Questions
Do you work with restaurant equipment suppliers?
Yes. We coordinate directly with your equipment supplier to confirm circuit requirements, amperage, and voltage for every piece of kitchen equipment.
What is your experience with health department compliance?
We have completed dozens of commercial kitchen electrical projects in Orange County and are familiar with the specific GFCI, circuit labeling, and separation requirements for food service operations.
Can you handle retail lighting design and installation?
Absolutely. We work with retail lighting consultants and designers to deliver track lighting, accent LED, and dimming systems that showcase product effectively.
What is your typical lead time for a restaurant build-out?
We can typically mobilize within 1–2 weeks of contract signing. Timeline to completion depends on TI scope, permit timeline, and equipment lead times.
