From First Call to Delivery: How Our Trailer Builds Work
Step 1 - Consultation
We start with a phone call about your trailer. What are you serving, where are you operating, and what does your kitchen need to handle?
Step 2 - Design
Based on your consultation, we put together schematic drawings of your trailer layout. You review the full floor plan and equipment placement before a single piece of material is ordered.
Step 3 - Proposal
We lock in your trailer size, finalize the equipment list, and put together a purchase agreement. A 50% deposit secures your spot on the build schedule.
Step 4 - Build
Your trailer moves into full production. Materials are ordered, a timeline is established, and our sales, engineering, and fabrication teams are all working toward the same delivery date.
Step 5 - Delivery
Your trailer is ready to go. Pick it up from our Houston shop or we coordinate delivery to your location anywhere in the U.S. It arrives inspection-ready and ready to serve.
