A restaurant or cafe is a special catering establishment that offers visitors a wide selection of various dishes and is often associated with a festive atmosphere. The effectiveness of its work and popularity with visitors largely depends on how cozy and comfortable this establishment is. That is why, even at the planning stage of such an object, maximum attention should be paid to the most important aspects. Typically, such projects are carried out by special construction companies that offer a convenient turnkey building construction service.

Construction of cafes and restaurants: main stages

The most important factor affecting the success of the future establishment is the correct location of the facility. No less important are the accents of a convenient entrance to the building, the presence of a parking lot, a terrace, convenient pedestrian paths and a beautiful exterior of the establishment.

The process of building a restaurant or cafe involves the following stages:

• Creating a project plan and design. At the same time, a number of all requirements for a catering establishment in terms of service and even the menu are necessarily taken into account. The area is calculated with an emphasis on the required number of seats in the hall, kitchen area, warehouse, workshop, bar, display case and administrative territory.
• Building construction. When choosing the type of foundation, the characteristics of the soil and the weight of the structure are taken into account. Next, the walls are erected and the roof is equipped.
• Connecting communications. This is a mandatory stage, which involves laying a sewage and drainage system, conducting electricity and arranging ventilation. The heating system is installed taking into account the volume of the heated area.

The last stage is the implementation of internal and external finishing works. The choice of style and direction of the interior and facade is determined in advance by the theme of the institution. During construction, all established sanitary requirements and fire safety standards are necessarily taken into account.

How much does it cost to build a turnkey restaurant or cafe?

The cost of the project depends on the specifics and quantity of materials, as well as the features of the work planned to be performed. Accordingly, the following can be considered basic factors that have a direct impact on the cost of construction:

• Project. An exclusive format will cost approximately 10% more than the total amount. A typical option, taking into account the individual characteristics of the building, can be much cheaper.
• Type of foundation. The choice of its type is determined by the specifics of the main material from which the walls will be built.
• Walls and number of floors. Here, the type and size of the main material and the complexity of the basic structure are taken into account - the number of floors, walls and piers.
• Roof. This segment takes into account the complexity of the roof structure and the type of roofing materials.
• Windows. The greater the number of windows and the glazing area, the more expensive their installation will be.
• Doors - in this case, the costs of installation work, the number and type of doors, and services for their transportation are taken into account.
• Ceiling and floor - prices for laying the floor and arranging the ceiling, taking into account the choice of materials.

In addition, the price is affected by the work on laying all necessary communications, finishing inside, transportation of building materials to the location. The removal of construction waste is also taken into account.

Approximate prices for the construction of turnkey restaurants and cafes

When drawing up an estimate, the nature of the building is also taken into account, namely:

• construction of a building frame - the project is delivered with walls that have window and door openings and rafters;
• construction of a closed house contour - the customer receives a closed building box with mounted windows, doors and a roof.
• turnkey construction - the facility is delivered completely ready for operation.

Given that the latter format is the most convenient for future owners of catering establishments, it is possible to determine some approximate prices for such a service. For example, when ordering a restaurant or cafe from a wooden log house, you can expect to pay from 2256 UAH per square meter. If a decision is made to build a modular building with a frame, the standard configuration will cost approximately 15,840 UAH per sq. m. The "Premium" configuration will cost from 20,240 UAH per square meter.
