Retail spaces are all about attracting footfalls into the store. Therefore, when it comes to customer impressions, needless to say, a retail has to maintain a certain decorum. They say first impressions last a long time and if you want your retail to be memorable, one of the best ways to redefine your store is to engage in commercial fit outs.
If you’re not yet aware of what this is, let us explain. Over the years, a property or a space keeps undergoing wear and tear. With commercial fit outs, you get to revamp the same ol’ boring space and breathe life into it through interior fine tuning. This includes updating fixtures and furniture, changing the store layout, bringing some aesthetic upgrades to the mix. In a nutshell, giving your retail space a makeover!
Now if you’re thinking of commercial fit outs, professionals like our Advanced Construction and Shopfitting (ACS) can help you brainstorm some revolutionary changes to your retail space, but before we talk upgrades and makeovers, let us explain our commercial fit out process to you.
Step 1
Preparing The Plan
One of the most important stepping stones of the process is planning. This includes establishing guidelines, understand the pain areas, scoping out the problem areas, devising a rectification plan, understanding the brand and planning the aesthetics around it, preparing documents and paperwork, etc.
Step 2
Assessing and Consulting Proposals
Once the plan or the basic blueprint is ready, out commercial fit out experts will assess the changes and create a proposal on what needs to be upgraded and how. We believe in maintaining complete transparency which is majorly we make sure retail owners are always in the loop. We discuss proposals with you and wait for your approval.
Step 3
Talking Commercials
Terms of contract protects both the parties’ interests and therefore should be discussed and agreed upon before we start the fit out process. We’ll chalk up a detailed terms and contract paper. On approval, we’ll move on to the next phase.
Step 4
Detailing Approved Designs
The initial steps outline the designs. In this step, we’ll provide a detailed insight on how the fit outs would work out and how the implementation of new fixtures will change the look and feel of the landscape.
Step 5
Implementing The Plan
With all the details ready in place, we’ll set out on our construction and fit out work. Prior to this, we’ll discuss timeline and detailed programme with our contractors to make sure the work is not just smooth but time sensitive too.
Step 6
Checking the Punch List
Every fit out process comes with a list of improvements and changes. This is handed over to the contractor who makes sure everything is in sync to this list. At the end of the fit out process, we match the punch list to the work done before closing the deal.
Step 7
Discussing Aftercare Service Scope
The right commercial fit out professional will always make sure your retail makeover is nothing short of exemplary. As an added service, based on your requirement, we can even work out an aftercare service scope to help keep your fit outs refreshed for an extended period of time.
