Hospitality Construction Done Right

The hospitality industry demands spaces that look beautiful, function flawlessly under pressure, and meet some of the most stringent health and building codes in commercial construction. Archetype Construction brings design-build precision to restaurants, cafes, bars, hotels, and guest-facing venues.

We understand the unique challenges of this industry — grease trap requirements, commercial kitchen ventilation, health department inspections, liquor license considerations, and the relentless pace of a grand opening timeline. Our team handles it all.

Restaurant Build-Outs

Building a restaurant from shell space requires coordinating more trades and more specialized systems than almost any other commercial project. We manage every detail so you can focus on your menu, your team, and your brand.

  • Full restaurant build-out from shell or white-box space
  • Front-of-house and back-of-house construction
  • Host stations, waiting areas, and entrance design
  • Restroom construction to health department standards
  • Storage, receiving, and walk-in cooler/freezer installation
  • Office and employee areas

Commercial Kitchen Construction

The kitchen is the engine of any restaurant. We build commercial kitchens that meet health code requirements, support efficient workflow, and stand up to the demands of daily service.

Hood & Ventilation

Type I and Type II commercial exhaust hood systems, make-up air units, and fire suppression integration.

Plumbing & Gas

Grease traps, floor drains, three-compartment sinks, gas lines, and hot water systems sized for commercial use.

Finishes & Surfaces

FRP wall panels, commercial tile, epoxy flooring, and stainless steel surfaces that meet health code standards.

Dining Room & Bar Construction

The dining room and bar are where your guests spend their time — and where first impressions are made. We build spaces that create atmosphere while supporting the pace of service.

  • Custom millwork — bars, banquettes, booths, and host stands
  • Architectural features — accent walls, ceiling treatments, decorative lighting
  • Bar construction with plumbing, refrigeration, and ice systems
  • Sound systems and acoustic treatments for ambiance
  • Lighting design — dimmable, zoned, and atmosphere-appropriate

Hospitality & Guest-Facing Venues

Beyond restaurants, we build and renovate hotels, event venues, conference centers, and guest-facing spaces where the experience is the product.

  • Hotel lobby and common area renovations
  • Guest room build-outs and refreshes
  • Event and banquet space construction
  • Spa, fitness, and amenity area build-outs
  • Conference and meeting room construction

Patio & Exterior Dining

Outdoor dining has become a permanent part of the restaurant landscape. We build patios, decks, and exterior dining spaces that extend your capacity and enhance your curb appeal.

  • Patio construction — concrete, pavers, decking
  • Pergolas, shade structures, and retractable awnings
  • Outdoor bar and service stations
  • Heating, lighting, and weatherproofing systems
  • Fencing, railing, and ADA-compliant access

Health Code & Compliance

Restaurant and hospitality construction is one of the most heavily regulated sectors in commercial building. We navigate the full spectrum of requirements so your project passes inspection the first time.

Health Department

Kitchen design, surface materials, plumbing, and ventilation that meet local health department standards.

Building & Fire Code

Occupancy loads, egress paths, fire suppression, and ADA compliance for public assembly spaces.

Licensing Support

Construction documentation and inspections aligned with liquor license and certificate of occupancy requirements.

Renovations & Refreshes

Restaurant and hospitality spaces take a beating and need regular refreshes to stay competitive. We handle everything from cosmetic updates to full gut renovations — often while the business continues to operate.

  • Dining room refresh — new finishes, furniture, and lighting
  • Kitchen equipment upgrades and layout reconfiguration
  • Restroom modernization
  • Bar renovation and expansion
  • Phased construction to minimize revenue loss during renovation
