STUDIO PLUS regularly assist franchisees and retailers with shop layouts by outsourcing our expertise.  We design the internal spaces from shelving and fitting layouts to wall finishes, indicate fire escape routes, do installation drawings and most importantly make sure the shop comply with the SANS regulations.

Spatial planning is retailer specific and we work together with an assigned team from the retailer to make sure we produce exactly what is expected of us and more.

@HOME NORTHGATE MALL

Introduction

STUDIO PLUS received drawings from on the 15th of August 2018 for an @Home store in Northgate Mall to be submitted.  

Problem Statement

We found the drawings and info not to be council ready and lacking some key information to ensure a speedy process at council.

Solution

The Store Design Manager from TFG called a meeting with their in-house designers, all the points highlighted by STUDIO PLUS were raised and attended to. 

The drawings and supporting documents got amended and STUDIO PLUS received the revised items back in the shortest possible time.

Time Frame

  • Plans and docks received initially 15 August, Studio Plus checked the plans and made recommendations.
  • TFG amended their plans and docs according to the recommendations made.
  • STUDIO PLUS received the revised drawings on 30 August 2018.
  • Plans were couriered to our Joburg consultant prepped, and submitted to council on the 5th of  September 2018.
  • Council approval received on 10 September 2018.
  • TIME IN COUNCIL: 5 working days.

Conclusion

This goes to show what can be done if we get all our info 100% correct before submitting and the importance of building relationships in council!
