Food Court Design & Construction in Metro Vancouver
Avanta Contracting designs and builds multi-vendor food courts for malls, transit hubs, and mixed-use developments across the Lower Mainland. Food courts are among the most technically demanding commercial spaces — multiple vendor stalls, shared exhaust and make-up air, common grease interceptors, fire suppression, and high-traffic-rated finishes all have to be engineered to work together.
Each vendor stall needs its own service counter, ventilation hood, grease management, and branded millwork, while the shared infrastructure — central exhaust, make-up air, electrical distribution, and fire suppression — must be sized for the whole facility. We coordinate the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering with our construction crews to deliver stalls that are turn-key for incoming tenants and a common area that handles heavy daily traffic.
The communal experience matters too. We build durable shared seating zones, barrier-free aisles that meet BC accessibility requirements, integrated waste-sorting stations, digital menu boards, and wayfinding signage that helps customers navigate. Working to the BC Building Code and coordinating with the local building department, we deliver food court projects on a clear schedule and a transparent budget.

Food Courts — Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from Metro Vancouver business owners.
How much does it cost to build a food court?
Food court construction costs vary widely with the number of vendor stalls, shared mechanical infrastructure, and finish level, typically running from several hundred dollars per square foot when central exhaust, make-up air, grease interceptors, and fire suppression are factored in. We provide a detailed fixed-price estimate after reviewing the scope and engineering requirements.
How do shared exhaust and grease systems work in a food court?
Food courts use central exhaust and make-up air systems sized for all vendor stalls, along with shared grease interceptors and fire suppression. The engineering must balance airflow across every stall while meeting code. We coordinate the mechanical engineering and installation so the shared infrastructure performs reliably.
Can you build turn-key vendor stalls for incoming tenants?
Yes. We build individual vendor stalls with service counters, ventilation hoods, grease management, plumbing, electrical, and branded millwork so each unit is ready for the incoming food vendor to install equipment and open.
Do food courts need to meet accessibility requirements?
Yes. Communal seating areas and aisles must meet BC accessibility requirements, including barrier-free routes, accessible seating, and washroom access. We build these into the design and construction to ensure code compliance.
Which areas do you build food courts in?
We serve the entire Metro Vancouver region, including Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, and surrounding Lower Mainland communities for food court and multi-vendor projects.
