The most demanding
QSR specification.

McDonald's has the most detailed and strictly enforced hydraulic specification of any quick service restaurant brand in Australia. Corporate grease management requirements, specific Halgan grease trap sizing, trade waste licensing, kitchen drainage layouts and fire suppression systems all have to be priced exactly to the McDonald's corporate standard — not approximated.

An estimator who has never priced a McDonald's before will miss line items, undersize systems and produce a number that either loses the tender or creates variations during construction. SNZ has estimated McDonald's across new builds, highway service centres and established suburban sites — we know the specification and price it correctly every time.

Our McDonald's experience sits alongside broader QSR credentials including Hungry Jack's Berrimah NT, El Jannah and GYG at Cranebrook and the full OTR Cooranbong M1 service centre — making SNZ one of the most credentialled QSR hydraulic estimators in Australia.

Corporate spec priced exactly
McDonald's grease management, trade waste and kitchen drainage requirements are priced to the corporate specification — not averaged or estimated. Every line item accounted for.
New builds and refurbishments
Mambourin was a greenfield new build. Kirrawee was an established suburban site. Both required different approaches — SNZ prices each correctly for its actual construction context.
Highway & drive-through sites
M1 Cooranbong — two McDonald's on a major highway service centre, northbound and southbound. Highway sites have specific civil drainage, forecourt and capacity requirements that SNZ prices correctly.
Civil stormwater included
McDonald's Mambourin included full civil stormwater — forecourt drainage, detention and civil reinstatement. SNZ prices building hydraulics and civil stormwater as a complete integrated package.

Complete McDonald's
hydraulic scope.

Kitchen drainage
Commercial kitchen floor drainage, sink drainage and equipment connections — sized and priced to McDonald's kitchen layout specifications and local council requirements.
Halgan grease management
Halgan grease trap specification, sizing and installation scope — McDonald's preferred grease management system priced correctly with maintenance access and civil works included.
Trade waste
Trade waste connection, licensing fees, interceptors and council approval documentation — all trade waste compliance costs built into the estimate from the first line item.
Gas services
Natural gas reticulation, mains, metering and equipment connections to McDonald's kitchen equipment schedule — sized correctly for the full equipment load.
Public amenities
Customer toilets, accessible facilities, staff amenities and all associated sanitary drainage and water services — sized to McDonald's brand and BCA standards.

Site civil stormwater — forecourt drainage, detention, gross pollutant traps and civil reinstatement. Building hydraulics and civil drainage priced as a complete site package.

Why contractors choose SNZ
for McDonald's projects.
