Food & Beverage Facility Construction for Optimized Operations

Expert food and beverage facility construction, ensuring compliance and seamless production operations.

Innovative Food & Beverage Construction Solutions

The food and beverage industry requires specialized construction solutions that support efficient production, compliance with safety regulations, and a seamless customer experience. Jewett Construction brings decades of expertise in designing and building facilities tailored to restaurants, food processing plants, breweries, and distribution centers. From commercial kitchens to large-scale production facilities, our team ensures every detail aligns with industry standards and client expectations.

Understanding the Unique Needs of Food & Beverage Facilities

Food and beverage construction goes beyond standard commercial building practices. Facilities must accommodate food safety regulations, efficient workflow design, and advanced mechanical systems. Jewett Construction collaborates with clients to develop spaces that optimize operations, maintain sanitary conditions, and enhance productivity. Whether working on a new build or a renovation, we deliver high-quality solutions tailored to food service, processing, and distribution needs.

Designing for Food Safety and Compliance

Strict food safety guidelines, including FDA, USDA, and HACCP standards, govern food and beverage facilities. Proper ventilation, temperature control, and sanitation are critical to meeting these requirements. Jewett Construction integrates food-safe materials, non-porous surfaces, and advanced air filtration systems to prevent contamination. Our team ensures that every project adheres to health and safety regulations, creating environments that support long-term compliance and operational efficiency.

Optimizing Layouts for Efficiency

A well-designed layout enhances workflow efficiency, reducing bottlenecks and improving productivity. In restaurant and food production facilities, kitchen areas must be strategically placed to support seamless food preparation, storage, and waste management. Jewett Construction uses advanced planning techniques to optimize space utilization, ensuring clear separation between raw material storage, processing areas, and finished product zones.

Specialized Construction for Restaurants and Commercial Kitchens

Restaurants require aesthetically pleasing and functional spaces that enhance customer experience while maintaining efficient kitchen operations. Jewett Construction builds and renovates dining areas, commercial kitchens, and bar spaces that reflect brand identity and maximize efficiency. Our expertise includes:

  • Custom Kitchen Layouts: Designing kitchens that optimize movement, reduce wait times, and support high-volume food preparation.
  • Ventilation & Fire Suppression: Installing industry-leading exhaust hoods, fire suppression systems, and HVAC units to maintain safety and comfort.
  • Dining & Bar Areas: Creating inviting atmospheres with high-end finishes, custom millwork, and integrated lighting solutions.

Constructing Food Processing and Manufacturing Facilities

Food processing plants must meet stringent hygiene and safety standards while maintaining efficient production lines. Jewett Construction specializes in the construction of large-scale food processing and manufacturing facilities with key features such as:

  • Temperature-Controlled Environments: Designing cold storage, blast freezers, and climate-controlled production areas.
  • Sanitary Construction Materials: Utilizing antimicrobial coatings, stainless steel surfaces, and epoxy flooring to ensure easy cleaning and contamination prevention.
  • Advanced Water & Waste Management: Implementing efficient drainage systems, grease traps, and wastewater treatment solutions.

Building Breweries, Distilleries, and Wineries

The craft beverage industry has unique construction requirements, from specialized brewing equipment installation to tasting room design. Jewett Construction collaborates with brewers, distillers, and winemakers to create functional and visually appealing spaces. Our expertise includes:

  • Fermentation and Production Spaces: Ensuring proper ventilation, insulation, and temperature control for brewing and aging processes.
  • Storage and Distribution Facilities: Designing spaces for barrel storage, bottling lines, and product distribution.
  • Tasting Rooms & Retail Areas: Crafting immersive customer experiences with unique architectural features and high-end finishes.

Food & Beverage Distribution and Cold Storage

Efficient distribution and storage are critical in the food and beverage industry. Warehouses and logistics centers must be designed to maintain product integrity, streamline supply chains, and reduce operational costs. Jewett Construction provides specialized solutions for:

  • Cold Storage Facilities: Incorporating advanced refrigeration systems, insulated panels, and energy-efficient cooling technology.
  • Automated Warehousing: Integrating conveyor systems, robotics, and digital inventory management solutions.
  • Loading Dock Efficiency: Designing logistics hubs with optimized dock positioning, temperature-controlled loading bays, and streamlined truck access.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability in Food & Beverage Construction

With growing emphasis on sustainability, food and beverage facilities must adopt energy-efficient and eco-friendly building practices. Jewett Construction implements green initiatives such as:

  • LED Lighting Systems: Reducing energy consumption with motion-activated, high-efficiency lighting.
  • Water Recycling Programs: Incorporating systems that reduce water waste and support sustainable production processes.
  • Renewable Energy Integration: Implementing solar panels, geothermal heating, and energy-efficient HVAC solutions.

Minimizing Downtime During Construction

Food and beverage businesses often need to remain operational during construction or renovation projects. Jewett Construction develops phased construction plans that minimize downtime, allowing businesses to continue serving customers or producing goods while upgrades are made. We coordinate closely with clients to schedule work during off-peak hours and implement safety measures to protect employees and food products during construction.
