Frequently Asked Questions for Country Clubs

How long does it take to install a country club kitchen?

The time it takes to install a country club kitchen can vary widely based on several factors, including the size of the kitchen, the complexity of the design, the type of equipment being installed, local regulations and permits, the availability of contractors and skilled labor, and the efficiency of the installation process.

5. Skilled Labor and Contractors: Availability of skilled contractors, electricians, plumbers, and other professionals can influence how quickly the installation can be completed.

6. Project Management: Efficient project management can help keep the installation on track and avoid delays.

Here are some of the major cost considerations:

1. Location: The cost of commercial real estate can vary greatly based on the region, city, and neighborhood where you plan to set up your kitchen.

2. Size and Layout: The overall square footage and layout of the kitchen will impact costs. A larger kitchen will require more equipment, materials, and space planning.

4. Ventilation and Exhaust Systems: Proper ventilation and exhaust systems are crucial for a commercial kitchen to ensure air quality and safety. These systems can be a significant cost factor.

Previous Work – Hillcrest

The Hillcrest project was a reconfiguration of the deli station. We worked closely with our custom millwork fabricator to make sure foodservice codes on sneeze guards were met, equipment under counter and drop-in equipment fit. A challenge was working in the space with existing columns. One column sitting in the middle of our quartz counter top and the other column butting up with the edge of the new deli station.
