Our Retail Construction Process

We follow a structured, collaborative approach that guarantees smooth execution and optimal results:

1. Initial Consultation & Site Survey

We begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals, site constraints, target customers, and operational requirements. Our team then conducts a detailed site survey to assess the land, accessibility, and feasibility of the proposed design.

2. Design Coordination & Planning

Working with architects and designers, we ensure your retail unit is visually appealing, compliant with UK building regulations, and optimised for customer experience. We also assist with obtaining planning permissions and meeting health, safety, and accessibility standards.

3. Construction & Structural Build

Once plans are finalised, we manage all core construction activities including:

• Groundworks and foundations
• Structural framework and walls
• Roofing and external cladding
• Windows, doors, and shopfront installation
• Drainage and utility connections

4. Interior Fit-Out & Systems Installation

The internal space is customised to match your retail needs. We handle:

• Partition walls and ceilings
• Flooring and lighting
• HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems
• Fire safety systems and alarms
• Countertops, shelving, and customer zones

5. Final Finishes & Handover

We carry out the final touches to ensure a polished, brand-ready unit. Every build goes through a rigorous quality check before handover, and you’ll receive all compliance documentation, certificates, and warranties.
