Retail Design Engineering

In this stage we'll identify the project goal, research, and source materials. We'll work with you to establish retail fixture requirements, capacities, and modularity. Throughout this process we'll refine design internet based on manufacturing constraints and deliver full concept renderings.

Retail Store Environment Identification

At this stage our team works to plan the store layout and overall space. Our creative team is planning windows and merchandising while our construction teams are working on site evaluation, survey, permitting and regulatory factors that may affect the project.

Retail Engineering + Estimating

Clients receive Piece-part drawings, initial forecasting reports, and preliminary pricing information. It is at this step that clients have the opportunity to review bid packages and select domestic, overseas, or hybrid manufacturing options.

Prototyping Fixtures

During this stage clients receive proof of concept and we complete vetting to ensure the fixtures selected will work with respect to scale, spatial fit, and overall aesthetic. From here, fixture designs are further refined. 

Client Prototype Approval

Collaboration with clients on design prototypes thus far allows us to gather insight and perspective on any potential improvements or changes.

Engineering Updates

We refine our final design and update the engineering prototype as per the feedback acquired in the previous step.

Fixture Production

At this step we fabricate the first article and review it with the client. If everything looks good, we have the custom tooling created. Then we engage both our quality control and production release process to start manufacturing the fixtures all with providing transparent updates to the customer throughout production.

Retail Construction Management [Build-Out]

We will fully manage the build out process from concept through installation.

Logistics And Installation

At this stage we install and fulfill the client order, confirm functional use of the concept as intended and determine any necessary enhancements or additions. We stay in close communication with customers throughout their store opening or reopening to support the successful launch of the new fixtures and / or environment.
