Full-service Persian restaurant renovation with charcoal kabob grills and a tandoor.
Yonge Street corridor, Richmond Hill.
Mid-size full-service restaurant, roughly 3,500 to 4,500 square feet, covering open kitchen, dining room, bar, and front-of-house refresh.
General contractor on a build driven by heavy ventilation. Pre-construction site walk, trade coordination across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, gas-fitting, fire suppression, refrigeration, and millwork, ongoing engineer and landlord liaison, and final inspection coordination with the local building, mechanical, and gas inspectors. The architect and the mechanical engineer led the permit drawings; Buildup ran the construction and inspection sequence.
The kabob grills and the tandoor each needed dedicated ventilation and combustion air. Sizing the Type I exhaust hood, the tempered makeup air system, and the rooftop fan around the existing landlord roof structure took several iterations with the engineer. The open-kitchen reveal also meant finishes and exhaust had to be coordinated as one visible assembly rather than hidden behind a wall.
Eleven-week construction window, sequenced to land mechanical equipment first and finishes last so the open kitchen could be detailed without rework.
Delivered a fully operational restaurant in eleven weeks. The custom hood and tandoor combustion ventilation were balanced and signed off, the open kitchen was detailed cleanly behind the dining reveal, and the bar and front-of-house refresh were completed in time for the operator's opening.
