In terms of design for the building, refurbishment or fit-out of your retail store, we will firstly meet with you, our prospective client, where we will conduct a full site visit at the existing or proposed retail premises. This will allow us to identify any design issues early on and will also be an opportunity for you to speak and us to listen! Tell us what you want to achieve and we will provide our expert advice and work hard to bring your vision to reality.

Following on from our on-site consultation, we will then work together with our architects to produce existing and proposed drawings and plans for approval by you as our client before any commencement of works on your retail project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We commissioned a team to carry out the interior renovation work for our salon, LoA Tokyo, as we prepared to open our space in the Northern Quarter.

From start to finish, the work was handled with great care and professionalism. The overall quality of the finish was excellent and  every corner of the space was completed to a high standard, and the attention to detail throughout the project really stood out.

The team was very accommodating and flexible, kindly supporting us through multiple changes along the way. They were also helpful in assisting with small additional repair works on some furniture, which we truly appreciated.

As we are from different countries, we often had questions and uncertainties, and their responsiveness made a huge difference. In particular, John stood out for his quick communication and consistent support, which made the whole process especially smooth and reassuring for us.

Overall, we felt well supported throughout the project, and we are very happy with the result. We would confidently recommend the team for their professionalism, quality of work, and helpful approach.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I honestly can’t thank Freemont enough for everything they’ve done in helping us bring our new dental practice to life.

From start to finish, nothing has ever been too much trouble. Their support, guidance, and the input they’ve allowed me throughout the process has been unbelievable, they’ve gone above and beyond at every stage and made what could have been a stressful journey feel seamless.

What’s been created is something really special. Every single person who has set foot into the practice so far has been absolutely blown away, they don’t just think it’s nice, they genuinely think it’s out of this world. That speaks volumes about the care, attention, and expertise that’s gone into it.

We spend such a huge part of our lives at work, and the environment that’s been created is beyond anything I could have imagined. It’s not just a workplace, it’s somewhere we genuinely feel proud to be, and very lucky to have.

A huge thank you to Charles, John, Richie, Paul J, Paul L and the many people behind the scenes who have played a huge part in making this happen, and I’m incredibly grateful to every one of them. I don’t think I’ll ever quite get over the fact that this is our place of work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Excellent experience with the team at Freemont Building Ltd. They managed the development of our Stockport clinic with great attention to detail. Converting the space into a modern dental facility with multiple surgeries required a high level of technical skill, and they handled everything from the structural elements to the final dental equipment installation seamlessly. Very happy with the quality of work and their professional approach.
