Where this service is commonly required
Frequently asked questions
- Can the store be ready before opening every day?
- That is the usual aim of a retail scope. Pre-open tasks and the standard expected at opening are agreed in writing, along with the access arrangements needed to achieve them.
- Who is responsible for shared areas in a centre?
- It depends on the lease and centre rules. During scoping we clarify what is the tenant's responsibility and what centre management covers, so the scope does not overlap or leave gaps.
