Turnkey Franchisor Buildout Program

Franchise growth should be predictable, but too often, franchisees are left to manage construction on their own – leading to delays, budget overruns, and poor execution that hurt the brand. Framework provides end-to-end construction management to ensure every location is built faster, at lower costs, and to brand standards – without the usual chaos.

Seamless Buildout & Turnkey Openings for Franchisors. Increase Revenue, Reduce Risk, and Strengthen Your Brand

Growing a franchise shouldn’t mean managing construction headaches. Framework partners directly with franchisors to centralize and standardize lease negotiations, buildouts, and project management – ensuring every location meets brand standards while opening on time and on budget.

We work alongside the franchisor to provide end-to-end construction management for franchisees, ensuring consistency, cost control, and efficiency. Franchisees focus on selecting the right location – Framework and the franchisor handle the rest.

One Bad Decision Can Ensure a Unit Never Opens

Franchising should be a path to rapid, scalable growth, but too often, franchisees are left to manage their own construction – leading to delays, cost overruns, and failed locations.

The reality? A single bad lease, unvetted contractor, or missed deadline can mean a franchisee never recoups their investment – and a brand that suffers from stalled expansion, lost momentum, and a damaged reputation.

The Problem: Construction Is the #1 Risk to Franchise Growth

Leaving franchise buildouts to individual owners is a recipe for disaster:

  • Bad leases ruin profitability before the doors even open: Franchisees often overpay for rent, fail to negotiate tenant improvement (TI) allowances, or take on properties that are impossible to build out affordably.

  • Unvetted contractors = blown budgets, endless delays, and lawsuits: Many franchisees choose the cheapest bid, leading to missed deadlines, poor workmanship, and legal disputes that can completely derail their opening.

  • Every delay burns cash and can kill a unit before it starts: Construction delays mean months of paying rent, staffing costs, and loan payments without revenue – often draining franchisees before they can even open.

  • No consistency = a fractured brand: Without a controlled process, each location is built differently, leading to subpar customer experiences, off-brand finishes, and costly compliance failures.

Franchisees don’t have the expertise to manage commercial construction. If franchisors don’t control the process, their brand and expansion strategy suffer.

    • Provide direct franchisor oversight to ensure quality and compliance.

    • Deliver locations move-in ready, fully compliant, and on-brand.

Turn Construction Into a Revenue Stream

1. Revenue Share on Every Buildout

Every time a franchisee opens a new location, you earn a percentage of the total project cost. Instead of letting third-party contractors take all the profits, you participate in the financial upside.

  • Earn a share of every franchise buildout, from full construction to refreshes.

  • Generate ongoing revenue as your brand expands.

  • Offset internal support costs, making your franchise system more profitable.

2. Profit from Bulk Pricing & Standardization

By working with Framework, you lock in lower pricing on materials and labor through national agreements. Franchisees pay market rates, while you capture additional margin on negotiated savings – creating pure profit without additional overhead.

  • National pricing = better margins for the franchisor.

  • Lower costs = faster franchisee break-even and higher success rates.

  • Consistent pricing & quality = stronger brand standards.

3. Preferred Vendor & Construction Management Fees

Franchisees rely on you for guidance, support, and approved vendors. With Framework, you can charge administrative or oversight fees for managing the construction process.

  • Vendor management fees for handling project oversight.

  • Standardized construction pricing creates an opportunity for additional margins.

  • Your team stays in control, ensuring all work aligns with brand standards.

4. Recurring Revenue from Maintenance & Repairs

Franchisees constantly deal with maintenance issues, from HVAC repairs to cosmetic upgrades. By standardizing facility management with Framework, you ensure reliable service while creating a new, recurring revenue stream for your system.

  • Earn a percentage of ongoing maintenance and repairs.

  • Eliminate low-quality, inconsistent vendors by centralizing maintenance.

  • Extend the life of franchise assets with proactive facility care.

Turn Construction into a Long-Term Asset

Instead of seeing construction as an expense, use it to create a scalable revenue model that supports your franchise system. Every project contributes to your bottom line, ensuring:

  • More profitable franchisor → Every new unit generates income.

  • Faster openings → Franchisees get to revenue sooner.

  • Consistent buildouts → Brand standards are met across every location.

  • Lower long-term costs → Preventative maintenance extends asset life.

  • Recurring revenue → Ongoing maintenance provides reliable income.

With Framework’s Turnkey Franchisor Buildout Program, you’re not just opening locations – you’re building a more profitable, scalable, and sustainable franchise system.

Stop Gambling on Your Growth

Franchisees shouldn’t be left to figure out construction alone – it’s too risky and too costly. A structured, repeatable buildout process protects your brand, accelerates expansion, and ensures every location is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest standard.

Every day a unit is delayed, franchisees bleed money and risk failure. Every bad contractor decision can result in a unit that never opens.

A structured, repeatable buildout process ensures franchisees succeed, and franchisors can scale with confidence.
