Design spaces for your brand. Built around people.
Hospitality, restaurants, coffee shops, retail, and workplaces — planned for the customer experience and the operation behind it. Builder Scaled connects brand standards, space planning, and architectural documents with coordination across all 50 states.
What you get
Your brand, your space, your operation
Start with how the space should feel and function. Develop the layout, document the design, and coordinate the requirements that connect your concept to construction.
Architectural Drawings
Translate the design into floor plans, elevations, sections, and details, with professional review and a scope defined for your site.
Brand & Guest Experience
Connect brand standards with arrival, wayfinding, service touchpoints, and the way customers and guests move through your space.
Operations & Coordination
Plan staff circulation, equipment, storage, and back-of-house needs alongside architectural, structural, and MEP coordination.
Space Planning & Site Fit
Adapt layouts and brand prototypes to existing conditions, tenant boundaries, accessibility needs, and local project requirements.
Brand experience & daily operations
Make every part of the space work together
A welcoming arrival is only part of the plan. Customers need clear paths, staff need room to work, and your brand needs a consistent presence. We bring those priorities into the same layout, from the front door to the service areas guests never see.
- Brand standards translated into site-specific space plans
- Guest journeys, queues, seating, and service touchpoints
- Staff flow, equipment, storage, and back-of-house planning
- Prototype adaptation with brand and consultant review

How it works
From brand brief to coordinated documents
Align the concept with your business, test how the layout works, and develop the documents with professional review. Scope and milestones are defined for each project.
Brand & Operating Brief
Share your location, brand standards, customer profile, operating model, and site information. We define the design scope, deliverables, and review milestones with you.
Space & Experience Planning
Develop layouts around guest journeys, service flow, and back-of-house operations. AI-assisted plan development supports iteration under professional review, not in place of it.
Construction Documents
Develop the selected layout into architectural documents. Coordinate brand requirements, equipment, accessibility, and structural and MEP inputs within the agreed scope.
Review & Project Coordination
Review documents with your brand and project stakeholders, address coordinated feedback, and prepare the agreed handoff for contractor pricing and jurisdictional review.
Project types
Commercial spaces with different ways of working
A hotel arrival, a coffee queue, and a retail floor each ask something different of a space. Design starts with your customers, your team, and your operating model.
Hospitality
Hotels and guest-facing spaces planned around arrival, reception, shared amenities, and service circulation. Balance a distinctive guest experience with housekeeping and back-of-house needs.
Restaurants & Coffee
Dining rooms, coffee shops, and quick-service concepts with layouts for ordering, queues, pickup, seating, and kitchen support. Coordinate equipment needs with the people running the operation.
Retail & Franchise
Translate brand standards and prototype layouts into a site-specific store. Plan merchandising, checkout, stockrooms, and customer circulation while accounting for landlord and local requirements.
Workplaces
Offices and shared work environments shaped around team needs, focused work, collaboration, and visitor arrival. Coordinate space planning with building systems and tenant improvement requirements.
Mixed-Use
Coordinate commercial uses, shared entries, amenities, and service access within one property. Define tenant interfaces and circulation so different uses can work together.
Commercial Renovations
Reconfigure an existing location for a new concept, refreshed brand, or changed operating model. Start with existing conditions and coordinate the design around site constraints and business needs.
Deliverables
Documents shaped around your project scope
Your deliverables connect brand intent, spatial decisions, and construction requirements. The proposal identifies the architectural sheets, operational layouts, and consultant coordination needed for your specific location.
