Fort Lauderdale Proof: BKK

We built out BKK’s restaurant space in Fort Lauderdale and got them open. It is the job we point Fort Lauderdale owners to first, because it shows the work a Broward restaurant owner actually needs: building out a restaurant space for a new concept and getting it through the city’s permit and inspection steps to opening.

More Restaurant Work in Broward and Nearby

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. See all of our restaurant build-outs, or our West Palm Beach restaurant construction page.

Restaurant Build-Outs in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale restaurant spaces turn over often, from Las Olas and downtown to plazas along Federal Highway and Commercial Boulevard. Many are second-generation spaces with a hood, grease trap or walk-in already in place. That can save time and money, but only if the equipment fits your concept and passes inspection. We walk the space with you before you sign and tell you plainly what can stay and what has to change. In a shell space, we plan the kitchen, bar, dining room, restrooms and utility rough-in from the start.

Restaurant Remodels

For restaurants already open, we update dining rooms, bars and back-of-house, and we plan phases with you so the remodel fits your business. Work is scheduled during regular working hours.

Retail Build-Outs in Fort Lauderdale

We also build out retail stores and shopping-center spaces in Fort Lauderdale and Broward: framing, electrical and lighting, restrooms, HVAC, ceilings, flooring and storefront finishes. See our retail build-outs page and our tenant improvements page.
