Working With Your GC

We understand commercial buildout timelines — rough-in must be complete before flooring, walls close before MEP inspections, and any delay cascades. Einstein Plumbing USA coordinates directly with your GC to sequence our work with the rest of the trades. We show up when you need us and communicate throughout.

Common Questions

What is a first-generation vs second-generation buildout? +
A first-generation (1G) buildout starts from raw shell space — concrete slab, no existing plumbing. A second-generation (2G) buildout takes over a previously occupied space and requires demo of existing plumbing before installing new. Both require permits. 2G work is often more complex due to existing conditions, and we price it accordingly after reviewing the space.
Do you work directly with architects and designers? +
Yes. We work from architectural drawings and coordinate directly with your design team on rough-in placement, fixture specifications, and any field conditions that require design input. We document all field changes as they occur.
Do you handle grease trap sizing and permitting? +
Yes. We handle grease trap specification, sizing per municipal requirements, permit application, installation, and inspection. Chicago and Chicagoland municipalities all have specific grease trap requirements — we know them and navigate them for you.
How do you handle multi-unit or chain restaurant rollouts? +
We have experience with multi-unit rollouts for national QSR and fast casual chains throughout Chicagoland. Consistent execution, same crew, same standards across every location. Contact us to discuss volume pricing for multi-unit programs.
