Night-time, phased works, within the shopping centre's hours and rules. The area is handed back operational each morning. The store sells the next day.
Closing a store for works has a cost that doesn't appear in the works budget: the lost days of sales. In a well-performing store, that number almost always exceeds the difference between working by day and working by night. And there's the rest, which isn't measured in euros: the regular customer who finds the door closed and starts going elsewhere, and the idle team still being paid.
A day of a closed store costs more than the difference between working by day and working by night.
- Electrical and infrastructure adaptations
- HVAC and extraction adaptation
- Replacement and installation of equipment (refrigeration, counters, water heaters)
- Complementary furniture and joinery
- Warehouse and technical-area adaptation
- Store image update
- Small remodels carried out in phases
- It starts with a site visit while the store is operating, to see what can be done without stopping the operation.
- We design the phasing plan around the store's real hours and the shopping centre's rules: permitted hours, noise limits, material circulation, loading access.
- Each night: isolation and protection of the area and existing installations, execution, final clean and check before reopening.
- The area is handed back operational every morning, without exception. If a phase can't be completed within the night, that phase isn't started.
For those with a store estate
A chain with dozens of stores generates interventions every year: end-of-life equipment, concept change, technical adaptation, image update. We do them as a programme, not as isolated works. That means we already know your stores, your standard and the centres you're in, and that the second intervention starts faster than the first.
