KFC + Taco Bell Te Rapa

We are currently delivering the construction of a new dual-brand quick service restaurant development for Restaurant Brands New Zealand at Te Rapa, Hamilton. The project comprises the simultaneous construction of a standalone Taco Bell Drive-Thru restaurant and a standalone KFC Drive-Thru restaurant within a single commercial development, creating a significant new food destination in one of Hamilton's key growth corridors.

The development involves the full construction of two purpose-built restaurant facilities, associated drive-thru infrastructure, commercial kitchens, dining areas, customer amenities, external works, parking, landscaping and site-wide services. The project requires extensive coordination across multiple stakeholders, nominated subcontractors, specialist suppliers and Restaurant Brands operational requirements, all within a compressed construction programme.

The Taco Bell restaurant comprises approximately 164m² of floor area and incorporates a full commercial kitchen, customer dining area, drive-thru service facilities, manager's office, food preparation zones, storage facilities and accessible customer amenities.

The KFC restaurant comprises approximately 218m² of floor area and includes a full production kitchen, food preparation and storage areas, chilled and frozen storage facilities, customer dining space, dual drive-thru pickup operations, manager facilities, utility areas and accessible amenities

Our scope includes:

  • Complete new-build construction from foundation through to handover.
  • Structural concrete slabs, foundations and building superstructures.
  • External cladding systems, roofing and architectural façade elements.
  • Commercial kitchen fit-outs and foodservice infrastructure.
  • Drive-thru facilities and associated customer service areas.
  • Internal finishes, specialist joinery and branded customer environments.
  • Mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection coordination.
  • Integration and management of client-nominated suppliers and specialist contractors.
  • Site services, drainage, paving, parking and external works.


The architectural design incorporates a range of modern exterior finishes, contemporary customer dining environments and highly functional back-of-house operations tailored to the operational requirements of both international brands.

Distinctive branded façades, drive-thru canopies, illuminated signage, custom interior finishes and purpose-built commercial kitchen facilities combine to create durable, high-performing hospitality environments.
