Case Study: Manhattan Design-Build Commercial Kitchen Launch A Manhattan restaurant group secured a second-floor space requiring a fully engineered commercial kitchen. The original contractor proposed separating hood installation, suppression, and ventilation into different scopes — creating major coordination risk and DOB objections. Master Fire Mechanical consolidated the project into one integrated design-build scope: • Designed custom Type I hood system • Engineered grease duct routing through fire-rated shaft • Installed UL-300 wet chemical suppression • Integrated gas shutoff interlocks • Balanced exhaust and makeup air • Prepared FDNY documentation and testing The restaurant passed inspection on first review and opened on schedule — avoiding costly delays common in NYC build-outs.

About Master Fire Design NYC Design Build Commercial Kitchen services are centered on one principle: engineered kitchens that pass FDNY and DOB inspection before the doors open. Our integrated design-build model eliminates the disconnect between hood fabrication, grease duct installation, fire suppression, ventilation balancing, and compliance documentation. By controlling both engineering and execution, we ensure: • Type I hood systems meet clearance and airflow standards • UL-300 suppression systems are properly positioned for appliance protection • Gas interlocks activate automatically • 3-RCNY compliance is satisfied • Inspection delays are minimized For NYC restaurant operators, design-build means accountability, coordination, and predictable results.

• What does design-build commercial kitchen mean? It means one contractor manages engineering, fabrication, fire suppression, ventilation, and compliance coordination.
• Why is UL-300 required in NYC? FDNY requires UL-300 wet chemical suppression for grease-producing appliances.
• Do you coordinate with architects and general contractors? Yes. We integrate directly with project teams for compliant execution.
• Can you correct rejected kitchen plans? Yes. We frequently redesign non-compliant hood and suppression layouts.
• Do you provide ongoing maintenance after build-out? Yes. We provide semi-annual inspections and long-term compliance support.

Experienced Commercial Kitchen Design-Build and Legalization

A successful commercial kitchen project depends on early coordination. The cooking equipment, hood, grease duct, exhaust fan, make-up air, fire suppression system and utility controls must be planned around the same final layout. When one component changes without the others being reviewed, the project can face redesign, added construction costs and delays.

Master Fire Mechanical provides commercial kitchen design-build and legalization services for new restaurants, tenant build-outs, renovations and existing food-service spaces throughout New York City. We evaluate the project as a complete operating kitchen rather than treating ventilation, fire protection and cooking equipment as unrelated systems.

Start With an Evaluation of the Space

Owners taking over an existing restaurant should not assume that the former tenant’s systems are suitable for a new concept. Changes to the menu, appliances or cooking line may affect exhaust capacity, hood coverage, fire suppression nozzles, utilities and required corrections.
