When selecting the perfect floor plan, it’s essential to assess how you and your family use your current space and what improvements would make your daily routines easier. For example, if you have young children, consider open-plan designs to keep an eye on everyone or a separate play area that can eventually become a study; those who enjoy entertaining might prefer a layout with spacious living and dining areas. Different considerations have to be made for narrow blocks, challenging slopes or heritage homes. Your perfect floor plan starts here. https://lnkd.in/gTXPPcQ2

Even the simplest tasks can become a challenge and add unexpected costs to a property refurbishment 😑 The other day, I discussed replacing all the internal doors with the carpenter. "No problem," he said, "I'll measure them up." Ten minutes later, he came back to tell me most of the doors are non-standard sizes. ⚠️ The kitchen door is wider than a standard door. ⚠️ The dining room door is taller than a standard door. ⚠️ The hallway door is wider, taller, and thicker than a standard door (which I already knew, as it’s the original front door). ⚠️ Upstairs doors are mostly standard, except for the W.C. door, which is both shorter and narrower than usual. Looks like we won’t be ordering off-the-shelf doors after all! 🤣 These "problems" are just things to solve, and we quickly found a solution. We decided on oak doors, with the carpenter routing a matching pattern. It's a bit pricier, but we 'shaved off' a bit of cost elsewhere AND it will add to the high quality finish this property deserves. #propertydevelopment #refurbishment #propertyinvestor

Today is day 3 of the BOH series where we analyse each area and discuss why BOH is such a crucial part of all your projects. Today, we’ll be focusing on the Receiving area. Generally speaking, the receiving area is exactly what it sounds like, it’s a space set aside for food and beverage shipments along with other deliveries. You can count, and weigh the items for accuracy, and discard or keep aside the ones that don't meet the quality standard. There are 3 main factors to consider while creating this space: 1. Volume of the goods to be received 2. Frequency of delivery 3. Distance between receiving and storage areas Some things to keep in this area are: Weight/Scales, Dollies, Carts, Vegetable Washer, Receiving table, Sink, Drain, Gravity rollers, a Conveyer belt, and a trash can or a waste disposal area Some floor/counter space should also be allotted for temporary storage where things can be stacked until they are properly checked in. Most deliveries are done by trucks which means that you’ll need a loading dock outside. For efficient and easy functioning you should leave enough space for 2 trucks which is around 80-120 sq ft. This prevents any congestion and gives the driver enough space for the delivery to be quick and swift. It’s also advisable to keep transport equipment ready in hand to move supplies quickly to their designated storage destination. . . . #gourangaahospitality #boh #boharchitects #backofhouse #bohconsultant #heartofhouse #hospitality #hospitalityindustry #restrauntdesign #clubdesign #restrauntdesign #foodservicedesign #architects #kitchenarchitects #hoteldesign #hotelconsultant #kitchen #commercialkitchen #hotelboh #foodandservice #bohconsultant #foodandserviceindustry

NYC is building permanent outdoor dining structures. One of the most cost effective ways cafes and restuarants can increase their covers is to occupy public space such as parking spaces. Many restaurants want this retailers and others don’t. Aucklands outdoor dining fee for the city centre is $2000 per year for 10sqm. 65% more than other areas (Heart of the City). This is for footpath space not road space. This isn’t the only reason Queen Street doesn’t have any outdoor dining but it is a factor. How different would it be if Auckland encouraged street dining in the city centre and elsewhere?

A successful project delivery depends critically on a seamless knowledge of the restaurant building timeframe. The length of time depends on various factors, including site specs, restaurant size, design, and final work. Pre-construction consists of three essential phases: designing, bidding (open or closed), and acquiring permits (which might take up to three months). Good construction requires time, so concentrate on creating a thorough plan for your restaurant project to ensure success. #FiorilliConstruction #BuildingTogether https://hubs.la/Q02xfk-80
