Our Specialized Approach to Restaurant and Brewery Construction

  • Technical Expertise for Complex Hospitality Systems

    Building commercial kitchens and breweries requires mastery of intricate mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. We manage complex installations such as brewing tanks, kitchen ventilation, refrigeration, specialty piping, and fire suppression systems. Our experience ensures these systems integrate flawlessly, supporting operational efficiency and safety.

  • Front-of-House Excellence

    The front of house demands craftsmanship that impresses customers at every touchpoint—from welcoming exteriors and inviting dining areas to customer restrooms and stylish bar spaces. We expertly install sophisticated finishes, security and POS systems, custom built-ins, and signage that reflect your brand’s personality.

  • Navigating Stringent Codes and Regulations

    Hospitality projects in Virginia must meet rigorous building, health department, and ADA compliance standards. Our team’s thorough understanding of these requirements allows us to expertly guide your project through permits and inspections, ensuring a smooth process and a fully compliant, safe final space.

  • Collaborative Design-Build Process

    Our design-build services deliver seamless project execution aligned with your vision, budget, and timeline. From initial preconstruction consultations to finish selections and equipment installations, we partner with you every step of the way, fostering clear communication and proactive problem-solving.

  • Value Engineering for Budgets That Work

    Recognizing that most new restaurants and breweries face a period before profitability, we carefully manage budget items, leveraging trusted subcontractors and suppliers to keep costs tightly controlled without sacrificing quality. Our value engineering process maximizes your investment, helping you open and operate faster and more profitably.

It's not often you find a GEM in a small city with big ideas. Hunnicutt Construction is that GEM. Time is money in this industry and wasting Tim on excuses or empty promises is a practice no one can afford. I enjoy their direct communication and taking ownership of their work. These are the foundations of the RIGHT firm you want to work with.

I would absolutely recommend Hunnicutt Construction to anyone. I was completely blown away by the high level of commitment and communication that I received before, during, and after my project. The owners worked on my behalf to keep costs as reasonable as possible, helping me stick within my budget. The work was well supervised and was done in a timely manner. It was managed with ease & I was kept informed every step of the way. A wonderful company to work with.

The project Hunnicutt Construction completed for us was a complicated mixed-use (restaurant/residential), historic tax credit renovation in Jackson Ward. The Hunnicutt team took great care in preparing a budget that was free from excess. Their tradesmen were proficient with our many highly specific standards and expectations. Hunnicutt was highly communicative & immediately responsive; maximizing productivity and efficiency while minimizing change orders and cost overruns. Hunnicutt's dedicated & personally invested team ensured out project was completed to our exact standards, within budget, and in a timely manner, all while minimizing the owner's stress levels.
