Design rendering — winery restaurant by Eurohouse.
Eurohouse Construction builds restaurants, cafes, bars, and hospitality spaces across Metro Vancouver. Food service is the most complex commercial tenant-improvement category — commercial kitchen and exhaust, grease interceptors, gas and plumbing, fire suppression, health-authority approvals, and liquor-licensing coordination all have to come together on a schedule. As a licensed BC general contractor with 16+ years and a 5.0★ rating (34 reviews), we deliver design, permits, and construction under one roof and offer a free pre-lease risk review before you sign.
What a restaurant fit-out includes
A restaurant build-out typically covers: commercial kitchen layout and equipment coordination, Type I/II exhaust hoods and make-up air, grease interceptor, gas and plumbing rough-in, fire suppression, dining-room millwork and seating, bar construction, washrooms, accessibility, HVAC, and front-of-house finishes and lighting. Health-authority and (where applicable) liquor-licensing requirements are mapped before design is finalized.
Restaurant TI timeline in Vancouver
A restaurant fit-out commonly runs about 4–8 months end to end. The critical path is regulatory: health-authority review, exhaust and fire-suppression approvals, and equipment lead times. Eurohouse sequences the approvals alongside construction and orders long-lead kitchen equipment early so the opening date holds.
Restaurant fit-out cost in Vancouver
Restaurant and food-service fit-outs commonly run $200–$450 per square foot — the highest-complexity TI category — driven by kitchen scope, ventilation, base-building gas and electrical capacity, and finish level. We provide a realistic budget at the pre-lease stage so scope is calibrated before drawings are produced.

Typically 4–8 months end to end. The critical path is regulatory — health-authority review, exhaust and fire-suppression approvals — plus kitchen-equipment lead times. Eurohouse sequences approvals alongside construction and orders long-lead equipment early to protect the opening date.
Do you handle health-authority approvals and commercial kitchen exhaust?
Yes. We map health-authority requirements before design is finalized and coordinate Type I/II exhaust hoods, make-up air, grease interceptors, gas, and fire suppression as part of the project, with the documentation each approval requires.
Can you coordinate liquor licensing and equipment suppliers?
We coordinate construction with your liquor-licensing process and work directly with your equipment suppliers during design so dimensions, rough-ins, and utilities are confirmed before millwork and trades are committed.
