Restaurant Construction

Hood Builder delivers turnkey restaurant construction — from permit to punch list. Our team of electrical, mechanical, structural, and fire protection experts all work under one roof, eliminating the coordination headaches that come with managing multiple contractors. Construction phases we manage:

  • Pre-construction — site evaluation, building analysis (wiring, plumbing, foundation), location assessment, drawings, and permit acquisition.
  • Design-build— full architectural and interior design integrated with construction management
  • Construction management— we run the site, manage all trades, and keep you updated at every milestone
  • Signage & landscaping — exterior finishes handled to match your brand
  • Punch list & handover — we don't leave until the job is done right

We've built restaurants for Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Applebee's, Burger King, and Subway. Our process is proven, and our reputation in Denver speaks for itself.

  • Schedule work around your hours to minimize downtime
