Ground-Up Construction
UG Construction led the full ground-up development of the new Fogo de Chão Restaurant in Katy, Texas. We began by demolishing the existing structure down to the original slab. Then, we rebuilt the foundation with upgraded underground plumbing, laying the groundwork for a high-performance restaurant environment designed for durability and long-term efficiency.
Structural Framing and Infrastructure
Next, our team handled all exterior wood framing and interior metal framing with precision and care. These structural elements formed the backbone of the restaurant, meeting strict timelines and exceeding quality expectations. Throughout the process, we maintained strong communication with all stakeholders to ensure progress remained on track and issues were resolved promptly and effectively.
State-of-the-Art Kitchen Installation
In addition to the structural work, UG Construction took charge of sourcing and installing advanced commercial kitchen equipment. We also installed rooftop HVAC units to support optimal kitchen operations. These systems were integrated seamlessly to deliver peak performance while ensuring compliance with safety and energy standards. As a result, the restaurant is equipped with a modern, state-of-the-art kitchen capable of handling high-volume service with ease and consistency, supporting operational excellence from day one. Every mechanical and electrical component was carefully tested to ensure long-term reliability.
Interior and Exterior Finishes
To complete the space, we provided and installed all interior and exterior finishes. Every design choice—from materials to lighting—was carefully selected to reflect the upscale Fogo de Chão brand. Consequently, the restaurant presents a refined, inviting atmosphere that enhances the dining experience for every guest and supports the brand’s high-end positioning in the market.
On-Time Completion
Most importantly, UG Construction completed the project within a tight 5-month timeline. Thanks to our proactive planning, skilled execution, and attention to detail, we successfully delivered a high-profile restaurant that exceeded expectations and operational goals.
