Why You Should Choose KenDesign as Your Restaurant Design Partner in the US

Lower Design Costs 

One of the deciding factors in choosing a design partner is cost. Compared to domestic design companies in the US, foreign partners, specifically those from Vietnam, offer design services at significantly lower costs. This helps businesses optimize their budget while still ensuring high standards of quality.

Design costs in the US are often higher due to high salaries and operational costs. Many design firms optimize their work processes to offer design services at more reasonable prices suitable for various project scales. Competitive pricing helps save the budget and opens opportunities for construction and design companies in the US to invest more in other aspects of the project.

For example, in Vietnam, for over 25 years, the design consulting market has generally used a percentage-based method to calculate design costs. This is mainly due to the strong influence of government regulations, specifically the Ministry of Construction. A detailed survey of design costs (%) in the US, when compared to Vietnam, shows that the design costs in Vietnam are currently only about ½ to ¼. Specifically, if the average design cost in Vietnam is between 1.5% to 2.5%, in the US, it ranges from 8% to 10% (max: 12%).

Partnering with a foreign design company not only helps reduce costs but also adds value thanks to their experience and deep understanding of the international market. This is especially useful in designing restaurant spaces with diverse styles, meeting the needs of different markets.

Despite the lower costs, the quality is not compromised. Every project is meticulously cared for by our professional design team, ensuring high standards of aesthetics, functionality, and harmony with the surrounding environment.

Better Quality Products 

The diverse customer base requires designs that cater to different cultures and customer requirements. Many design and construction companies in the US have partnered with experienced foreign partners to deliver high-quality products, which is a core element in any design project, especially in the restaurant sector.
