Retail fit-outs often run to tight timelines, with multiple contractors working together to ensure a new space is ready for opening day.
Alongside the design, shopfitting and electrical work, thereâs also an important layer of safety and security systems that must be installed, tested and commissioned before the doors open.
From fire alarm systems to CCTV and access control, these systems play a crucial role in protecting both people and property once the store begins trading.
We recently supported the opening of the new Rituals boutique at Wilton Shopping Centre in Cork, delivering the fire and security systems alongside Temple Electrical as part of the wider project team. Itâs a good example of the coordination that goes on behind the scenes to ensure everything is operational ahead of opening day.
Weâve written a short article explaining what happens behind the scenes before a retail store opens, and the role fire and security systems play in the process đ
