3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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. How much time it takes to complete a restaurant construction project:

6. 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.

7. 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 contractor’s team working on the project Here are other factors that will affect the timeline of the construction project:

8. 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. 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. What to expect from your commercial builder:

12. 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.

14. 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 that’s 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.
