Design-build and shopfitting under one roof
Retail projects are usually split between a designer, a local shopfitter and a contractor — three contracts and three chances for a detail to go missing. Standchi is a retail design and manufacture company: concept, 3D design, store fixtures, custom millwork and bespoke joinery come from one team and one Istanbul workshop.
- Design: circulation, sightlines, display density, lighting and brand surfaces resolved together.
- Manufacture: wall systems, gondolas, display platforms, cash wrap and window units produced to measure.
- Delivery: flat pack shipping worldwide with numbered parts and video-guided installation — no crew to fly in.
What a retail fit out covers
Three elements decide how a store sells. Each has its own page:
- Window display & visual merchandising — the platform, the lighting and the changeable backboard.
- Shelving & store fixtures — wall systems, gondola units and LED-integrated displays.
- Checkout counter (cash wrap) — a workstation and the brand's last impression.
Also relevant: retail lighting, feature surfaces and, for a smaller footprint, mall kiosks.
How much does a shop fit out cost?
Shop fit out cost is driven by four things: floor area, how much custom joinery there is per square metre, material segment and lighting complexity. Because we manufacture in our own workshop and ship flat pack, two lines that inflate a normal retail build-out — local subcontractor margins and a travelling installation crew — largely disappear from your quote.
- Design fee: store design starts at €1,250, and is deducted in full from the production invoice if we also manufacture the fit out.
- Timeline: design takes ~15 days; manufacturing starts at one month and scales with size. Freight is quoted separately by destination.
- Budget control: the approved 3D design fixes the scope before production starts — useful when the same concept has to be rolled out to more than one store.
How we handle it at Standchi
We start from your floor plan and product range: concept and layout first, then a full 3D design you approve, then production with photo and video updates at every stage. Everything is test-assembled in the workshop before packing and ships as numbered flat pack modules — your own team or a local fitter puts it together in days. For multi-store rollouts the same modules repeat, so the second store costs less than the first.
