Commercial Kitchen Design

Bring whatever information you currently have for your project. Helpful items include:

• A copy of your menu or proposed menu
• Floor plans, blueprints, or measurements of your space
• Any sketches or existing layouts, even if they're hand-drawn
• Photos of the space
• A list of equipment you already own or plan to use
• Any inspiration, ideas, or specific requirements you have in mind
  

Don't have everything yet? That's okay. Your initial consultation is a starting point, and our team can help identify what information will be needed as your project moves forward.

Your initial consultation is free. A $2,500 design deposit is required to begin a formal design package. When the total equipment order is purchased through Big Erics, the full $2,500 is applied as a credit toward your final project purchase.

We offer both in-person and online consultations. In-person meetings are available within the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) with at least two business days’ notice. Outside the HRM, we offer flexible online consultations so you can discuss your vision, explore your options, and decide if Big Erics is the right partner for your project.

If you decide you'd like to move forward with Big Erics, we'll start by putting together equipment options and a preliminary quote suited to your project. We'll also present our formal design package, including the scope, design deposit, and next steps. If you proceed with the full equipment purchase through Big Erics, your design deposit is credited toward your final project purchase.

Our goal is to look at the bigger picture and help create a space that works for your business.

Yes. Our team can coordinate with the professionals involved in your project and provide equipment information and mechanical and electrical schedules where applicable. Final confirmation that equipment requirements are compatible with building services remains the responsibility of the appropriate contractors and subtrades.
