What automotive retailers expect from a contractor
Showroom projects require a different approach to standard retail. Works need to be precise, well managed and delivered with an understanding of how dealerships actually operate.
Our automotive clients typically look for:
- Construction planned around live trading
- Careful adherence to manufacturer and brand standards
- Minimal disruption to customers, staff and vehicle movement
- Safe, well-controlled sites in public-facing environments
- Sustainability and energy upgrades that do not interrupt operations
- Clear communication with dealer principals and management teams
Working around live showroom operations
Many showroom projects are delivered while the dealership remains operational. We plan access, sequencing and timing carefully so customer experience and sales activity are protected throughout.
This often involves phased delivery, out-of-hours works and close coordination with site teams to maintain a professional, welcoming environment at all times.
Brand-led delivery
Automotive brands place high importance on consistency and presentation. We understand how important it is that finished spaces reflect manufacturer and dealer standards.
Our teams work to detailed specifications, paying close attention to build quality, finishes and layouts so spaces support both brand requirements and everyday use.
Solar and energy upgrades for automotive sites
More automotive retailers are investing in on-site solar and energy improvements to reduce operating costs and meet sustainability targets.
We deliver solar installations and associated works for showrooms and dealership facilities, planned carefully around live trading. Safety, coordination and seamless integration are prioritised throughout.
Safety and control in public-facing environments
Showrooms are busy spaces with staff, customers and high-value vehicles moving through them every day. Site control and safety are essential.
We use clear segregation, controlled access and disciplined site management to ensure works are carried out safely without affecting customer confidence or operational flow.
Clear communication and coordinated delivery
Showroom projects involve multiple stakeholders, from dealer management to manufacturer representatives. We keep communication structured and practical, with clear reporting and proactive coordination throughout.
This helps keep everyone aligned from early planning through to completion and handover.
A trusted partner for repeat and rollout works
Many automotive clients work with Lochlie on a repeat basis, supporting refurbishments, upgrades, solar installations and multi-site rollouts.
Our role is to provide consistent, reliable delivery as dealership networks evolve and requirements change.
