Restaurant build-outs marry kitchen engineering with dining room craft: hood exhaust, make-up air, grease separation, walk-in refrigeration, and health department logic that cannot be improvised in the last week.
Operators in Austin need a builder who reads kitchen MEP like a chef reads a prep list. We coordinate equipment cut sheets, concrete pads, gas and electrical loads, and exhaust risers before walls close, because moving a hood post-drywall is not a change order; it is a crisis.
Kitchen MEP & health logic
Hoods · grease · make-up air
If your menu drives real grease load, your drawings should say so before the interceptor is ordered. We ask those questions before concrete celebrates.
Floors that slope wrong, FOG interceptors undersized for real menus, or exhaust balancing skipped under pressure become stories that outlive the opening Instagram post. We treat commissioning and documentation as part of hospitality, not compliance theater.
We verify slab slopes, floor drains, gas pressure assumptions, and electrical diversity before equipment ships so start-up is not a scavenger hunt.
We sequence welds, wraps, access doors, and fire damper tests with the hood vendor and fire marshal expectations, not generic TI pacing.
We leave labeled shutoffs, clean start-up logs, and punch that respects food safety so your team can focus on recipes, not tripping breakers.
That means protecting floors during equipment rolls, lighting work areas for real prep depth, and refusing cute shortcuts that fail under hot oil and steam.
We treat bar taps, draft lines, and ice machines as infrastructure, not decor afterthoughts. That saves the frantic week before alcohol service training.
Line-to-line equipment, interceptors, and exhaust balancing treated as hospitality infrastructure.
Office build-outs balance human experience with infrastructure reality: lighting quality, acoustic privacy, density of power and data, and code-compliant paths that still feel generous.
Retail build-outs translate brand books into millwork tolerances, lighting CRI, fixture schedules, and opening-week logistics that survive real customers, not just photoshoots.
Bring equipment schedules early, even if brands are still negotiating. We will translate them into a buildable path. (800) 578-4260 or info@hbmconstruction.com.
