buildout type we deliver. Grease interceptors, Type I hoods, make-up air, floor drains, and health-department finishes all have to be right the first time or the opening slips. Our restaurant team coordinates kitchen equipment vendors, mechanical contractors, and the health authority from preconstruction through final inspection.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Do you handle hood, grease, and health-department requirements?
Yes. Type I hoods, make-up air, grease interceptors, floor drains, and health-department finish schedules are coordinated in preconstruction and verified before final inspection.
Is a second-generation restaurant space faster to build?
Usually. Reusing existing grease, hood, and utility infrastructure can cut weeks off the schedule — we assess what is reusable during the site survey.
