QSR MEP Challenges Architects Face — And How We Solve Them

1 Fast-Track QSR Schedules

Problem

  • Extremely short design-to-permit timelines
  • Pressure to issue incomplete drawings
  • Late MEP inputs delaying submissions

Solution

  • Early MEP system planning aligned with architectural layouts
  • Permit-ready MEP drawings delivered on fast-track schedules
  • Parallel coordination to avoid design bottlenecks

2 Tight Spaces & High Equipment Density

Problem

  • Compact QSR footprints with heavy MEP loads
  • Limited ceiling heights and congested back-of-house areas
  • Frequent clashes between ducts, piping, and structure

Solution

  • High-density MEP coordination for tight architectural spaces
  • Efficient routing that preserves ceiling heights and layouts
  • Clash-aware designs that reduce downstream conflicts

3 Kitchen Exhaust & Health Department Compliance

Problem

  • Strict health department reviews for commercial kitchens
  • Conflicts between exhaust, makeup air, and architectural layouts
  • Late comments requiring redesign

Solution

  • Code-aligned exhaust and makeup air design from day one
  • Early coordination of hoods, grease ducts, and air balance
  • Designs that anticipate health department review requirements

4 Prototype Adaptation for Local Jurisdictions

Problem

  • National QSR prototypes not aligned with local codes
  • Last-minute revisions during plan review
  • Inconsistent MEP standards across locations

Solution

  • Adaptation of prototype MEP designs to local requirements
  • Consistent documentation across multiple locations
  • Faster approvals without compromising brand standards

5 Energy Code & Utility Requirements

Problem

  • Stringent energy code compliance requirements
  • Utility coordination delays impacting schedules
  • Equipment efficiency conflicts during review

Solution

  • Energy-code-aligned HVAC and electrical system design
  • Early utility coordination to avoid late changes
  • Equipment selections that balance efficiency and performance

6 Contractor RFIs & Construction Rework

Problem

  • Ambiguous MEP drawings leading to RFIs
  • Field changes affecting architectural intent
  • Budget and schedule overruns

Solution

  • Clear, constructible MEP documentation
  • Well-coordinated drawings that reduce RFIs
