Hospitality
Permit support for hospitality and food service projects.
Restaurants, bars, boutique hotels, and event venues require documentation that satisfies building, health, and fire agencies simultaneously. CADTRI prepares hospitality permit packages that consolidate the full scope in one coordinated submittal.
Overview
Hospitality projects involve a concentration of regulatory requirements that do not appear in standard commercial work. Health department coordination, occupancy load calculations, ADA accessibility compliance, life safety documentation, and in many cases historic district or design review approval are all part of a single project. CADTRI prepares hospitality permit packages that address every agency requirement in one coordinated set, reducing the back-and-forth that extends hospitality project timelines.
What We Deliver
- Building permit packages for food service and hospitality uses
- Health department coordination documentation
- Occupancy load analysis and exiting plans
- ADA accessibility compliance documentation
- MEP coordination packages
- Interior remodel permit sets
- Design review and historic district submission packages
Common Challenges
Where hospitality projects stall.
These are the documentation and permitting issues that consistently delay hospitality projects. CADTRI addresses each one at the production stage, before the set reaches the plan checker.
Health Department Coordination
Food service facilities require a separate health department permit alongside the building permit. We prepare documentation that satisfies both agencies simultaneously, so the project does not hold at a sequential approval step that delays construction start.
Occupancy Load and Life Safety
High-occupancy assembly spaces require exiting analysis and life safety documentation calibrated to the specific use and configuration. We complete the occupancy load calculation and exiting review at the start of production so the drawings reflect the correct egress widths, exit counts, and travel distances.
MEP Reconfiguration Scope
Hospitality fit-outs often involve significant reconfiguration of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. We coordinate structural and MEP drawings within the architectural package so all agencies receive a unified, conflict-free set rather than a disconnected collection of discipline drawings.
Exterior Design Review
Hospitality projects in commercial corridors and historic districts frequently require design review approval before permit submittal. We prepare the required architectural exhibits, material boards, and presentation drawings for planning or design review commission review.
