Project type: Retail

The design of retail developments is a collaborative process including both engineers and architects. The structural design of the project is the responsibility of the engineer, but the overall layout and look of the project is the responsibility of the architect. They must work together to produce a design that is both useful and safe, as well as visually beautiful.

To begin the process of designing a retail project, it is necessary to first understand the demands of the client. The engineer and architect must then design a floor plan that fits the requirements of the client. Before building can commence, the customer must give his or her approval to the floor plan.

Upon receiving approval of the floor design, the engineer and architect will begin working on the specifics of the construction project. They will choose materials, finishes, and fixtures that are suited for the project’s requirements. In addition, they will construct a lighting plan and choose furniture and fixtures that are complementary to the overall style of the space.

Throughout the building phase, the engineer and architect will collaborate to ensure that the project is constructed in accordance with the requirements they have provided. Inspections will also be carried out at various stages of the building process to verify that everything is proceeding as planned.
