Our Concierge Construction Method: How We Get You Open
1. Discovery & Feasibility
Walk-through, MEP capacity checks, code/egress review, and long-lead item risk analysis. You’ll get a prioritized plan that balances speed, cost control, and guest experience.
2. Pre-Construction (Permit-Ready)
We coordinate permit-ready drawings and submittals, align health and fire requirements, and map your phasing plan. For Lehi, we prepare electronic plan submissions via the Building Permit portal and coordinate Fire Prevention checklist items (hood suppression tags, extinguisher locations, alarms) ahead of inspections.
3. Build (Phased for Uptime)
Temporary partitions, clean paths, and quiet-hour work protect guests and staff. Kitchens get special sequencing for hood/start-up, make-up air balancing, and grease interceptor tie-ins. Daily updates; weekly walk-throughs.
4. Turnover, Inspections & Opening
Temporary partitions, clean paths, and quiet-hour work protect guests and staff. Kitchens get special sequencing for hood/start-up, make-up air balancing, and grease interceptor tie-ins. Daily updates; weekly walk-throughs.
5. Post-Opening Support
Fine-tuning, warranty, and seasonal check-ins. We stay available as your space evolves.

Local expertise: Your Lehi path to opening
- Permits & plan review (Lehi): Electronic submittals via the Building Permit portal; track corrections and resubmittals digitally.
- Fire Prevention: Expect checks like hood suppression tags, fire extinguisher placement, alarm functionality, clear exits, and Knox Box keys. We prep these ahead of inspections.
- Health Department (Utah County): Submit a Food Establishment Plan Review before construction; health will inspect prior to permit issuance / operation. We sequence this with the build to prevent delays.
- Alcohol (if applicable): Utah DABS licenses have monthly commission deadlines; aligning your application with construction milestones keeps the schedule tight.
- Business licensing (Lehi): Coordinate Planning approval and license issuance with final inspections—avoid last-minute surprises.
Opening in Thanksgiving Point, Traverse Mountain, or along the Silicon Slopes corridor? We plan around area event calendars, parking/egress needs, and peak-hour quiet windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does permitting take in Lehi?
Lehi uses an electronic plan submittal and correction process. Timelines vary with scope and response times, but digital reviews reduce hand-offs; we front-load submittals to minimize cycles.
Do I submit to the Health Department before or after my building permit?
For restaurants, submit a Food Establishment Plan Review early; health will review plans and inspect prior to operation. We sequence health review with your building permit to keep the critical path clean
What about beer/wine or cocktails?
DABS applications hit the commission by the 10th each month; we align your construction milestones with that cadence and gather local consent items on time.
Can we stay open during renovation?
Often, yes. We propose night/weekend phases, temporary partitions, and clear egress routes; kitchens may require short shutdown windows for tie-ins and commissioning (planned in advance).
How do you keep budgets predictable?
Open-book allowances, early procurement for long-lead items, and decision gates inside our Concierge Construction Method—so you approve changes before they impact cost/schedule.
Do you work with franchise brand standards?
Yes. We run submittals, mock-ups, and first-article approvals against the brand book to lock finishes and QC early.
