Shop & Retail Renovation


For a shop or cafe, the renovation has one job above all others: finish on time so you can open and start trading. A delayed fit-out is lost revenue and, often, a lease you are paying for but cannot use. TAKAWA renovates shops, cafes and retail spaces across Chiang Mai with the opening date as the fixed point everything else is planned around.

Scope of work

  • Shop, cafe, restaurant and salon fit-outs and refurbishments
  • Layout changes, counters, display areas and storage
  • Finishes, flooring, ceilings, lighting and signage support
  • Plumbing, drainage and ventilation for food and beverage spaces
  • Power and data suited to point-of-sale and equipment

Finished in time to open

Retail timelines are unforgiving. We plan the programme backwards from your opening date and manage the site closely to protect it. Because we use our own workforce and machinery and keep materials in our own warehouse, we are not held up waiting on outside trades or deliveries — the single biggest cause of fit-out delays. If something does shift, you hear about it early, with options.

Why TAKAWA

We agree scope and price from a BOQ before work starts and track spend through our ERP system, so the budget stays clear through to handover. Whether it is a single cafe or a chain of retail units, we bring the same scheduling discipline that we apply to much larger projects.

Frequently Asked Questions


Can you finish in time for my opening date?
Hitting the opening date is the whole point of a shop renovation, so we plan the programme around it from the start. With our own workforce and machinery we are not waiting on third parties, which makes the schedule far more dependable.
Do you renovate cafes and restaurants too?
Yes. Cafes, restaurants, salons and similar spaces are common shop renovation work. These need extra attention to plumbing, drainage, ventilation and power, which we plan early.
Can you work within a leased unit and its building rules?
Yes. We are used to working inside leased retail units and shopping locations, coordinating with building management and working within their hours and rules where needed.
How do you keep the cost clear?
We agree the scope and price from a BOQ up front and track spending through our ERP system, so the budget stays clear right up to opening day.
