shopping centre development

At Wates, we use every ounce of our talent and expertise to safely deliver our promise to customers: a quality product on time and on budget, every time. Shopping centre development involves an in-depth understanding of the drivers for the developer, retailers and end-users.

We are experienced in delivering technically challenging city centre developments – our ability to deliver technical solutions to the problems of restricted, tight sites saves programme time and cost.  We understand that for retailers time is money, so delivering on time is vital.  Through our proactive and strategic supply chain management, we deliver on time and on budget, with early cost certainty through effective and focused pre-construction expertise.

More reasons why you should choose Wates:

  • Our experienced teams have considerable expertise at working with local authorities in developing the street works that accompany Shopping Centre projects.
  • We are able to assist with the street theme issues in terms of planning permissions for shop frontage.
  • We understand the interface with the public is essential in enhancing the reputation of our clients and factor that into our planning.
  • We have a proven track record of delivering capital and operational cost savings.
  • Rigorous standards of health and safety, programming, cost and quality.
  • Customers enjoy the confidence generated by site teams who understand the value of creating strong relationships
