Our Retail Renovation Process
1
Discovery & Planning
We begin by understanding what drives your business—whether that’s increasing foot traffic, improving merchandising flexibility, or elevating your brand experience. A detailed walkthrough helps identify what’s working and what isn’t, so we can deliver a renovation plan that aligns with your goals, schedule, and budget.

Design-Build and Permitting
Our design-build approach ensures smooth coordination between design intent and construction execution. Whether you bring your own architect or lean on our trusted design partners, we collaborate to refine layouts, lighting, materials, and mechanical systems that align with retail code and branding. Permitting and documentation are handled efficiently to keep your project moving.

Construction & Execution
We know retail timelines are tight. That’s why we emphasize detailed planning before construction begins — from permitting to material lead times — so once we’re on site, work moves smoothly and efficiently toward your reopening date.
