Capturing accurate information about your store estate, the category layouts, fixtures and planograms
Our experienced surveyors will tailor the contents of your retail store survey to your project requirements, the desired outcome and your budget.
Working throughout the UK and Europe, we will obtain the information you need for any scale of project, whether at a single location or a multitude of sites.
Our surveyors use both digital-laser and traditional survey methods as appropriate, and we can deliver your information as 2D CAD plans, 3D models, an interactive StoreView® experience or a Matterport digital twin.
Who we work with
Store surveys tailored to your specific needs
We understand the importance of cost-effectively capturing the information you need. We will work with you to agree the specification to achieve the desired balance in cost, quality and time whether you require the information for construction, equipment and space audits or project roll-outs.
Architectural retail surveys
If you have recently purchased a site and are planning construction works or are altering a site you already own, we can quickly and accurately capture detailed measurements in a laser survey and deliver the data to your project team’s desktop, enabling them to start work immediately.
This intensive programme involved 255 concession surveys in 25 European countries in 18 months, with each survey completed and data delivered within two weeks of the commission.
