Here at Bergman, we’re driven by our clients’ visions and passionate about helping them achieve their goals. We’re currently in the process of transforming what was once a paved parking lot in Anaheim, California into a 2,400 square foot ONO Hawaiian BBQ restaurant.

Since its founding in 2002, Ono has established numerous locations throughout California and Arizona, bringing the welcoming “Aloha” spirit to each one. This project aims to support Ono Hawaiin BBQ’s mission of delivering exceptional service in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Construction kicked off in early April and is expected to wrap up by the end of September. The total development area, including the restaurant itself, spans approximately 18,000 sq-ft. Our scope of work includes constructing a brand-new building from the ground up, complete with a drive through, new walls, ceilings and finishes, as well as installation of new equipment, RTUs, and kitchen hoods. The remaining area will be fully redeveloped with updated landscaping and utility services.

So far, our team— including Project Manager, Terry Ng and Superintendent, Greg Weeger from our sister company, KPRS — has made headway in significant construction elements. This includes demolition, grading, utilities, and building envelope work. We’ve also begun interior work and are excited to move forward with restrooms, prep area, kitchen, continued roof work, and upcoming sitework.

Some of the detailed work completed so far includes under-slab MEP, temporary power, utility connections within 5 feet of the building, rebar and anchor bolts per plan, wood wall framing, rough plumbing and electrical, installation of structural steel trellis, tapered foam crickets and TPO roofing, and roof framing. On the interior, we’ve completed rough MEPF, passed several inspections, and installed floor drains. We look forward to completing all painting and site work, drywall, and tape in the next few months.

As we move through the final stages of construction, we remain focused on delivering a high-quality space that reflects both our client’s vision and our team’s commitment to excellence. Stay tuned for more updates as we head toward completion this fall!
