THE STARTING POINT
Why the owner
called us.
The owner was taking over a tired commercial unit and needed a practical front-of-house space before opening. The reception desk, waiting area, lighting and storage all had to work within a compact footprint.
The brief we agreed
- Make the entrance and reception easy to understand
- Provide useful counter and storage space
- Create a comfortable waiting area
- Coordinate the fit-out around an agreed opening plan
BEFORE & AFTER
The work, made visible.
Drag the line to compare the same viewpoint before and after the agreed work.
BeforeAfter↔WHAT WE DID
The decisions behind the result.
Start with the visitor route
The reception point is visible from the entrance, with a clear path between the door, counter and waiting area.
Build useful storage in
The measured reception desk and shelving give everyday supplies their own places.
Coordinate the trades
Electrical points, ceiling work, painting and joinery followed one sequence before final checks.
THE AGREED SCOPE
The work behind
the finished space.
- Site protection, strip-out and agreed preparation work
- Listed partitions and wall preparation
- Electrical points, lighting and ceiling work
- Floor finishing and agreed entrance adjustments
- Measured reception desk and built-in storage
- Painting, fitting checks, final clean and handover
The quotation listed the exact materials, quantities, exclusions and payment milestones. Extra work needed written approval before proceeding.

CHECKED BEFORE HANDOVER
Choose the finishes.
Then coordinate the work.
The owner confirmed the counter dimensions, materials and lighting choices before ordering. That gave the trades a clear plan and reduced late changes near opening day.
- Reception dimensions and clearances checked
- Lighting and agreed electrical points tested
- Cabinet doors, shelves and hardware reviewed
- Work waste removed and customer areas cleaned

Plan your shop or office fit-out★★★★★
“Daniel asked how customers would use the front area before planning the counter. We had one clear schedule for the ceiling, wiring and carpentry. The six-week fit-out gave us time to arrange our equipment, and the team dealt with the small touch-ups before handover.”Lina
