Capabilities

Wholesale Fabrication Delivered as Your Sub-Trade

Everything below is produced in-house at our 8,000 ft² Garland facility and delivered under your contract, your drawings, and your schedule.

Stainless Fabrication

Hoods, prep tables, dish stations, counters, and custom equipment fabricated to spec with NSF food-grade welds. See the full scope on custom metal fabrication.

Millwork Subcontracting

Reception desks, casework, fixtures, and architectural built-ins produced consistently across one location or fifty. Details on our commercial millwork page.

Waterjet Cutting

60,000 PSI precision cutting of metal, stone, glass, and composites, for production runs or one-off detail work. Specs on our waterjet cutting services page.

Design-Build Packages

Full commercial buildouts from concept and drawings to an open-ready space, delivered as your sub-trade rather than a competing GC.

Submittals & Shop Drawings

Shop drawings, cut sheets, and finish samples prepared for your submittal package, revised until the architect signs off.

Delivery & Install Crews

Our own crews deliver and set the work in DFW, and we ship nationwide from Dallas–Fort Worth for out-of-market programs.

Trade Partners

The Builders and Designers We Work Behind

RHQ stays in the background. Your client sees your name on the project, and you see one line item where four vendors used to be.

General Contractors

One sub-trade covering fabrication, millwork, and waterjet, with submittals handled and install crews that show up on your schedule.

Architects & Designers

A shop that builds what you drew. We flag constructability issues early and return shop drawings instead of surprises.

Franchise Rollouts

Multi-location programs with the same finishes, tolerances, and details at every site, priced for volume and repeat work.

Sign & Fixture Companies

Overflow capacity and specialty cutting for shops that need wholesale fabrication without giving up the account.

How It Works

A Straight Line From Drawings to Install

Because design, fabrication, and install all sit under one roof, there’s no hand-off between vendors and no chain of subs behind your sub.

Send the Scope

Send drawings, a spec book, or a program outline. We’ll tell you plainly what we self-perform and what we don’t.

Quote & Timeline

You get shop-direct wholesale pricing and a realistic schedule based on our actual shop load, not a placeholder date.

Shop Drawings

We prepare shop drawings and submittals for approval, and revise until your architect and client sign off.

In-House Fabrication

Metal, millwork, and waterjet work runs through our own Garland shop with our own crews, so we control quality and dates.

Delivery & Install

Our crews deliver and install in DFW, coordinated around your site schedule. Out-of-market work ships nationwide.

Why In-House

The Case for One Accountable Shop

When your sub doesn’t sub it out, the usual failure points disappear. That’s the whole argument, and it plays out in four places.

Schedule Control

We own the shop calendar, so the dates we quote reflect real capacity. No waiting on a vendor’s vendor to confirm.

Single Accountability

One contract, one point of contact, one team responsible for the outcome. When something needs fixing, there’s no dispute over whose scope it was.

Consistent Tolerances

The same fabricators, finishers, and QC standards touch every piece, which is what keeps a 12-site rollout looking like one project.

Code & Spec Compliance

Food-service work is welded to NSF standards and built to your approved submittals, so inspections don’t stall your schedule.

FAQ

Common Questions From Trade Partners

Do you work as a subcontractor for general contractors?

Yes. RHQ acts as a single-source commercial subcontractor for GCs, architects, designers, and developers, self-performing design-build, metal fabrication, custom millwork, and waterjet cutting from our 8,000 ft² Garland shop. One contract, one team, no chain of subs behind your sub.

What trades do you self-perform in-house?

Design-build, stainless and metal fabrication, commercial millwork, and 60,000 PSI waterjet cutting, all under one roof in Garland with our own crews and finishing line. Your work doesn’t route through outside shops.

How does wholesale pricing work?

You buy direct from the shop that builds the work, with no broker or middle-layer markup. Volume and repeat programs are priced accordingly. Send drawings or a program and we’ll quote it.

Can you handle multi-location and franchise programs?

Yes. We scale from a single custom piece to franchise rollouts and multi-site programs. Because we control the shop and the schedule, finishes and timelines stay consistent across every location.

Do you provide shop drawings and submittals?

Yes. We prepare shop drawings, cut sheets, and finish samples for your submittal package and revise until the architect approves. Fabrication starts from the approved set, not from assumptions.

Do you only work on restaurants?

No. Restaurants are our heritage, including 1,000+ builds since 1992, but we subcontract fabrication, millwork, and build services for retail, healthcare, office, and commercial projects across Dallas-Fort Worth, and ship nationwide.
