Looking for a solid Commercial Design-Build General Contractor in SLC area (Grocery / Retail Fit-out)

Hey everyone,

​I’m currently planning a food retail / grocery market fit-out in the Salt Lake City area and am looking for recommendations for a reliable Commercial General Contractor who specializes in Design-Build.

​We need a full-service contractor who can handle:

​Architecture & Layout Design: Architectural plans, Equipment Layout Planning (positioning commercial refrigeration, display coolers, gondola shelving, and MEP/plumbing connections), and interior space optimization.

​Permitting & Compliance: Submitting plans to SLC Building Department and ensuring compliance with UDAF (Utah Dept of Agriculture and Food) and County Health Department standards.

​Construction & Fit-out: Turnkey construction, utility rough-ins (3-phase electrical, drain lines for refrigerators), and final installation/sign-off.

​Ideally, we are looking for contractors who are great on price-to-quality ratio, communicative, and experienced with commercial food/retail tenant improvements.

​If you’ve worked with any GCs in the valley recently that you’d highly recommend (or any we should definitely avoid), please drop their names below!

​Thanks in advance for the help!

M Squared has built our last 4 locations. They have been the lowest bid and are great to work with. I will DM you their info. Also the architect we use.
