There's been a lot of questions around the electricity supply into the building. Currently this section is used for food prep and we suspected that there was only 100 amps going to the panel. After a number of contractors have looked at it, we are happy that there is 200 amps (just about enough) and importantly there is 3 phase power. A lot of heavy machinery needs 3 phase power, in my case the large dough mixer.

As well as electricity we need to ensure the gas supply is sufficient for a big oven. Another tick in the box, it looks like there is.

The main issue is air conditioning. If you have an extraction hood to take out the heat from the oven you need replacement air to come in, and that can't be from an open door or window. The systems need to balance off. We will have to ramp up the air con a little, but we can do this with additional units in the oven area.

Water and waste should be ok. But oh there are questions about the bathroom .....
