3. Complete Retail Documentation – RD1 to RD5
Retail fit-out projects, particularly those located within shopping centres and commercial developments, often require structured documentation before construction or refurbishment can proceed.
At Innovative iTech, we help businesses prepare and coordinate RD1–RD5 retail design and technical documentation packages, tailored to the requirements of individual landlords, shopping centres, and project specifications.

This stage develops the approved concept into more detailed architectural and technical information.
Documentation may include:
Detailed floor plans
Internal elevations
Ceiling and lighting layouts
Shopfront specifications

RD3 – Building Services & Technical Coordination
Retail fit-outs require careful coordination of building services and existing infrastructure.
