Retail Build Without the Headaches
You’ve got the design sorted. Now comes the risky part. Retail builds are where things tend to fall apart - timelines slip, costs creep, contractors go missing, and suddenly your “small fit-out” becomes a full-time job you didn’t sign up for. That’s where we come in. Greater Group manages and delivers retail fit-outs with a level of control most SME projects simply don’t get. We bring structure, accountability, and proper execution to the build phase - so your store opens when it’s meant to, and looks the way it should. No guesswork. No chasing trades. No nasty surprises at the end.
Before we start, we will need:
To set the build up properly (and avoid problems later), we’ll need: 1. Approved design drawings and specifications 2. Site details and access conditions 3. Timeline expectations (including any fixed opening date) 4. Budget and cost constraints 5. Landlord / mall requirements and approvals 6. Any existing contractors or suppliers you want included If something’s missing, we’ll tell you upfront - better early than mid-build.
What we'll do for you is:
We take control of the build phase - and keep it under control. Plan it properly - Review drawings and scope for buildability - Align programme, sequencing, and timelines - Identify risks before they become problems Run the site - Coordinate all trades and contractors - Manage day-to-day execution and site activity - Ensure works are progressing as planned Control cost, time, and quality - Track budget and flag issues early - Keep the programme tight and realistic - Maintain build quality and finish standards Manage suppliers and fabrication - Oversee joinery, fixtures, and installation - Coordinate deliveries and site logistics - Ensure everything turns up when it should Get it over the line - Handle defects, snagging, and final adjustments - Prepare the space for handover - Make sure you’re ready to open on time
What we'll ultimately deliver, and when:
A completed retail fit-out - built properly, handed over clean, and ready to trade. Most small-scale retail builds are delivered within 3–6 weeks, depending on scope, site conditions, and approval processes. You’ll get: 1. A fully executed fit-out aligned to the approved design 2. Quality finishes and properly installed fixtures 3. A coordinated, hassle-free build process 4. A space that’s ready to open - without last-minute panic
