Built Around Service

Work planned for closed days, after close and weekends.

What does a restaurant renovation involve?

A restaurant renovation covers the front of house guests see, such as the dining room, bar and washrooms, and the back of house that makes service work: kitchen walls, floors and ceilings, sinks, and the plumbing and ventilation rough-ins. In Manitoba, the plans also go to a public health inspector for review before construction starts.

Every closed night is lost revenue, so the schedule is built around service. We can work after close, on the days you’re closed and on weekends. In Winnipeg, loud work within 150 m of a home has to stop at 9 p.m., so demolition and cutting are planned for daytime closures and quieter tasks run later.

The kitchen is where most of the coordination happens. Hoods, fire suppression, the grease interceptor and your equipment each involve a different supplier, trade or approval, so we set the order early: rough-ins before finishes, finishes before equipment, and inspections before your opening date.

Hotels work the same way on a larger scale. We phase guest-room floors, corridors, lobbies and meeting rooms so the rest of the property keeps welcoming guests, with a weekly update you can share with your general manager or ownership group.

CHECK AVAILABLE DATES

What a Restaurant Renovation Covers

Front of house and back, scoped around your menu, your equipment and your service hours.

01

Site Visit & Scope

Walking the space outside service, going through your menu, equipment and hours, and putting the scope in a free written quote.

02

Dining Rooms & Bars

Layouts, banquettes, bar fronts, millwork, lighting and finishes that hold up to busy services and nightly cleaning.

03

Back-of-House Build-Out

Kitchen walls, ceilings and floors in smooth, cleanable materials, with floors coved at the wall where the health inspector requires it.

04

Plumbing & Ventilation Rough-Ins

Hand, prep and dish sinks, floor drains, the grease interceptor connection and hood rough-ins, coordinated with your equipment and hood suppliers.

05

Washrooms & Accessibility

Guest and staff washrooms rebuilt to the Manitoba Building Code, with accessible entrances and clearances planned into the layout.

06

After-Close & Closed-Day Work

Work scheduled after close, on closed days and on weekends where it helps, so you lose as few services as possible.

Restaurants, Cafés, Bars & Hotels

Hotels get the same planning around guests that restaurants get around service.

01

Full-Service Restaurants

Dining rooms, kitchens, bars and washrooms, from a refresh of finishes to a full restaurant fit-out for a new location.

02

Cafés & Coffee Shops

Counters, seating, display cases and compact prep areas planned for quick morning service in a small footprint.

03

Bars & Lounges

Bar fronts, back bars, seating and lighting. Licensed premises must tell the LGCA about major renovations, so build that into the plan.

04

Quick-Service & Takeout

Ordering counters, pickup areas and efficient kitchens for restaurants that do most of their business as takeout and delivery.

05

Hotel Guest Rooms & Corridors

Room-by-room or floor-by-floor upgrades of finishes, bathrooms, lighting and corridors while the rest of the hotel stays open.

06

Hotel Lobbies & Common Areas

Lobbies, front desks, breakfast rooms, meeting rooms and fitness areas, phased around check-in times and events.

What approvals does a restaurant renovation need?

Two sets. The City of Winnipeg handles the building permit and occupancy, and in Manitoba your public health inspector must review a scaled floor plan before construction or renovation starts. The health permit is issued only after an inspection once construction is complete, so both reviews belong in the schedule from day one.

Sources: Province of Manitoba: Food handling establishment inspections and health permits (verified 2026-10-13); Province of Manitoba: Guideline for the design, construction and reconstruction of a food handling establishment (verified 2026-10-13); City of Winnipeg: Commercial Alteration Design Summary (CADS) application, October 2025 (verified 2026-10-13); City of Winnipeg: Construction in your neighbourhood (verified 2026-10-13); Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba: How to apply for a liquor service licence (verified 2026-10-13)

01

Health Plan Review

Manitoba’s guideline says the owner must submit a registration form and a to-scale plan showing equipment, plumbing fixtures and finishes to the public health inspector for approval before construction, renovation or conversion begins.

02

Changes & Opening Inspection

If plans change before or during construction, the owner contacts the inspector first with a revised plan. The guideline asks for at least five working days’ notice for the opening inspection.

03

Finishes the Inspector Checks

Food prep and dishwashing areas need smooth, non-absorbent, easily cleanable walls and ceilings, and smooth, impervious floors coved at the wall. Equipment should be commercial grade, preferably NSF certified.

04

Hoods & Ventilation

New or renovated food premises need an approved kitchen ventilation system with a Type I or Type II hood suited to the menu. The guideline says to consult the permit authority and the health inspector on the hood and fire suppression system, and the health permit waits for written confirmation that it meets fire and building codes.

05

Grease Interceptors

Manitoba’s guideline says properly sized grease traps or interceptors serving the utensil washing sinks must meet the Manitoba Plumbing Code and be placed where they are easy to clean and maintain.

06

Change of Use

Turning a store or office into a restaurant is a change of use: it needs a building permit even with little construction, and a change of major occupancy may need an architect or engineer. Confirm the new use is allowed under zoning before paying for plans.

Planned Around Service

Approvals, closures and your opening date in one schedule, with an update every week.

We walk the space with you outside service, go through your menu, equipment list and hours, and note the nights you can’t lose. The visit and quote are free.

02

Quote & Schedule

A written quote and a schedule that maps the health plan review, the building permit, closures and after-close work against your opening date.

03

Permits & Build

We coordinate the permits and build in phases, front and back of house in the order that keeps you serving longest. You get an update every week.

Restaurant & Hotel Renovation FAQs

The things people ask us most before booking a restaurant & hospitality renovation.

Often, yes. We work after close, on your closed days and on weekends, and phase the job so part of the room keeps serving. In Winnipeg, loud work within 150 m of a home must stop at 9 p.m., so noisy tasks go into daytime closures. Kitchen work that touches plumbing or ventilation may need a short full closure, and we’ll say when.
