    Upgrading your kitchen is critical for efficiency, safety, and compliance. We handle installation of new equipment foundations, plumbing, electrical systems, and ventilation while meeting all health and safety regulations.

Why Open Remodels Matter for Restaurants

Renovating a restaurant traditionally comes with the risk of closing doors and losing income. Open remodels provide a competitive advantage by allowing:

  • Continuous revenue generation during construction
  • Maintaining loyal customer relationships without interruption
  • Limiting the operational impact on staff and service quality
  • Gradual implementation of upgrades or expansions with flexible scheduling


Big Rock Construction’s expertise in this approach minimizes downtime, reduces stress, and delivers exceptional results without sacrificing your business’s vitality.
