New Construction vs Existing Retail Space
When an installation is required in a retail space during construction it is therefore similar to the majority of other commercial installations. However the difference being that the spaces are generally more distributed as discussed above and there is less space to install the cabling. Subsequently this is to have the cleanest aesthetics as possible within the store. Therefore minimal ceiling space and containment that has to avoid many of the areas
In contrast installing into an existing retail space has its own challenges. Coupled with a store full of merchandise you also have an architecturally challenging space. Generally retail space is usually solid ceilings with minimal access hatches
In this case the IT cabling services almost exclusively take place out of hours when the retail space is empty. This is to avoid the customers and allow movement around the merchandise
