Pre-Construction & LaunchPad
Our three-phase Franchise LaunchPad gives you the data, planning, and protection you need before a single nail is driven — so there are no surprises when construction begins.
The Most Expensive Construction Mistakes Happen Before Construction Starts
Most franchise operators lose money on their buildout before construction even begins. They sign leases without understanding the true cost of the space. They finalize financing based on estimates that bear no resemblance to reality. They start construction with permit drawings that haven't been stress-tested against the actual site conditions.
The Olive Tree Franchise LaunchPad is a structured three-phase pre-construction service designed to eliminate these risks. We give you hard data, realistic budgets, and a fully coordinated construction package before you commit to a single dollar of construction spending.
Every dollar you invest in the LaunchPad is credited toward your full construction contract — so it's not a cost, it's a deposit on certainty.

Our Process
Phase 1 — Viability Assessment ($500)
A 60-minute strategy call with Nathan to assess site viability, identify red flags, and determine whether your location is a good fit for your concept — before you sign your lease.
Phase 2 — On-Site Audit ($2,000)
We physically visit your space and produce a written Risk Analysis Report covering HVAC capacity, grease interceptor requirements, permit complexity, and a realistic project budget.
Phase 3 — Full Pre-Construction ($20k–$40k)
We coordinate your architect and engineers, finalize permit-ready drawings, build your CPM schedule, and lock in your construction package — with full change order protection.
