Retail Stores

Your stores can’t make money with the door blocked. Your inventory is an investment, and it must be protected. To support these priorities, the NU-TEK team stages the inside of retail stores as much as we stage outside. 

This may include covering or wrapping higher-priced and environmentally sensitive items. Frequent manager check-ins, inspections, and responses to changes based on what we are doing on top of the building produce better outcomes.

Our crews are available to work off-hours as necessary to reduce disruptions in in-store traffic and help your managers maintain sales objectives during retail store projects.

Your retail store building is also an essential part of your brand image. Landscaping, hardscape, signage, and decoration are crucial ways to communicate your brand. 

A parking lot restricted by disorganized piles of roofing materials, equipment, and smoking roofers looking for parts directly opposes your desired brand experience.

Experienced partners like NU-TEK train their teams to these priorities. We stage our materials discreetly and focus first on guest safety and second on brand experience.

Our goal is to be invisible to your customers. We care about the people in your building. As members of our inclusive corporate culture, our teams are all trained in the diversity and respect of retail stores and surroundings.

About NU-TEK

We manage retail stores’ projects from design to preconstruction, procurement, construction, and close-out. Nu-Tek’s project management process focuses on the total solution – not only on our efficiency but also on your tenants’ operational efficiency, safety, and convenience.   

Many of our retail stores’ building operator relationships started with the first, and sometimes only, roof replacement they ever did. Our recommendations are based on the building needs, owners’ priorities, and holding strategies.

NU-TEK Roof Systems can deliver retail stores high-quality roof systems on time and at a lower cost with our proven project management process, supplier relationships, buying power, and focus on change order management and cost mitigation.

Safety & Continuity

Retail stores are public-accessible spaces.

As part of the safety program, our risk assessment process determines the best-controlled set-up, staging, and phasing to protect against injuries, property damage, and potential false claims.

Roofing projects are very much about business continuity for your managers. Planning and working on the plan is crucial – mitigating risks to electrical, internal networks, POS systems, and HVAC. We recognize that retail stores’ commercial roofs are systems, not leaks, and address the whole roof, not just the problem you face today.

Communication

With 30 years of retail stores’ commercial roofing experience, we know the value of frequent communication.

We have experience in simple things like proprietary site registration systems. With short, regular check-ins, we can keep retail store managers confident and undistracted.

We are also comfortable closing the inevitable gaps in communication continuity created by the rotation schedules typical in retail environments. 

Project Management

Our project managers define and scope projects, facilitate the design process, create a work breakdown structure, risk management plan, and project schedule, record and manage scope/change control documentation, and monitor and report budget results.

We aim to get in, do the job quickly, and be the least disruptive. Our retail stores’ planning process includes:

• Safety Plan: Outlining fall protection, personal protection, occupant protection, and public protection across the entire commercial roof replacement project.
• Staging Plan: Outlining access of employees to the roof, the location of roofing equipment, and the staging areas for toilets, chutes, dumpsters, cranes, or other significant on-site elements.
• Phasing Plan: A working document that outlines the anticipated daily work area for coordination with building management and store managers. This will also detail the days and times that have the most significant impact on building users, such as when the roof is being actively removed overhead or the drilling of concrete for mechanical anchors is taking place.

Your Retail Store is an Asset

Your store is an asset, and that asset needs to be produced. Store or system downtime, property and personal damages, future leaks, and premature roof replacements all cut your return on investment.

Organizations that work with NU-TEK mitigate the risk of unexpected roof issues interrupting their business, disturbing guests, and causing financial losses.
