Question 1

What types of projects does Spacecraft Group specialize in?

Accepted Answer

Spacecraft Group specializes in full design-build services for restaurants, bars, nightclubs, cafes, boutique hotels and retail spaces throughout Los Angeles and Southern California. Our primary focus is commercial hospitality construction from small cafe build-outs to large multi-level restaurant and entertainment venue projects.

Question 2

Do you handle architectural plans, permits and construction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That is our core differentiator. Spacecraft Group handles architectural drawings, permit expediting through LADBS and all relevant agencies, and full commercial construction under a single contract. You have one point of contact and one accountable firm from start to finish.

Question 3

How long does a restaurant design-build project take in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

A standard full-service restaurant build-out in Los Angeles typically runs 6 to 12 months from design kick-off to certificate of occupancy. Our in-house permit expediting significantly compresses the permitting phase, often by 4 to 8 weeks or more compared to projects using outside permit runners.

Question 4

What is permit expediting and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Permit expediting is the process of actively managing your building permit application through the LA Department of Building and Safety, health department, fire department and all other agencies. In Los Angeles, permit delays frequently add 2 to 6 months to project timelines. Our in-house team eliminates most of this delay.

Question 5

Do you build commercial kitchens that meet LA County Health Department code?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design kitchens to pass LA County Health Department plan review on the first submission, coordinating ventilation hood design, fire suppression, floor drains, grease interceptors and equipment placement with your chef and equipment supplier from the beginning of design development.

Question 6

What areas of Southern California does Spacecraft Group serve?

Accepted Answer

Spacecraft Group serves the entire Southern California region including Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, Silver Lake, Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Long Beach, Orange County and the greater LA metro. Contact us to discuss your project location.
