Do you own or manage an office or other commercial building staffed by hard-working employees? Well, no matter how large or small that staff is, all their efforts undoubtedly will stir up many appetites. Which is why it’s imperative to have a fully functional kitchen on the premises. Of course, that kitchen must be up to date to maximize food prep efficiency and worker satisfaction. If your kitchen doesn’t meet this high standard — or if you simply don’t have a kitchen – you should seriously consider adding one to your office or upgrading your existing facility. For this important step, you can’t do better than John Christopher Construction, the premier commercial kitchen design and build contractors in Orange County.

John Christopher Construction is an established expert in its field. We’ve earned this distinction for a variety of reasons. Among them is our versatility. Not only are we master builders, we are full-fledged MEP contractors. This means we handle all mechanical, electrical, and plumbing installations and renovations. Basically, we cover all the bases, from the structural elements seen on the outside to the hidden systems mentioned above. Thanks to this breadth of expert services offered by John Christopher Construction, we truly are full-service, do-it-all commercial kitchen contractors.
Design & Layout Planning
Many facets of our company distinguish it from the run-of-the-mill. Let’s start with the first stage of construction – design and layout planning. During this intensively creative phase, our goal from the outset is to create a workflow-optimized layout. Often, this takes the form of a ‘kitchen triangle’ or assembly-line configuration. For maximum efficiency, John Christipher Construction divides kitchen design into distinct, function-specific zones – prep, cooking, plating, washing, and dry/cold storage. But it doesn’t stop there. Our team also incorporates ventilation, safety, and accessibility considerations into the layout. The result is an undisputed excellence that has made us first rate providers in all categories, from commercial kitchen builders to lunchroom remodel contractors.
Equipment Installation
As a premier general contractor for commercial kitchens, John Christopher Construction has honed the art of equipment installation to the highest level. Expect to be impressed because we enhance your kitchen with only the most reliable commercial-grade equipment. This includes ovens, fryers, grills, walk-in refrigerators/freezers, vent hoods, fire suppression systems, and complete dishwashing stations. Bear in mind, we go beyond basic installation by fully coordinating with equipment vendors and utility hookup technicians. Whether we’re providing a commercial kitchen remodel or complete Cafeteria buildouts, you can count on this full-service accommodation.
Plumbing, Electrical & Gas Work
Our commitment to full-service accommodation is further exemplified by our first-rate commercial plumbing, electrical, and gas work. We cover the gamut, providing a full range of services for these three areas. Don’t worry. No job is too intricate for our experts. Got more than one sink in your kitchen? Consider it done. We routinely handle plumbing for multiple sinks. And we do the same for dish machines, ice makers, and mop stations.
You’ll be pleased to know we’re just as dependable on the commercial electrical front, fully qualified to handle all of your commercial kitchen’s high load circuitry. This includes circuits for ovens, mixers, and freezers. To round out our services, John Christopher Construction also ensures proper gas line installation with appropriate pressure ratings and precision shutoff valves.
Ventilation & Fire Safety
What about safety considerations? Clearly, this must be a high priority for a design build contractor like us. All ovens installed by our team will be protected by commercial hood systems equipped with fire suppression (ANSUL systems). John Christopher Construction is equally focused on air systems, ensuring they’re fully compliant with all relevant codes.
Kitchen components, too, benefit from our undivided attention and expert touch. On that note, John Christopher Construction installs grease ducts to capture cooking vapors, exhaust fans that cleanse the air, and carbon filters to further purify the busy environment. All this equipment works in sync to maximize kitchen safety for construction services ranging from lunchroom construction to cafeteria renovation.
Code Compliance
While we hold ourselves to the highest safety standards, John Christopher Construction also must satisfy the full range of code compliance standards established by various agencies and organizations. Thanks to our knowledge of this complex area, our construction designs and layouts consistently achieve compliance with local building codes, health department regulations, NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) codes, and ADA accessibility standards.
Flooring & Wall Finishes
When it comes flooring and wall finishes, all installations reflect our well-established commitment to quality. You can see that first-hand with our non-slip, seamless, and easy-to-clean floors (e.g., epoxy, quarry tile). Always welcome by hard-working kitchen personnel. As is a kitchen environment solidly enhanced by our installations of FRP (fiberglass reinforced panels) or stainless walls.
To protect those walls from dirt and scuffs, John Christopher Construction installs sturdy cove bases. Not only do these bases increase the durability of walls; they also provide a distinctive aesthetic touch to the kitchen. The best of both worlds from the leader of food service construction.
It’s important to remember that John Christopher Construction offers complete turnkey commercial kitchen construction. We handle all aspects of the building process, from A to Z.
