Deliver a welcoming environment that drives foot traffic and sales with custom Melbourne retail fitouts

Did you know that 70% of purchasing decisions are made at the point of sale? 

That’s why the layout, design, and overall feel of your Melbourne retail space are more than a chance to showcase your branding. A well-designed and conversion-focused retail fitout can significantly influence customer behaviour, drive sales and boost your bottom line.

The challenge is, that creating an inviting and efficient retail environment can be a daunting task for many business owners. How do you navigate complex design considerations? How do you stay on the right side of building codes? And how can you confidently manage construction timelines and budgets?

At PGDC, we answer these questions by designing and installing modern, inviting and sales-focused fitouts throughout Melbourne. With years of specialised experience, we understand the intricacies of retail space design and construction.

We’ll help you:

  • Maximise space with 2D and 3D designs
  • Invite customers to stay (and shop) longer in-store
  • Increase brand recognition and become a memorable location
  • Showcase your products and make it easy for customers to make a purchase

Our skilled team is dedicated to transforming your vision into a reality, ensuring that every aspect of your fitout is optimised to enhance customer experience and boost sales.

Signs your store would benefit from an updated floor plan

Are you wondering whether now is the right time to transform your retail floor plan?

If you recognise any of the challenges below, your store is perfectly placed for an upgrade.

“My store has an outdated design” – If your store’s design feels stuck in a previous decade, it may be time to refresh. Trends in retail design change rapidly, and an outdated space can deter modern consumers.

“I’m not using space effectively” – Struggling with the layout of your store? If your current setup doesn’t maximise the retail space for optimal flow and product display, a fitout can address these inefficiencies.

“My shop is showing serious wear and tear” – Signs of wear, such as scuffed floors, peeling paint, or damaged fixtures, can significantly impact the customer’s perception of your brand. A refreshed space communicates quality and care.

“I’m looking to change my brand or target market” – If your brand has evolved but your physical space hasn’t, it’s time to align your store’s design with your current brand identity and target market.

“I’m facing compliance or accessibility issues” – Ensuring your space complies with the latest building codes and is accessible to all customers is not just good practice; it’s a legal requirement.

“I’m seeing a drop-off in customer engagement” – If you notice a decline in customer engagement or foot traffic, the physical environment could be a factor. An inviting, well-designed space can attract more customers.

“I’m thinking of expanding or downsizing” – Changes in your business size or the range of products you offer might necessitate a fitout to make the best use of your space.

Solving these problems is what we do every day at PGDC. With a focus on innovative design, functionality, and customer experience, our team is equipped to transform your space into an environment that reflects your brand, engages your customers, and enhances your operations.

How long do retail fitouts take to complete?

The timeline can vary significantly based on several factors, including the size of the space, the complexity of the design, the extent of structural changes, and the efficiency of the team.

To give you a general idea, here’s a rough estimate of how long the project might take:

  • Small Retail Spaces (up to 100 sqm): Approximately 3-6 weeks
  • Medium Retail Spaces (101 – 500 sqm): Approximately 6-12 weeks
  • Large Retail Spaces (500+ sqm): 12 weeks or more, depending on the complexity

Factors Influencing Timeline:

 

  1. Design Approval: The time it takes for the design concept to be finalised and approved can impact the start date.
  2. Permit and Approvals: Obtaining necessary permits and approvals from local authorities can vary in time and is critical before construction can begin.
  3. Custom Fabrications: Custom-made fixtures and features might require additional time for fabrication and delivery.
  4. Structural Changes: Significant structural modifications can extend the timeline due to the complexity of the work involved.
  5. Supplier Timelines: The availability and delivery timelines of materials can influence the project duration.
  6. Unforeseen Delays: Challenges such as unexpected structural issues or delays in supply chains can extend the timeline.

How can I identify a professional retail fitout company?

✓ Portfolio of Completed Projects: Look for a diverse portfolio showcasing a range of retail fitouts. Professional companies often display their work on their website, highlighting their capability in various sectors.

✓ Client Testimonials and Reviews: Read testimonials and reviews from previous clients. Feedback on Google, forums, or the company’s website can provide insights into their reliability, quality of work, and customer service.

✓ Credentials and Accreditations: Check for relevant licences, certifications, and memberships with industry associations. These credentials indicate that the company adheres to industry standards and practices.

✓ Comprehensive Services: Professional companies offer end-to-end services, from design and planning to construction and project management. This ensures a cohesive approach throughout the process.

✓ Transparent Quoting Process: Look for transparency in the quoting process. Professional companies provide detailed quotes, explaining costs, timelines, and the scope of work, helping you avoid unexpected expenses.

✓ Effective Communication: Professional companies prioritise clear and consistent communication. They should be responsive, keep you informed throughout the project, and be willing to discuss any concerns or changes.

✓ Project Management Capabilities: Evaluate their project management approach. Professional companies employ experienced project managers to oversee your fitout, ensuring it is completed on time and within budget.

✓ After-Sales Support: Post-completion support is a sign of a professional outfit. Check if they offer warranties, follow-up services, and maintenance, which reflect their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
