Can you work from an architect’s drawing?

Yes, and we prefer to start from one. We will verify it against a site survey, because as-built dimensions and drawn dimensions rarely agree exactly.

How long does the design stage take?

A restaurant typically takes one to two weeks from survey to approved GA; a hotel or institutional kitchen takes longer because of the coordination rounds with other consultants.

Service

Commercial Kitchen Layout Design

Most kitchens that fail operationally were lost at the layout stage. We plan the equipment against the menu, the cover count and the actual shape of the room — including the columns, the beam soffits and the door swings that a generic layout ignores — and we mark every utility point before a single item is fabricated.

How it works

The process

Each stage produces something you can review before the next one begins — which is what keeps surprises off the site.

Brief and site survey
We record the room as built: dimensions, columns, beam heights, existing utility positions, door and lift apertures. We take your menu, cover count and shift pattern as the design inputs.
Workflow zoning
Receiving, storage, preparation, cooking, plating, wash-up and waste are zoned so material moves in one direction and soiled routes never cross clean ones.
General arrangement drawing
A scaled GA showing every item in position with clearances, working aisles and access routes. This is where changes are cheap, so we expect a round or two of comment.
Utility and services drawing
Gas points with load, electrical points with rating and phase, water inlets, drainage falls, trap positions and exhaust routing — issued to your MEP contractor as a coordinated set.
Fabrication drawings
Once the GA is approved, each fabricated item is detailed for manufacture with confirmed dimensions and finishes.
Site coordination
We stay involved through civil and MEP execution so that what gets built matches what was drawn, and we resolve clashes before equipment arrives.

Why it matters

What you get out of it

Bottlenecks found on paper

The queue at the pass, the aisle that is 200 mm too narrow, the door that fouls the range — these cost nothing to fix on a drawing and a great deal to fix after tiling.
