Dilapidation Works for Newly Renovated and Existing Retail Stores
As part of the major regeneration of Lincoln’s Cornhill Quarter, BTG Eddisons required comprehensive dilapidation works across a portfolio of retail units. This included a mix of both newly refurbished stores and existing premises, all needing to meet high standards ahead of occupation by leading fashion brands.
APSS was appointed to deliver dilapidation works across several properties, including units for Whistles, Hobbs, and Phase Eight, ensuring each retail space was compliant, functional, and ready for commercial use.
