Client Objectives

The retailer required:

• A high-quality, consistent fit-out aligned with brand guidelines
• Seamless integration of store fixtures
• Completion within 12 weeks, with zero delays to the scheduled store launch
• Robust quality assurance processes to meet corporate compliance standards

Challenges

• Scale and complexity: The store covered 80,000sqft, requiring extensive planning and staged rollouts of equipment
• Just-in-time delivery: Perimeter and CFE components were shipped in phases and had to be installed in sequence
• Tight tolerances: All fittings, especially in high-traffic zones like tills and fitting rooms, had to meet exact positioning and safety standards
• Live centre constraints: Operating within a busy shopping centre required careful management of deliveries, noise, and shared access routes

Solutions

• Zoned installation strategy: The store was divided into clearly defined work zones, with phased rollouts to streamline workflows and prevent trade clashes
• Dedicated on-site project manager: Oversaw daily progress, coordinated trades, and liaised with centre management for smooth site operations
• Just-in-time logistics: Close collaboration with the client's supply chain enabled timed deliveries of key components to avoid on-site storage issues
• QA at every stage: Implemented progressive sign-offs and pre-handover checks to ensure brand compliance and a snag-free finish
• Adaptable workforce: Our experienced joinery and fit-out teams flexed across zones to support high-priority areas when needed

Results

The project was delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest quality standard, ready for a successful store opening. All fittings and fixtures passed internal client audits, with the Leeds White Rose store recognised as a model site for future large-format store launches.

This fit-out highlighted PJ Interiors' capability to handle high-volume, multi-zone retail spaces, ensuring seamless coordination, premium finishes, and full brand alignment under pressure.
