Retail Fit-Out in Cardiff. From bare shell to opening day.
Opening or refreshing a shop in Cardiff? We design the layout, make the counters, display walls and changing rooms in our Quay Point workshop, handle the landlord submission and install it all with our own team.
We would rather tell you upfront what your budget will and will not stretch to than surprise you halfway through. That honesty is why so much of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals.
Quick Answer
A retail fit-out in Cardiff typically costs £40,000 to £90,000 for a 50 to 100 square metre shop and £90,000 to £250,000 for a larger shopping centre unit, excluding VAT. Most projects take 2 to 3 weeks of design, 3 to 6 weeks of manufacture and 2 to 4 weeks on site. OLLYWOOD makes every fixture in its own Cardiff workshop.
