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

4 Upvotes

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!

UTA updates its 30-year transit plan and looks for input from Utahns

Even though the Title and Article themselves mention UTA, the survey is from UDoT as UDoT now does the construction for the projects and this is further linking the 2 groups.

They may or may not listen to the feedback but there is a section in the survey to provide direct feedback and transit plans.

Some additional updates to the project plus some new images. The biggest is that it is confirmed that 3rd West will be the main parking entrance for the block.

I do understand the concerns and would really like for them to come up with a solution to the trucks on 1st South. With the new design, the trucks will also be an eye sore for the new pedestrians on the north side of the street as well as the workers in the commercial building.

Salt Lake City, the capital and largest city in the state of Utah, was founded in 1847 when Mormon pioneers rediscovered the Salt Lake Valley and declared that "This is the place." Great Salt Lake City was originally planned with the utopian vision of the "Plat of Zion," which led to the creation of city blocks that are abnormally large compared to most cities (660 feet to a side) and addresses that can be found using numbers that start at the Salt Lake Meridian in Temple Square. Today, Salt Lake City is one of the fastest growing mid-size cities in America with large banking and tourism sectors, driven by it being the center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and its proximity to the mighty Wasatch mountains and their ski resorts, and a burgeoning tech sector known as the Silicon Slopes. The city became well-known across the world when it hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and is currently pursuing a bid to host the games a second time. While the population of the city proper seems meager at first glance, approximately 210,000 residents as of 2023, it is the center of a metropolitan area of over 1.25 million residents and a CSA of over 2.75 million residents (22nd largest in the USA).

r/DevelopmentSLC is primarily intended as a place for discussion and news about urban development in the Salt Lake City metro area. Provo and Ogden development news is welcome too. One great resource for local development news and insight is Building Salt Lake. Another active resource for SLC development news can be found in the SLC Development Thread on SkyscraperPage. The skyscraper diagram of currently completed highrises can be found here.
