Phase One
1. Preliminary Consultation: This is our first conference with owner or architect to obtain general information about the project and to learn its objective. The purpose of this meeting is to determine the most realistic food service application for the project. There is no cost to you for this first meeting and no obligation on your part to continue with our program. After reviewing the information above, we will submit our consulting proposal for your consideration.
2. Conceptual Design and Space Allocation: As your facility designers, we immediately proceed to research the complete food-service scope of your project We then submit schematics and rough layout plans to arrive at our design concept and the most suitable space allocation to fit your food-service program within the architectural concept.
3. Development of Preliminary Plans: The first step is a general preliminary plan of the complete food service operation , which divides the different areas in accordance with their functions. Each area then is sub-divided in work stations. Simultaneously, a preliminary list of equipment is prepared and attached to the drawings. Our drawings are coordinated with the other designers in the project and submitted progressively.
4. Proposed Layout Plan and Equipment Budget: Once we have arrived at a mutually agreed solution, final layout plans with item numbers and equipment schedule are submitted. An estimate for the equipment installed is prepared and design revisions are made to stay within your budget.
5. Catalog Book and Preliminary Technical Data: Following the approval of our proposed plan and budget, we proceed to furnish catalog material, technical information and any manufacturer’s detail that may be required to help others in their completion of the over-all design of the project. This completes Phase One of our program. Phase Two follows for construction and installation. |

PHASE 2
1. Finalized Equipment Layout and Schedule: Phase One drawings are reviewed for any updating to make them current with the latest project drawings. Utility connection information and changes are added to the Equipment Schedule. These drawings are now finalized and re-submitted for final approval.
2. Specifications, Elevations ad Details: Equipment specifications are written following Section 11400 format of the “Construction Specification Institute”. Elevation drawings, fabrication details and other details required for the site to fit the equipment are prepared and incorporated to our previous drawings.
3. Utility Connection Drawings: A complete set of drawings compiling all required utility connections to the equipment is submitted to assist in the mechanical engineering of the project. Our drawings indicate the energy consumption, loads and ventilation requirements for the building mechanical design.
4. Approval of vendors’ submittal: The General Requirements of our Specifications indicate how equipment contractors and vendors should submit their shop drawings and catalog material for approval prior to fabrication and shipping. Alternate substitution of equal products may be proposed if they meet the specifications. Our evaluation, recommendations and approval of vendors’ submittal are included in our service to you.
5. Supervision: We will be available for job site meetings, installation supervision, computerized punch list and equipment start up and demonstration when required. These services will be contracted separately on per-dium bases with reimbursement of expenses.
