Renovation of bar and restaurant areas with new carpet, furniture, and updated finishes throughout the food and beverage spaces.
Hotel Construction Services (HCS) provides restaurant construction and renovation services for restaurant owners, operators, and hospitality groups throughout the Northeast. Our restaurant experience comes primarily from food and beverage projects within hotel properties, where we have built and renovated bars, restaurants, breakfast areas, and banquet spaces as part of larger hospitality renovations. We apply this experience to standalone restaurant projects for clients who need a contractor familiar with commercial kitchen requirements, health code compliance, and the operational demands of food service environments.
We serve restaurant owners and operators in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.
HCS provides construction and renovation services for restaurants at various scales.
We update existing restaurants with new layouts, finishes, and equipment. Renovation work includes dining rooms, bars, kitchens, and outdoor seating areas.
We complete tenant build-outs for new restaurant spaces. Work includes kitchen construction, dining room finishes, bar installations, and all required mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
We build back-of-house areas including cooking lines, prep stations, dishwashing areas, and storage. Our team coordinates with equipment vendors and installs ventilation, plumbing, and electrical systems to support kitchen operations.
We build bars including countertops, back bars, beverage systems, refrigeration, and seating areas. Bar construction includes proper drainage, electrical connections, and code compliance for liquor service.
We construct patios, decks, pergolas, and covered outdoor seating. Outdoor dining expands capacity and creates additional revenue opportunities for restaurant operators.
Our Restaurant Experience
Most of our restaurant construction experience comes from hotel food and beverage projects. We have renovated hotel restaurants, bars, breakfast areas, and lounge spaces as part of property-wide renovations for brands including Marriott, Hilton, and IHG.
This hotel F&B experience translates directly to standalone restaurant projects. We know commercial kitchen layouts, ventilation requirements, health department expectations, and how to schedule work to minimize time a restaurant stays closed.

Restaurant and bar renovation as part of a full property update with new finishes and furniture in food and beverage outlets.

Commercial Kitchen Construction
Restaurant kitchens require systems and infrastructure that general contractors often underestimate. HCS brings experience from hotel kitchen projects to commercial kitchen construction.
Ventilation Systems Kitchen exhaust hoods, makeup air systems, and ductwork sized for cooking equipment. Proper ventilation meets code requirements and maintains air quality during service.
Fire Suppression Kitchen fire suppression systems including hood-mounted systems and connections to building fire alarms. We install systems that meet fire code and insurance requirements.
Plumbing & Drainage Grease traps, floor drains, hand sinks, and three-compartment sinks positioned for workflow and code compliance. Commercial kitchen plumbing differs from standard commercial construction.
Electrical Systems Service capacity for commercial cooking equipment, refrigeration, and lighting. Many commercial kitchens require electrical upgrades beyond standard building service.
Equipment Coordination We coordinate with equipment vendors on selection, delivery timing, and utility connections. Proper coordination prevents delays when equipment arrives on site.
HCS works with restaurants across food service categories.
Our experience is strongest in hotel food and beverage environments and casual dining concepts. We are direct with clients about project types that fall outside our core experience.
Restaurant construction involves permits and inspections from multiple agencies. Building departments, health departments, and fire marshals all review restaurant projects.
HCS coordinates permit applications and inspections throughout construction. Our experience with food service projects helps us anticipate requirements and avoid delays from failed inspections.
Requirements vary by municipality and project type. We work with local authorities to confirm current requirements for each project.
