CONSTRUCTION OF CHINESE RESTURANT
Part 1:
Project introduction
The paper focuses on the construction of Chinese restaurant in London, UK. It is
found that the Chinese restaurants which are generally present in Australia are very much
expensive and therefore the middle-class people face difficulty in affording food in the
existing Chinese restaurants. In order to resolve this issue, a new Chinese restaurant will be
constructed in London. The restaurant that will be constructed will be able to provide
different types of Chinese food in a proper ambience within a reasonable price.
