BOQ & Documentation
Exhaustive Bill of Quantities (BOQ), technical equipment schedules, and compliant tender specifications.
Accurate procurement starts with rigorous documentation. Vector formulates exhaustive BOQs detailing every piece of equipment, sheet metal thickness (SS 304/316 gauge), electrical kilowatt ratings, gas load in BTU/kcal, water pressures, and drainage connections. This empowers clients to obtain transparent, cost-effective purchasing suited to international quality standards without unexpected budget overruns.
Scope of Work

- Detailed MEP utility load chart for consultants and civil teams
- Tender comparison schedules and material compliance checklists
Equipment Design & Selection
Tailored selection of standard commercial appliances and custom equipment engineering matching your specific menu.
Every culinary concept requires a specialized balance of equipment. We help hospitality and catering operators select the right capacity burners, ovens, fryers, dishwashers, and refrigeration units, eliminating both under-powered bottlenecks and costly over-specification. Where standard equipment does not fit architectural conditions, we engineer custom solutions.
Scope of Work
- •Thermal load calculation based on menu turnover and batch sizes
- •Energy source evaluation (LPG, natural gas, 3-phase electric, induction)
- •Matching equipment duty cycles to operational operating hours
- •Custom appliance design for specialized regional or international cuisines
Key Deliverables
- Itemized equipment selection matrix with capacity justifications
- Custom fabrication drawings for non-standard equipment units
- Energy and fuel efficiency optimization recommendations
SS Fabrication
Precision custom stainless steel fabrication using food-grade AISI 304/316 for worktables, sinks, counters, and sumps.
Stainless steel is the backbone of any commercial kitchen. Vector fabricates high-precision stainless steel equipment and fixtures using food-grade AISI 304 and 316. Our fabrication includes sound-deadened worktables, multi-bowl prep sinks, soil tables, mobile trolleys, dry storage racks, hygiene wash stations, and bespoke stainless cabinets built to exact site measurements.
Scope of Work
- •Laser cutting, CNC press brake bending, and precision TIG welding
- •Marine ply sound-deadening on work surfaces to eliminate metallic clatter
- •Smooth sanitary coved corners and burr-free deburred edge finishing
- •Rigid tubular under-frames with adjustable heavy nylon bullet feet
Key Deliverables
- Custom-fitted stainless steel worktables and prep stations
- Sanitary washing sinks and pass-through dishwashing tables
- Inspection and material certification for food-grade alloy integrity
Kitchen Infrastructure
Holistic coordination across civil layouts, plumbing, electrical, drainage channels, gas lines, and exhaust/fresh air systems.
A commercial kitchen cannot function without synchronized infrastructure. Vector designs and specifies the complete supporting backbone: gas manifold systems, fresh air make-up ducting, grease exhaust extraction with baffle filters, floor drainage trench slopes, waste water management, and fuel piping, ensuring safety and compliance with civic regulations.
Scope of Work
- •Civil wall positioning, curb dimensions, and floor slope gradients
- •Plumbing inlet lines, water treatment integration, and floor drain trenches
- •Electrical distribution boards, conduit paths, and waterproof socket locations
- •LPG/PNG gas manifold piping, emergency isolation valves, and leak detection
- •Exhaust hood sizing, fresh make-up air balance, and duct routing
