Restaurants &
Food Service
Restaurant and food-service spaces need to balance design, operations, and technical performance — we coordinate each one to bring your vision to life.
Challenges we see most often with restaurant & food service projects
The bid does not reflect the full scope
- Much of a restaurant’s cost sits in backend systems like gas, ventilation, and fire protection.
- A bid priced mainly from design drawings misses or underprices this work.
- The missing costs return as change orders once the budget is already set.
Technical work is sequenced without enough understanding
- Restaurant scopes are tightly connected, so each trade’s work affects the next.
- Without an engaged general contractor, conflicts between trades go unnoticed on site.
- They surface late as rework, delays, and change orders the owner pays for.
The owner becomes the project coordinator
- Restaurant owners are already managing staff, equipment, suppliers, and the opening of the business.
- The general contractor does not take clear ownership of consultant coordination and City responses.
- The owner is left chasing updates instead of preparing the business to open.
Support falls away after handover
- Once the restaurant opens, issues still come up that need the project team’s attention.
- Responses take days or weeks, and unfamiliar third parties must first learn the space.
- A straightforward fix becomes another problem for the owner to manage.
Precise Pre-Construction
We work out the full picture before construction starts.
- Pre-construction review: A free review of your site, needs, existing services and code.
- Far more detailed estimates: Our estimates are far more detailed than the industry standard for commercial tenant improvements, and they follow the order the work happens.
- Fair pricing and sourcing: Past projects and trusted suppliers help us balance cost, quality, availability and lead time.
- Design support: We help architects and designers with buildability, specifications and millwork drawings.
Proprietary Execution
We keep the critical work in-house, so your project is built as one connected job.
- On every site: 50+ years of combined, highly skilled trades experience.
- Framing and drywall: Accurate walls and openings set up everything after them, and we control quality from structure to finish.
- Millwork: Our in-house team controls the drawings, fabrication, fit and installation.
- Experienced coordination: Our on-site teams catch conflicts before they become rework, delays or added costs.
- Planned around you: We work around your operations, opening dates and busy periods.
Dedicated Post-Care
We stay with you after handover.
- Quick response: Same-day attention for water, electrical and mechanical issues.
- Direct access: You keep working with the team that built your space.
- Seen through to the end: We find the cause, arrange the right repair and follow it through, so you aren’t left managing trades.
“Our experience with Jeff Wong and FinalChoice Construction over the past 8 years has been nothing short of exceptional. Jeff and his team have completed tenant improvements on 3 of our Personal Fitness Training Facilities, on schedule, on budget, and with a very high level of attention to detail and finish. Most recently FinalChoice completed a $370,000+ renovation to our flagship center, and did so while allowing us to remain open for business and fully operational. They did this while simultaneously completing a $370,000 tenant improvement on our new White Rock facility. I can honestly say that I have never seen a team of people work so diligently and thoroughly in order to meet their commitment, timeline and the needs of their client. I would confidently recommend Jeff and his team at FinalChoice to assist you with any of your construction needs.”
“Final Choice was recommended to me by a friend and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any friends of mine who need the services of a good contractor. Jeff is reliable, easy to work with and definitely did his best to please. The result was a job well done with a satisfied client.”
“I have been extremely happy with the efficiency, hard work, and enthusiasm of Jeff’s team. They will work through rain, snow, and weekends to get something done.”
“No excuses, great ideas, and quick & clean execution. We would like to thank Jeff Wong and his team for their past and future work on our homes and offices.”
“I have used various contractors in different homes and for the last 10 years FinalChoice has done various projects at my home. Jeff has always done outstanding work – on time, on budget, and with a minimum disruption to the home. The key quality is Jeff’s commitment to service. In one situation, where there was a flood, Jeff arrived within 20 minutes and minimized the damage – Jeff Wong is an exceptional individual and FinalChoice a contractor with an exceptional reputation which these days is not always the case.”
“Jeff Wong of FinalChoice Construction and his able team did an extensive renovation and repair post flood for us in 2008 and 2009. Jeff was always easily available to answer questions and was frequently on site to supervise his team. His team is very hard working, arriving early in the morning and staying most days until 7 PM. They also worked Saturdays. This meant that the work was done in a much shorter timeframe than otherwise, for which we were very grateful. The quality of his team’s work is excellent with great attention to details.”
“Jeff ALWAYS took my calls. This is quite uncommon among contractors. If there was a situation on site, he was willing to drive over there to meet me day or night. The crews that came over to my home were kind, courteous, and knowledgeable. At the end of each day, there was a clean up and all materials and tools were stacked and organised. Jeff is an honest, straightforward gentleman who strives and succeeds in the smoothest sites I’ve encountered. Since I’ve been in the construction industry for 30 years, I see what goes on in each site––Jeff stands out from the rest”
