01 General contracting · Design & permitting · Compliance
One contract from construction drawings to Certificate of Occupancy. We pull the permit, we answer the plans examiner, and we carry every trade on one inspection schedule — so the only date you have to track is the one you open on.
Path A · Food & beverage
Concept to Certificate of Occupancy. Coordinated hood and make-up air, grease, fire suppression, health and fire inspections, CO — and POS, books and payroll waiting on the other side of opening day.
See the restaurant build-out path
Path B · Tenants & landlords
Tenant improvements delivered with the permit package. CAD and floor plans, plan review, jurisdiction coordination, trade sequencing and final inspection — one schedule, one number.
See tenant improvements
Path C · Developers
Ground-up construction, site development and entitlements. The part of a deal that dies early, handled by the same party that carries it through delivery.

03 For restaurant & franchise operators
Every commercial GC in Texas will tell you they've built restaurants. S&T owns and operates them. That is a structural fact about this company, not a line in a proposal — and it is why our schedules assume an inspection will go sideways instead of assuming it won't.
A general contractor has never had a health inspector fail their hood on a Friday. Has never watched a CO slip two weeks with payroll still due. We have. It changes how you sequence a job.
04 Proof
A full operating engagement under a management agreement — menus, recipes, systems, catering and the vendor bench that comes with running a room every night.
Owned by S&T. Food trailer and catering — and the test bed for the point-of-sale, payroll and back-office stack our affiliated software company is building to replace Square.
The catering arm. Full-service catering and events, and the operational reality check behind every kitchen schedule we write.
Disclosure: these are businesses S&T owns or operates. They are shown as evidence of what we do, not as independent customer endorsements. Project references furnished during proposal.
05 For tenants, landlords and brokers
Trades don't blow a tenant improvement. Plan review does. The package goes in short, comes back with comments, and three weeks evaporate before a single wall moves.
S&T produces the drawings, submits them, holds the building permit and answers the plans examiner — then sequences the trades against inspection availability instead of against a wall calendar.
No long-term contracts. Engage us for the permit package alone, the build alone, or lease-to-open on one contract.
Brokers: we keep a one-page timeline sheet you can forward to a tenant without editing it. Ask for it — no form, no follow-up sequence.
06 For building and land developers
By the time there is a wall to build, the expensive uncertainty is already behind you. The question a developer needs answered is not "can you build it." It is "can you get it approved, and how long."
S&T handles ground-up construction, site development and entitlements, and carries the same project through delivery — so the party that told you the approval timeline is the party accountable for hitting it.
Scope: land and building development · site development and entitlements · construction drawings and detailing · jurisdiction coordination and plan review · ground-up construction · project management through delivery.
Project references for ground-up and site-development work are furnished during proposal — this page will carry named projects once the client releases are in hand. We would rather show you nothing than show you someone else's job.

08 Path to open
Pick what applies. The sequence rebuilds — every approval, in the order it actually happens, with who owns it.
Illustrative sequence for direction only — not a permit schedule, and not legal or code advice. Requirements vary by jurisdiction, adopted code edition and local amendments. The live version would be built per city.
09 How the one-contract promise works
S&T Management Group Inc is held 50/50 by two family LLCs. Around it sits a family of affiliated companies covering the scopes a build-out needs — so coordination happens between people who already work together instead of across five invoices. You hire S&T. This is just how the work gets done behind that.
The operating company. Holds the contract, the permit and the schedule.
Owned food business, with Catering Connection as its catering arm. The reason our restaurant schedules are realistic.
Websites, POS and kitchen display builds, automation and the back-office stack behind opening day.
Books, reporting and payroll support for operators who'd rather run the room than the ledger.
Mechanical and air-side scope on the bench rather than on a bid list — so hood, make-up air and the vent-hood inspection sit on the same schedule as everything else.
Electrical scope carried in-house to the bench, coordinated against the rough-in inspection date instead of against a wall calendar.
Plumbing, fire-suppression and the remaining scopes performed by independently licensed contractors, with documents sealed by licensed Texas professional engineers where the work requires a seal, under our coordination and inspection schedule.
