DCFM builds restaurant and food service construction projects across LA County and the Inland Empire, managing health department plan check, Type I hood systems, equipment coordination, and MEP scoping under one accountable team.
Most GCs treat health department plan check as a post-permit task. We submit to the building department and the county health department on the same day. Most GCs underbid restaurant MEP because they’ve never scoped a Type I hood system or sized a grease interceptor. We do it in preconstruction, before the contract is signed.
Real cost plans and documented schedules built before construction begins, with MEP scoping and equipment coordination included from the start.
Turnkey restaurant construction managed from site prep through certificate of occupancy under one accountable team.
Design and construction under a single contract, with health department coordination and MEP planning running alongside design from day one.
Restaurant build-outs and renovations within existing leased spaces, with health department plan check, grease interceptor coordination, and California ADA compliance managed as part of scope.
Owner’s representation and construction management for restaurant clients who need an experienced food service team handling oversight, subcontractor coordination, and permit sequencing on their behalf.
DCFM builds to corporate construction specs, approved equipment lists, and franchisor inspection requirements from the first preconstruction meeting. For franchisees with opening timelines tied to franchise agreements, schedule performance and brand spec compliance are built into how we manage every phase of the project across LA County and the Inland Empire.
For first-time operators and independent concepts, DCFM provides the food service expertise and single point of contact that independent owners rely on. We manage health department plan check, equipment coordination, and MEP scoping so you are not navigating California’s food service permitting process without a guide.
For developers building food halls, mixed-use projects with restaurant tenants, or repositioning retail centers with food and beverage components, DCFM manages restaurant build-outs with full awareness of landlord coordination requirements, shared utility penetrations, and the construction sequencing demands of food service in occupied buildings across LA County and the Inland Empire.
Restaurant MEP is where GC estimates most often go wrong. DCFM’s preconstruction process scopes the full MEP package before the contract is issued so there are no change orders after construction begins for work that should have been priced from the start.
