This ground-up restaurant construction project delivered a standard McDonald's prototype complete with drive-thru, dining room, and full commercial kitchen. The new build was completed on schedule and turned over to the client as planned.
Early in the build, our team discovered that the original masonry installation (the decorative stone exterior) didn't meet our quality standards. Rather than work around it, we made the call to fully remove and reinstall the stone with a new contractor. It added complexity, but the end result exceeded expectations without pushing back the turnover date.
The project also came with a municipality that was highly engaged from day one, closely monitoring the work as construction got underway. Through consistent communication and transparency, what started as a cautious relationship turned into a genuine partnership. By the end of the project, our team had built strong, lasting connections with city representatives, a reminder that early challenges, handled well, can lead to the best long-term outcomes.
