BUILD IT delivers hospitality construction that balances brand experience with day-to-day operations. From restaurants and food halls to hotels, motels, and golf clubs, our in-house teams coordinate design, trades, millwork, and project management so you get one point of contact, predictable costs, and a smooth path from permits to opening day.
What is hospitality construction?
Hospitality construction focuses on guest-facing environments where experience and operational efficiency must work together. It requires careful coordination of front-of-house elements such as acoustics, lighting, seating, and finishes with back-of-house systems like kitchen adjacency, ventilation, MEP capacity, storage, and service routes. Whether it is a hotel lobby and guest rooms, a full-service restaurant, a multi-vendor food hall, or a golf club clubhouse, our role is to translate your concept and brand standards into a buildable plan that meets codes, supports peak-volume periods, and holds up to daily use.
Helping you make the right decisions.
There are many choices to make across materials, equipment, and layout. We help you choose floor and wall finishes that stand up to cleaning cycles, lighting that supports mood and task work, and seating plans that move guests comfortably while maximizing covers. For hotels and motels, we coordinate guest-room standards, corridor durability, elevator and back-of-house circulation, and acoustic separation. For restaurants and food halls, we guide exhaust, make-up air, grease management, refrigeration, dish, bar systems, and vendor back-of-house support. For golf clubs, we align clubhouse dining, banquet rooms, locker facilities, and pro shop requirements so service flows cleanly on busy days.
The common stages of hospitality construction
1. Feasibility + Design
We begin with a feasibility review to understand the program, capacity targets, and operational goals. Our team studies kitchen, bar, housekeeping, and service adjacencies; evaluates utilities; and prepares schematic layouts and finishes that align with your brand. Early cost studies keep scope, timeline, and expectations aligned before technical drawings are finalized.
2. Pre-construction
With approvals in place, we complete site investigations, coordinate trade input, and build your procurement and phasing plan. We pay special attention to ventilation paths, odour and noise control, health and building codes, and landlord criteria. For renovations in operating hotels, motels, restaurants, or golf clubs, we plan noise windows, dust control, and after-hours work so guests, members, and staff remain comfortable.
3. Procurement
Schedule certainty is built here. Our project managers coordinate long-lead items, including kitchen equipment, hoods, refrigeration, custom millwork, lighting packages, guestroom FF&E, and specialty finishes. Because BUILD IT self-performs key scopes and operates an in-house millwork shop, we reduce dependence on multiple subcontractors and keep your budget unified under one team.
4. Delivery
On-site, your superintendent and project manager operate as a single line of communication. We manage inspections, coordinate trades, and resolve issues quickly. FF&E installation, equipment start-up, commissioning, and final cleaning lead to a clean handover so your team can train, soft-open, and launch on schedule.
Renovations, refreshes, and rollouts
For new builds, rebranding, or refreshing guest rooms and public spaces, we tailor phasing to live operations. For hotels and motels, we sequence floors and wings to minimize downtime. For restaurants, food halls, and golf clubs, we align work windows with service periods and events. Multi-site brands benefit from standardized details that improve with each build.
Custom millwork that elevates the experience
Bars, host stations, server-side stands, banquettes, back bars, concierge desks, reception counters, pro shop casework, and feature walls are fabricated by our millwork team for precise fit and finish. Expect consistent quality across locations, fewer remakes, and faster installation.
Safety and compliance
We align with health, fire, and building requirements from the start, coordinating inspections and tests so there are no surprises at handover. Our team manages documentation for hood suppression, emergency lighting, egress, accessibility, pool and spa areas where applicable, and life-safety systems.
