Consultation and Menu Review
This is a comprehensive process that involves understanding the client's needs, analyzing their menu, designing an efficient layout, selecting appropriate equipment, ensuring compliance with regulations, and staying within budget constraints. Collaboration between the client and 3PM Design is key to creating a successful commercial kitchen design.
Phase I - Schematic Design
We will prepare schematic layouts representing the use of space. These layouts will indicate the proposed functional relationship between the food preparation, kitchen and support areas.
Upon approval of the schematic layout, we will prepare a preliminary budgetary cost estimate and a utility bulk load for the project.
Phase II - Design Development
We will improve the layout prepared in SD, and we will provide a complete ¼”-scale equipment plan, which locate and identify in full detail, all kitchen equipment.
We will prepare ¼”-scale drawings using the approved architectural drawings. We will itemize all equipment for which the kitchen equipment contractors are responsible.
We will provide an itemized booklet of suggested manufacture data sheets.
