Fitted Out After Hours. Trading on Opening Day.

Bubbleology · Eldon Square, Newcastle

A full electrical fit-out for a new Bubbleology unit inside a major shopping centre, delivered to the centre’s strict access rules and out-of-hours windows, tested and certified, and handed over ready to trade on day one.

The challenge

A Shopping Centre Never Really Shuts

Fitting out a unit in a live centre is as much about access and timing as it is about the electrics: work around the trading day, to the centre’s rules, and hit an opening date that won’t move.

Centre Access & Permits

Inductions, permits and booked delivery windows, all signed off with centre management before a tool came out.

Out-Of-Hours Working

Noisy and disruptive works carried out overnight, so the centre traded as normal through the day.

A Fixed Opening Date

An immovable opening day: the whole programme was worked back from it, and it held.
