🏅CLIENT REVIEW
Rated 5/5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
“We had an outdated space and an even older kitchen layout. With new equipment arriving, we decided to go all in—and Westaim made it happen. They didn’t just renovate; they helped us redesign the entire customer experience. The new bar, expanded kitchen, and modern dining area have boosted our flow and our reviews. The permits and inspections went smoothly, and they kept to the schedule. Our restaurant feels brand new.”

Calgary City Code Considerations
Restaurant construction in Calgary is governed by regulations under the Alberta Building Code (ABC), National Fire Code (NFC), and Alberta Health Services (AHS). Key technical considerations include:
- Ventilation & HVAC: Kitchens must have proper commercial exhaust hoods (NFPA 96), make-up air systems, and air balancing for heat and smoke control.
- Health & Sanitation: Finishes must be non-porous, easily cleanable, and moisture-resistant. Handwash sinks, mop sinks, and dishwashing zones are mandatory.
- Barrier-Free Access: Public washrooms, entryways, and dining layouts must meet AHS and accessibility standards.
- Fire Safety: Fire suppression systems in hoods, fire-rated separations, and proper exit signage are required.
- Grease Management: Proper grease traps and interceptors must be installed as per plumbing code and AHS guidelines.
- Permit Coordination: Development Permit (DP), Building Permit, Electrical, Plumbing, Mechanical, and AHS Food Handling Plan approval are required before operations.
At Westaim, we handle all submissions and technical drawings, coordinate with health inspectors, and ensure everything is code-compliant before the final handoff.
