What We Build

Commercial Construction for the Hospitality Industry

From ground-up restaurant builds to full hotel renovations, we specialize in the projects that keep the Grand Strand running. Our team handles every phase — so you don't have to manage a dozen contractors.

One Team. Every Phase.

We've spent over 45 years focused on a single niche: commercial construction for restaurants, bars, hotels, and entertainment venues. That focus means we understand the unique demands of hospitality builds — tight timelines, health department requirements, commercial kitchen specs, and the need to open on schedule. We manage every trade from foundation to finish.

Restaurant Construction

Service 01

Restaurant Construction

We build restaurants from the ground up — or take an existing shell and turn it into a fully operational dining room. Our team understands commercial kitchen layout, hood systems, grease traps, and the finish work that makes a dining room feel right. We've built everything from fast-casual counters to 200-seat waterfront destinations.

  • Ground-up restaurant builds
  • Commercial kitchen design & build
  • Dining room finish work & millwork
  • Health department compliance
  • Bar & service station buildouts
  • Outdoor dining decks & patios
Commercial Renovations

Service 02

Commercial Renovations

Renovating an operating business is a different challenge than new construction — and one we know well. We plan phased schedules that minimize downtime, coordinate around your operating hours, and deliver a finished space without the chaos. Whether it's a full gut renovation or a targeted refresh, our team gets it done.

  • Full interior gut renovations
  • Phased construction around operations
  • Kitchen & bar remodels
  • ADA compliance upgrades
  • Structural modifications
  • Finish & fixture upgrades
Hotels & Resorts

Service 03

Hotels & Resorts

Large-scale hospitality projects require a contractor who can coordinate dozens of trades across a complex, multi-phase schedule — often while the property stays open. We've managed full hotel renovations, resort pool complexes, lobby redesigns, and new hospitality construction from site prep through certificate of occupancy.

  • Full hotel renovations
  • Lobby & common area buildouts
  • Guest room renovation programs
  • Pool & outdoor amenity construction
  • Restaurant & bar buildouts within hotels
  • Phased construction — property stays open
Entertainment Venues

Service 04

Entertainment Venues

Bars, nightclubs, event centers, and entertainment complexes have their own set of demands — acoustics, egress, occupancy loads, and the kind of finish work that holds up to heavy use. We've built multi-phase entertainment complexes, banquet facilities, and live music venues across the Grand Strand.

  • Bar & nightclub construction
  • Live music venue buildouts
  • Event center & banquet hall construction
  • Multi-phase complex builds
  • AV & lighting infrastructure rough-in
  • High-traffic finish specifications

How We Work

Our Process

01

01

Initial Consultation

We start with a conversation — your vision, your timeline, your budget. We ask the questions that matter early so there are no surprises later.

02

02

Scope & Estimate

We put together a detailed scope of work and a transparent estimate. No vague line items, no hidden costs. You know exactly what you're getting.

03

03

Permitting & Pre-Construction

We handle permitting, coordinate with your architect or designer, and line up every trade before a single nail is driven. Preparation is what keeps projects on schedule.

04

04

Construction

Our team is on site every day. We manage every subcontractor, track every milestone, and keep you informed throughout. No surprises.

05

05

Punch List & Handover

We don't consider a project done until every item is closed. We walk the space with you, address every detail, and hand over a finished building — not a work in progress.
