Summary
Fitting your shop is a high-stakes financial and commercial project. This guide details the complete method.
Step 1: define project before furniture or design
First mistake is rushing to aesthetic choices. Define activity, target clientele, positioning, economic model, star products. These answers drive 90% of the fitting.
Step 2: provider choice and design phase
Three profiles: interior architect, independent carpenter, integrated fitter. For shop project, integrated fitter generally best. Design phase 2-4 weeks.
Step 3: construction from manufacturing to installation
Manufacturing 3-6 weeks. On-site installation: prep works 1-3 weeks, finishes and furniture 1-2 weeks, final setup. Delivery day key moment.
Step 4: mistakes to avoid
Underestimating budget. Neglecting design office. Copying competitor without understanding. Success: listen, invest in lighting, don't neglect finishes, budget 10-15% reserve.
