There are numerous potential pitfalls to deal with
in rolling out retail outlets. During our time in
shop fitting we believe we have seen most of them!
In house
specialist skills. A range of specialist skills
is required such as architects, quantity surveyors,
planning supervisors, building regulations specialists
and sometimes, structural engineering. At Turn Key
we provide all of these skills within our package.
This is particularly attractive
to retail businesses who wish to develop a network
of stores but would prefer not to incur the significant
overhead cost of bringing all of these skills in house.
We have detailed experience in book
stores, sportswear, pharmacies, furniture showrooms,
electrical stores, supermarkets, car showrooms, banks,
building societies, pubs and clubs. We deal with several
major retail chains & museums and have completed over
700 shop fit-outs.
Retail
architecture. In the field of architecture
for retail premises, we find that our retail specialism
frequently proves to be of considerable value to our
clients. Developers architects tend to design with
the landlord's requirements foremost in mind.
We design with our client's particular
retail activity in mind. We have seen some beautiful
concept drawings for retail outlets; but when we see
the detail of the design we have found that inside
window cleaning is not facilitated, or totally inadequate
provision has been made for storage of stock. We have
even seen offices designed into flat roof space -
which was the only permissible location for the store's
air conditioning equipment! |
