How do we plan the job?

For Livingston jobs we confirm loading and parking arrangements early, because access often shapes the programme as much as the build itself.

In and around Livingston we are usually asked to work on cafés, takeaways and independent restaurants and high street units and corner shops.

What is included?

Display walls, gondolas and counters
Flooring, decorating and final clean
Measured survey and floor plan
Strip-out and making good
Partitions, drylining and ceilings

What should Livingston owners check first?

Shopfitting inside a trading centre often has to run out of hours, so ask for a night-work price early.
Fire alarm, emergency lighting and escape signage must be commissioned and certified before you open.
Landlord consent and the lease's fit-out guide usually need sign-off before work starts.

In Scotland, most fit-out work that alters the building needs a building warrant from the local authority before work starts, followed by a completion certificate. Planning permission and advertisement consent are separate, and Scottish councils publish their own shopfront design guidance.

Questions about retail shopfitting in Livingston

How soon can work start in Livingston?

Surveys are usually booked within one to two weeks. Your quote includes a start date and a dated programme.

How long does a retail fit-out take?

A small unit of 50–100 m² usually takes two to four weeks on site once drawings and landlord consent are agreed. Larger stores or jobs with a new shopfront run longer. We give you a dated programme with the quote.

Can you work around our existing shop while it trades?

Yes. We phase the work, screen off live areas and do the noisy and dusty trades out of hours so the shop can keep taking money.

Is the survey free in Livingston?

Yes. We survey units in Livingston and across Lothian free of charge, with no obligation.
