Commercial Kitchen Contractors in Toronto.
Your kitchen needs to work as hard as your team. We design and build commercial kitchens that meet Toronto's health, safety, and fire code requirements, built for the efficiency and durability a full-service operation demands.
What that covers:
- Kitchen installation as part of a turnkey build, from design coordination through final inspection.
- Mechanical, electrical and plumbing design and installation, with HVAC installation by a certified team.
- Health inspection standards, fire safety codes and building permits, managed on your behalf.
A commercial kitchen is among the most cost-intensive elements of a restaurant project, often 40 to 50 percent of the total construction budget, so it is scoped and priced line by line in your quote.
Kitchen builds can add time to a schedule, depending on equipment specifications and inspection requirements. We factor that into your project schedule.
