Fixed opening dates
Rent commencement and marketing launches do not move. We build the schedule backwards from opening day, order long-lead items at signing, and report weekly against the only milestone that matters.
Sectors — Retail
Retail
Retail construction is a race run inside someone else’s rules: the landlord’s design criteria, the mall’s working hours, the brand’s standards manual — and a lease that starts charging rent whether you are open or not.
What this sector demands
Renovating retail spaces well
Landlord criteria, handled
Design-criteria compliance, hoarding standards, after-hours coring and mall-rules logistics are familiar ground. Approvals get shepherded, not awaited.
Brand standards, faithfully built
Franchise and multi-store brands live and die on consistency. We build from the standards manual, source specified materials, and photograph everything for brand sign-off.

Questions
Retail renovation, answered
Can you renovate our store without closing it?
Often, yes. Overnight phasing behind clean hoarding lets stores trade through refreshes — we build, clean and open the zone by morning. Full remodels sometimes justify a short closure; we will give you both schedules and the honest trade-off.
Do you handle mall landlord requirements?
Yes — design criteria submissions, insurance, hoarding graphics, security escorts, after-hours deliveries and coring windows. GTA malls each have their own rulebook, and following it well is a schedule advantage.
How fast can a retail unit be built out?
A typical inline mall unit runs 6–9 weeks from possession to opening, assuming permits are secured during the design period. Compressed schedules are possible with early material orders — the first two weeks after lease signing decide the whole timeline.
