The Zero-Handoff Model

A QSR partner that owns every phase from site to soft-open.

Most QSR builds lose weeks at every handoff — broker to architect, architect to GC, GC to subs, subs to operator. Legacy Contracting Pros collapses those seams. We source the site, run the feasibility, build the budget, pull the permits, and self-perform the finishes that usually slow projects down.

  1. 01

    Site Sourcing & Feasibility

    QSR-focused site sourcing support, plus due-diligence construction estimates and pre-construction budgeting before letters of intent are signed.

  2. 02

    Pre-Construction

    Entitlement and permitting coordination, value engineering, civil/architectural/MEP coordination, and clean broker-to-GC handoff support.

  3. 03

    Construction Execution

    Full GC execution as a single accountable party. Self-performed interior finishes and landscaping protect the schedule when subs are tight.

  4. 04

    Owner's Rep & Rollout

    Owner representation through punch, FF&E, and brand standards review. Then we line the next units up — multi-unit rollout support across the Southeast.

How We Engage

From site search and feasibility to grand opening.

  1. 01

    Site Search & Fit Review

    Start before the site is locked. LCP helps evaluate target markets, site criteria, access, utilities, drive-thru flow, and early cost risks so the right location moves forward.

  2. 02

    Feasibility & Budget

    Due-diligence construction estimate, schedule range, and entitlement read so the franchisee can sign the LOI with confidence.

  3. 03

    Pre-Construction

    Drawings coordinated, permits pulled, subs locked, value engineering settled — under one accountable plan.

  4. 04

    Build & Self-Perform

    GC execution with self-performed interior finishes and landscaping protecting the close-out window.

  5. 05

    Open & Roll Out

    Punch, brand-standard walk, FF&E, soft open, grand open. Then on to the next unit.
