Austin nightlife venue permitted through the city's full comment gauntlet.
For a private social club in Austin, QD Design engineered HVAC for densely occupied gathering spaces, electrical distribution for entertainment systems, bar, and kitchen equipment, and plumbing across bar service and restrooms. Hospitality venues juggle noise, comfort, and code in equal measure. The design worked through City of Austin plan review — NEC, UPC, and IECC comment cycles — to permit drawings, adding to QD Design's repeat experience in the Austin entertainment corridor.
