Retail design & commercial

- Customer flow and spatial planning

What this includes:
- Flagship store design and concept development
- Retail rollout frameworks and adaptable store formats
- Interior architecture, layouts, finishes and detailing
- Sustainable design considerations (where appropriate)

What this includes:
- Site surveys and technical drawings
- Detailed design coordination
- Value engineering support (without diluting the concept)
- Planning, Building Regulations and landlord approvals
- Specifications and contract documentation (including JCT where required)

What this includes:
- Site administration and contractor coordination
- Programme oversight and quality control
