For new construction
Get the entrance right while it's still a drawing.
On a new retail or commercial build, the entrance is decided early and lived with for decades. It's worth twenty minutes at design stage.

New builds give you the one thing a retrofit never does: the chance to match the entrance to the traffic before anything is fixed in place. Opening widths, operator type, power provision, structural support for a revolving door — all straightforward now, all expensive later.
Retail in particular gets this wrong in a predictable way. An entrance specified for the architect's render rather than for Saturday trading becomes the thing that fails in the second Christmas. We'd rather ask what the busiest hour looks like.
We work through the build programme with the main contractor: coordinated site requirements, realistic lead times, installation timed against the rest of the fit-out, and commissioning documentation ready for handover and the building's first compliance cycle.
What matters to you
- Specified for real traffic
- Operators matched to peak-hour throughput rather than to average use, so the entrance survives its busiest day.
- Coordinated site requirements
- Power, structure and builder's work identified early and communicated to the contractor in writing.
- Programme-aligned installation
- Install windows planned against the fit-out so the entrance isn't the thing holding up completion.
- Handover and compliance
- Commissioning records and documentation ready for the building's compliance schedule from day one.
