Restaurant Work Boca Raton Owners Can Check
Boca Raton sits between our two counties, and the restaurants we point Boca owners to are close by. In Palm Beach County, our team built out the Texas de Brazil on PGA Boulevard in Palm Beach Gardens as a tenant improvement and later renovated it. We built out BKK’s restaurant space in Fort Lauderdale and got them open. Both restaurants are open to the public, so you can walk in and see the work.
What That Means for a Boca Raton Build-Out
Those projects went through the same steps a Boca restaurant does: a landlord with tenant rules, permit drawings, inspections, health requirements for a commercial kitchen and a firm opening date. Boca spaces on Glades Road, Federal Highway and around Mizner Park often come up as second-generation restaurants with a hood, grease trap or walk-in already in place. We walk the space with you before you sign and tell you plainly what can stay and what has to change.

How a Boca Raton restaurant build-out runs
- Walk the space with you before you sign the lease and tell you what can be reused.
- Review your plans, or start design-build if you are still designing.
- Written scope, price and schedule.
- Permits: for a space inside city limits, we submit through Boca eHub, the City of Boca Raton’s online permitting system. Restaurant work usually means separate trade applications as well, such as interior alteration, exhaust and grease hood, plumbing, gas, fire sprinkler and fire alarm.
- Construction, with regular updates from one point of contact.
- Inspections, the punch list and opening day.

Opening your next location, or building out a franchise unit to brand standards? We work from your plans and coordinate with your landlord and architect.
Second-generation space vs. a fresh shell
Many Boca Raton restaurant spaces come up as second-generation space: a former restaurant with a hood, grease trap or walk-in already in place. That can save time, but only if the existing equipment and rough-in fit your concept and pass inspection. Before you sign, we can walk the space with you and tell you plainly what can stay, what needs work and what has to be replaced. If you’re starting from an empty shell, we plan the kitchen, bar, dining room, restrooms and utility rough-in from the beginning.
What we handle
- Restaurant build-outs: kitchens, bars, dining rooms, restrooms and back-of-house, including hoods, grease traps and walk-ins.
- Restaurant remodels: refreshing a dining room or bar, or reworking back-of-house in an existing restaurant.
- Retail build-outs and tenant improvements: interior work for shops and shopping-center tenants.
- Design-build or plans in hand: if you’re still designing, we can work design-build. If your architect’s plans are done, we start with pre-construction and general contracting.
- Kitchen systems: hoods, fire suppression, grease traps, walk-ins, plumbing, gas and electrical for your equipment.
- Changing a space to a restaurant: when a plaza space was a different use, we scope the grease, hood, plumbing and fire work before you commit.

Working with your landlord and the city
Shopping-center and mixed-use landlords usually have their own tenant rules and approval steps. We coordinate with your landlord, your architect and our trades so the job runs through one point of contact. We handle the permit and inspection process with the jurisdiction that covers your space, whether that’s the City of Boca Raton or Palm Beach County, along with the health requirements a commercial kitchen has to meet.

Who issues building permits for a restaurant in Boca Raton?
For a space inside city limits, permits are applied for through Boca eHub, the City of Boca Raton’s online permitting system, which is also where inspections are requested. Fire and health review apply to restaurant kitchens. We prepare and track the submittals.
Can you build out a restaurant in a Boca Raton plaza that was a different use before?
Yes. A space changing to a restaurant usually needs new grease, hood, plumbing and fire work, and a longer permit review than a second-generation restaurant. We check the space with you before you sign the lease, so the budget and schedule are realistic.
Do plazas in Boca Raton have their own rules?
Many do. Landlords often require their own drawing approval, insurance certificates and set work hours. We coordinate those from the start so they don’t hold up the permit.
