Finding the Best Shopfitters

Updated: Mar 8, 2019


If you have decided to open up a shop in Sydney or the nearby area, Shopfitters Sydney can help you out. Shopfitters can help you create a trendy looking shop. They will make sure that your project will be finished on time and there will be no miscommunication along the way as well. You also need to work through a process with them. There are cafe shopfitters Sydney who can help you out with your needs as soon as you have decided to open up a shop. Working with shopfitters will make your project seamless and worry-free as well.

Make the details final

If you are working with shopfitters Sydney, the initial step is to make the details final when it comes to the plan and the cost. At this point in time, you must take time to check the plan and some working details of the fixtures along with the fittings given by the shopfitter. If you want to make some changes with regards to the original plan or there are some other things that you may want to add, this is the best time for this. This is also the time to get the end quote for the fit out.

Though most of the cafe shopfitters Sydney have their suppliers for the fittings and the personalized designs, you can let them know if you have suppliers for certain materials. The fitters will surely be happy to work with your contractors just to provide you with a great outcome. You must be available for meetings with the fitters to discuss even the smallest details like the color combinations and others which will be involved in the project. You must also discuss the color and the style of the closures, ceiling colors, finishing for the fixtures and others.

Contract signing

The next step is the contract signing. If you work with the shopfitters, you need to sign a contract that’s approved by the Australian Shop and Office Fitting Industry Association. It’s the approval body. You can check if the form has the logo of the said association to be sure that it’s a legit company. It’s important to take note that every contract differs depending on the shopfitters, so you need to go through the contract before you sign it. You must know exactly what you are signing for. If you want to change a contract that you have signed, you can still do that. This is called variation, and the shopfitters will not have any problem with this request at all.

Making the first payment

It is but natural for the shopfitter to come up with a request for a deposit after you have just signed the contract. You will be asked to give at least 40% of the total amount. The next payment would be when the fittings and fixtures have been made in the warehouse, but before the work starts in your shop.

Make sure that there is an insurance

Are you aware of an insurance plan? It’s not unusual to ask for insurance from your shopfitters for them to cover the fixtures and the fittings while they are in the factory and while they are taken to your shop. This may also cover for the entire construction.
