About this project
The photo shows a freestanding El Pollo Loco: dark stone veneer and brick, the brand’s sign and its patterned tile band over the entrance, a fenced patio with red umbrellas, and the corner of the building toward the drive lane, photographed after rain.
El Pollo Loco is one of the restaurant brands on the Harrison Construction client list. A building like this is a ground-up project: the pad, the structure, the kitchen and the dining room, the patio and the drive lane, built to the brand’s prototype and the city’s requirements.
Harrison builds restaurants & qsr projects as tenant finish-outs, freestanding buildings and remodels, with pre-construction first. More about restaurants & qsr construction.
What a build like this involves
- Site work: grading, utilities to the building, paving, drive lanes and the patio slab
- Foundation, structure and the building envelope, including the brand’s signature elements such as a sign tower or canopy
- The full restaurant interior: kitchen rough-in, hood and fire suppression, grease interceptor, walk-in coolers, dining room finishes and restrooms
- Storefront glazing, exterior lighting, signage and the patio
- Permits with the city, the health authority review and the final inspections through the certificate of occupancy
