Why do I need drawings from you, isn’t that what I have an Architect for?

A logical question that comes up ALL the time! However, our drawings are not theirs, neither are their drawings ours!

Most Architects require their clients to source and provide their own “rough in” drawings and equipment “cut sheets” for the kitchen through a private source, and rightfully so. There are some who dare to design kitchens on their own but fewer and farther between and usually end in confusion.

We provide exactly what your Architect is looking for. This service gives a foundation of Mechanical, Plumbing & Electrical (MPE) details that are then used by the Engineers to calculate items like the gas line, grease interceptor size, electrical load & panel configuration & HVAC calculations and much more.  

Our foodservice drawings contain the following information:

NUMBERED LAYOUT

The numbered layout serves to identify each piece of equipment with a sequenced numbering system that allows for easy “zone” identification. Our equipment symbols are detailed to reflect actual manufacturer details, not just generic rectangles and circles, ensuring proper spacing in every area.

EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS/SCHEDULE

Our equipment schedules detail the critical information your Engineers need to calculate all of your utility requirements. We methodically specify each item to coincide with your need and your budget. They detail “who is providing what” to clarify scope of work speeding the bid process.

ROUGH IN DRAWINGS

Rough in plans are the most important part of foodservice drawings. Ours are unique because they detail both horizontal and vertical dimensions on the floor plan. That makes it easier for the plumbers and electricians to position all utility locations correctly. Our construction experience combined with our equipment installation background goes into placing each stub out in exactly the right spot to avoid conflict with the equipment.

EQUIPMENT ELEVATIONS

Equipment elevation are very helpful when it comes to visualizing your facility. They assist the construction and installation crew with proper placement of all vertically mounted items, as well as clarify equipment placement when plan views can sometimes be unclear.

Our Foodservice drawings are very affordable. Pricing is based on the type of project and level of involvement required. For that reason we form our proposal to your exact need.
