Client Objectives

• Expand the operational capacity of the kitchen through building extension
• Improve the customer experience with refreshed interiors, including durable, modern finishes
• Minimise downtime to reduce business interruption during the 6-week programme
• Ensure all works were delivered to strict brand guidelines and compliance standards

Scope of Works

• Full rip-out of kitchen and dining areas, including fixtures, flooring, ceilings, and redundant services
• Installation of new suspended ceilings
• Installation of on brand joinery package, including counters, service zones, and storage units
• On-site coordination with franchise representatives, brand auditors, and other contractors

Challenges

• Live environment constraints: Tight schedule and the need to keep disruption to nearby areas minimal
• Brand compliance: All materials and installations had to meet McDonald's strict global standards for design, hygiene, and fire safety
• Fast-track delivery: Just 6 weeks to complete a significant amount of structural, mechanical, and interior work

Solutions

• Efficient sequencing: Completed demolition and structural work in parallel with joinery production off-site
• Agile project management: Daily on-site briefings and milestone tracking kept the project firmly on schedule
• Collaborative approach: Maintained close communication with client-side PMs, enabling fast approvals and smooth handovers

Results

The project was successfully delivered on time and to exacting standards, enabling the client to re-open their restaurant with minimal downtime. The extension and refit have resulted in enhanced kitchen flow, improved service efficiency, and a modernised customer environment, all while remaining fully aligned with McDonald's operational and brand requirements.

This project further demonstrates PJ Interiors' ability to deliver fast-track, high-quality refurbishments within the demanding hospitality sector.
