In the retail industry, the look and feel of a building can be crucial to a company’s success. A retail store’s atmosphere can be the difference between keeping a loyal customer base and going out of business. Thus, the design and construction of a space can echo throughout the lifespan of a company.
Retail construction requires an awareness of the long-term effects of projects, as well as an efficient design and construction phase. In order to meet a client’s advertised opening date, general contractors must maintain a precise schedule. Oftentimes this means ensuring that subcontractors have completed their work effectively and on time.

Common Retail Project Types:
- Buildouts: A buildout involves a contractor demolishing the property on a space in order to rebuild one that fits the needs of the space’s new tenants.
- Storefront: In a storefront project, a contractor is hired to remodel the front of a store in order to attract more foot traffic.
- Remodels: Remodeling includes renovating and upgrading an existing space.
- Rebranding: Rebranding, like remodeling, includes revamping an existing property. However, rebranding is less involved than remodeling and is focused on changing or upgrading the look of the client’s space.
- Sustainability: A sustainability project is a project where the contractor helps a company update their space and “Go Green.”
- Turnkey: Turnkey projects involve a client hiring a contractor to build or remodel a company for the client to eventually sell.
