Once you hired a commercial restaurant contractor
after reviewing several bids, all you want is to
start the first phase of the project. Usually,
when you hire a reputed company to finish the
project, you don't have to be involved all the
time, but if you want to, then you can be
involved as much as you like, especially on the
construction schedule.

Hiring an experienced company is beneficial as
they are aware of the best construction practices
for a restaurant project. If you are new in the
business, then it will be a good experience for
you to participate in developing a construction
schedule. Here, we have tried to give you a few
helpful tips for creating a timeline for
restaurant construction.

How much time it takes to complete a restaurant
construction project

• Once the project begins, you can expect it to be
  completed within five to six months. Generally,
  it takes two months for building the space and to
  install all the necessary materials and, if the
  construction goes as per schedule, the work of a
  fast-casual restaurant is typically completed
  within 12 weeks, and the project of a full
  serviced restaurant can be completed within four
  months.

If the prime source of information about
restaurant construction is reality TV shows then
you should know that it is not practical. Even if
your commercial restaurant builder works multiple
shifts in one day, it will take nearly a month to
complete the project.

Here are other factors that will affect the
timeline of the construction project

• Here are other factors that will affect the
  timeline of the construction project
• Site specifications
• Weather conditions
• The size of the planned structure
• Scheduling and communicating with other agencies
• Efficiency, knowledge, and experience of the
  contractor and subcontractors
• The complexity of the design
• Size of the contractors team working on the
  project

However, you should know that the projects begin
even before the first brick is moved. The general
contractors start the permitting process and
order the necessary materials, such as HVAC roof
units, flooring, and lighting. It's your
commercial contractor's duty to perform a site
survey, which includes conducting a building code
review. Once these things are done, the detailed
project schedule should begin.
9
It is also essential to involve a state building
inspector to review your plans. You may have to
make changes in your plans as per the health and
fire code requirements. While you work on your
project, you should keep the local rule book of
constructing a restaurant handy and refer to it
at any time.
10
Delivery of the construction materials also plays
a vital role to complete the construction on
time. Your duty would be to coordinate properly
with all the deliveries and ensure that the
materials are available to the contractors on
time. Even if it has been left unnoticed, your
commercial contractor will remind you.
11
What to expect from your commercial builder

• You must hire a commercial builder carefully, as
  it's their job to manage everything from the
  beginning till the end. Configuration of
  underground gas and drainage lines and managing
  the local health and building department is on
  the contractors. The company you hire should be
  able to begin the work right away and
  simultaneously deal with the local health
  department. The company should keep the local
  health inspector informed about the construction
  plans. If your restaurant passes the inspection,
  then only you can complete your restaurant
  development project on time.

Here, hiring local contractors will benefit you.
An experienced local company must have worked
with local health and building departments in the
past.

• The contractors you hire should be able to get
  permission on time. Several companies cannot
  deliver what they promise, especially when it
  comes to getting permission. Today, rules and
  regulations of the building departments are
  stricter than ever. Inspectors won't think twice
  on cutting corners. It does not extend the finish
  line of your project, but you may have to pay the
  fine and other penalties.

• Another reason for hiring a well-established
  company is cash flow. Most contractors pay
  salaries to their workers and also take care of
  other obligations of the business, like paying
  for the equipment and insurance, on a monthly
  basis. The contractors are only paid once the job
  is done on the terms and conditions agreed upon.
  If they don't have enough cash flow, then your
  project may have to face several hurdles.
  However, builders often change the aspects of the
  project schedule to receive some part of the
  payment to cover their expenses. You should not
  panic, if you face such a situation during the
  construction project, as it shows that your
  contractor is an honest person and if the
  contractor is taking a draw to pay his workers on
  time, then thats a good thing. If the workers
  are happy, they show it in their work. You should
  consider steering away from the contractors who
  overestimate the construction timeline to secure
  the job.

15
Summary

• When you hire a reliable commercial design build
  contractor, you don't have to worry much about
  getting the project of your restaurant
  construction on time. If you want to stay
  involved throughout the project, then you can
  consider being part of the things mentioned
  above.
