Retail Fit Out

We transform empty shells into extraordinary retail environments through our comprehensive commercial fit-out services. Whether you’re a property developer preparing retail spaces for market, a consultant with existing specifications, or a brand seeking a bespoke shopping environment, we craft complete retail solutions tailored precisely to your specific requirements. Our expertise spans both CAT A and CAT B fit-outs, allowing us to support clients at any stage of their retail development journey.

What We Deliver

For property owners and investors, we provide comprehensive retail design development and specification of all base building elements to maximise rental potential in the competitive retail market. For consultants and project managers, we offer precise technical execution to bring retail specifications to life while ensuring compliance with commercial regulations.

Our CAT A services deliver complete mechanical and electrical installations including retail-appropriate HVAC systems, lighting, power distribution, and building management systems. We install high-quality flooring solutions, ceiling systems, and develop core facilities essential to modern retail environments.

Our CAT B services include complete retail space division solutions with storefront designs, display areas, fitting rooms, and specialised floor finishes. We implement tailored lighting schemes to highlight merchandise, power and data infrastructure for POS systems, and integrated technology systems essential for today's shopping experience. We deliver retail interiors that align with brand identities, from wall treatments to custom graphics, and handle all fixture and display installation to create compelling customer journeys.

Our Approach

For property owners seeking to maximise retail asset value, our process begins with a comprehensive assessment of retail market requirements and building potential, followed by strategic specification development that enhances lettability while controlling costs.

For brands requiring comprehensive service, we begin with in-depth consultation to understand your retail requirements and brand identity, followed by strategic store planning and creative design development tailored to enhance the customer experience.

For consultants and project managers with established plans, we provide detailed technical analysis, value engineering recommendations, and quality implementation with minimal disruption to trading environments.

In all cases, we conduct thorough site assessments, prepare or refine construction documentation, secure necessary approvals, and manage the entire retail construction process. We coordinate all trades, handle fixture installation, system commissioning, and provide thorough handover including training and documentation. Our process ensures retail spaces are delivered to the highest standard, supporting sales operations while providing flexibility for seasonal changes and future needs.
