The Retail Fit Out Process
Step 1: Free Initial Consultation Meeting
Meet with our team to discuss your project proposals and bounce your ideas off our professionals.
Step 2: Building Survey
An assessment of your building to inspect the interior, exterior, visible and accessible parts of the building for any potential issues, problems or defects, and a written building survey report thereafter to highlight any findings.
Step 3: Design
An inclusive process between yourself, our architects and interior designers to form a fully fleshed out detailed concept design. This includes how your project will look, feel and function.
Step 4: Fit Out
The actual build and workmanship that takes place to bring your retail unit fit-out up to standard and your brand to the forefront.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What are the benefits of a Design and Build Contract?A design and build contract incorporates everything you need from a legal standpoint in one document. Thus ensuring you are covered from start to finish and that the necessary protections for you and your project are in place.
-
What if I already have my own Architectural Drawings?If you already have your own architectural drawings to hand, then that is no problem at all. We can work alongside your existing architectural drawings, discuss your project requirements, and help you make that next big step in your project journey.
-
Why is Design and Build faster?Since all required pillars of the construction process are in one place the Design and Build method is unequivocally faster, and more streamlined. The Design and Build method allows all aspects of your project to be scheduled, created and completed much more quickly than the traditional methods our competitors use.
-
What if I already have a design I like?If you already have a design for the project of your dreams, we welcome you to discuss them with our team. We’ll help you take the next step on your project journey.
-
What is the advantage of full Design and Build?With a full Design and Build contractor like the VDB Group, you get a single workflow for all of your project needs. In essence the architect, engineers, construction managers, and main contractor are all under one roof, and are on the same page - removing the headache of dealing with multiple parties at once.
-
Do I need my own architect?No, we provide every necessary project component and professional from the get-go so there is not a requirement for you to have your own architect.
-
Why is Design and Build more cost effective?Design and Build is more cost effective for many reasons. Discussing your budget at the design phase rather than waiting for bids to come in from construction contractors helps to keep your project within your required budget. Also, communicating the cost implications of design decisions from the outset ensures that your expectations are managed and you’re in control when arriving at a final project cost.
-
What is an FAQ section?An FAQ section can be used to quickly answer common questions about you or your business, such as “Where do you ship to?”, “What are your opening hours?” or “How can I book a service?” It’s a great way to help people navigate your site and can even boost your site’s SEO.
-
What’s the difference between renovation and restoration?One could say it comes down to renewing or restoring. A ‘renovation’ would be replacing your old oak window frames with brand new aluminium frames, for example. Whereas a ‘restoration’ would be to bring your old 50’s kitchen worktops back to their former glory, or bring back an original feature of an old building that may have been lost to time. Here at VDB we specialise in both.
-
How do I restore a listed building?Dealing with a listed building is a beautiful endeavour, but one must tread carefully. One needs an architect, potentially an engineer, most definitely a competent construction manager, and a whole lot of know-how to stay on the right side of the law. If you are looking to renovate your Grade Listed project don’t hesitate to get in touch so we can guide you through the process.
-
Is renovating my home or commercial property worth it?The short answer is it depends. You would need to ask yourself a few questions; What do you intend the renovation for? Are you planning on selling the finished property? Will you be living in the property? If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us and we’ll help you to clear the fog and decide whether your renovation is worth your while.
