The restaurant business is booming and has been for some years now. According to the National Restaurant Association, the industry is projected to garner $997 billion this year. It is also projected that 500,000 new jobs will become available within the industry.

Because the restaurant industry provides a livelihood for both the owner and its employees, many entrepreneurs opt to enter the industry. For entrepreneurs who jump feet first into the restaurant business, it is paramount to have a building that will be functional for the operation while also attracting new customers.

While the restaurant business can generate profits, staying in the black can be difficult when the owner first opens the doors. That’s why having a strict budget is vital. But how do you build an excellent, functional building without offering up a nice chunk of change? Selecting a value engineering firm is a great starting point. As a value engineering firm, our experts at Leon Williams Contractors provides clients with the advice they need to make informed construction decisions without breaking the bank.

Here are a couple of ways our experts can help you and your restaurant construction project.

Aligning with your goals and budget

Seeing eye-to-eye with the client is something we do best. Our experts understand how important it is to stay on budget while also aligning with the overall goals of the project. Part of that process is utilizing alternative material options that provide similar value but at a lower cost. As value engineering experts, we will provide an honest evaluation of the value, quality and life expectancy of every building alternative or solution we recommend.

Protecting your investment

Our experts understand that the construction of a facility requires a significant amount of time, and we want to be respectful of that time. While we are a value engineering firm, we also utilize the design-build project model. With the design team and construction team under the same contract, there is a single point of responsibility. All team members are working toward a common goal, which increases teamwork and results in fewer changes and claims. This helps keep the project on budget and schedule without the need for costly change orders.
