Nowadays, many products can be bought online. This has caused traditional bricks and mortar shops to seek ways to differentiate themselves. One way they do this is by providing experiences in-store. For example, a high street footwear chain might hold DJ sets. This will require shopfitters to install lighting rigs and stages.

A shop fitting is the process of preparing and installing a retail store. It involves a number of steps, starting with a survey and measurement of space. Then, the design is prepared and submitted to the client for approval. The fitter arranges the purchase of standard equipment and merchandise or the production of bespoke furniture, which is delivered and installed. The entire process takes time and effort, but it is worth the investment if you want to create an inviting and attractive retail environment.

Energy efficiency
In a world where most products can be bought online, bricks and mortar shops need to find ways to differentiate themselves. One way they can do this is by providing experiences that cant be replicated elsewhere. This requires a different kind of shop fitting and the skills needed to install things like lighting rigs, stages and art installations.
Aberdeen city council is participating in The Interreg NWE ACE-Retrofitting project, which is a European funded scheme to tackle energy efficiency. The aim is to make it easier for residents in tenements and flats in Aberdeen to improve their homes and save money on their fuel bills and carbon emissions. They have a dedicated website which provides information and tools to help people reduce their energy usage.
Environmentally friendly
Many UK retail shoppers are familiar with the FSC logo, which can be seen on everything from toilet tissue and tea packaging to tool handles and teak garden furniture. But few realise that it also applies to the racks and shelves they browse, as many of Britains leading shopfitters have now become certified under this scheme.
Its easy to understand why this has happened, with retail chains increasingly aware that customers consider their green credentials when they buy. The most visible sign of this is MSs Plan A strategy, which aims to have all timber for store construction and fit-out come from FSC, or otherwise protected forests or recycled sources.
This has encouraged many retailers to turn to their shopfitters to help them meet these targets, and they are often willing to work closely with suppliers to reduce the environmental impact of their designs.
For example, BRE has developed a simple web-tool to help retailers, designers and manufacturers evaluate the environmental performance of their interior fit-out designs, which uses established and respected UK and European data from Ecoinvent and primary industry sources. It is also able to calculate embodied carbon in terms of Ecopoints and helps identify opportunities to improve design and material efficiencies.
