How Sword Construction, LLC Protects Restaurant Grand-Opening Dates
Restaurant brands plan grand openings 90 to 120 days out – with marketing, hiring, and inventory keyed to the opening date. Sword Construction, LLC protects that date with four practices on every restaurant build.
- Working superintendent on site daily - coordinating subs and self-performing crews in real time, not from a truck
- Kitchen-equipment vendor coordination - sequencing delivery, rough-in, and final commissioning ahead of health inspection
- Health-department coordination - pre-final inspections, hood and grease-trap sign-off, and final certificate of occupancy
- Self-performing finish crews - drywall, ACT, paint, and finish carpentry under Sword's control, not subbed to a third party
