Local projects in Glasgow
In Glasgow we mostly see pharmacies and healthcare premises and high street units and corner shops. Each has its own landlord rules, service loads and access limits, which we look at on the first visit.
West Central Scotland has the country's largest retail concentration, with city-centre units, shopping centres and suburban parades all needing building warrant approval for structural fit-out changes.
What does the work include?
- Serving counter with display and hot holding
- Kitchen line layout and stainless fabrication
- Extraction canopy and odour control
- Wall cladding and coved flooring
What approvals might you need in Glasgow?
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.
- Wall finishes must be smooth, washable and non-absorbent in food areas.
- Hot food takeaways need planning permission for the use class, and many councils restrict new takeaways near schools.
