Refurbishment for Retail & Commercial Premises
Customer-facing premises where trading hours and presentation govern the programme.
Retail and customer-facing premises are unforgiving on timescales. Work is generally sequenced around trading hours, delivery access and the date the space has to open.
What tends to matter most
Trading continuity
Night and early-morning working, hoarding and dust control protect trade during the works.
Fixed open dates
Programmes are built backwards from the opening date, with long-lead items ordered early.
Shopfront and envelope
Glazing, shutters, signage fixings and entrance areas carry the first impression.
Landlord approvals
Alteration consents and reinstatement obligations are identified before work begins.
