Four disciplines.
One pilot.
From rollout strategy to opening, Pilostone works where your real estate projects are won or lost: early on, in the decisions and the numbers, then on site.
Retail rollout
Opening ten, fifty or two hundred stores takes a well-tuned machine. We build it and we run it.
- Rollout kit: managing its development with your designer (template specifications, standard details, reference cost plan)
- Procurement strategy, framework agreements and a qualified contractor panel
- Multi-site PMO: master schedule, milestones, risks and consolidated reporting
- Coordination with landlords, shopping centres and local authorities
- International brands opening in France and across Europe, pop-up stores and network remodels
Construction strategy
The best savings happen before ground is broken. We help you decide fast, with the right numbers.
- Technical and regulatory audits of sites and estates (fire safety, accessibility, HVAC)
- Feasibility studies and technical lease review
- Reference budgets, benchmarks and estimates per store typology
- Masterplans and multi-year investment plans
- Concept optimisation and value engineering
Project management
A single point of contact who defends your interests and tracks schedule and budget, from sketch to snag clearance. Your programme’s continuity never depends on a single supplier.
- Client-side project management (owner’s representative)
- Delegated project management
- Scheduling, management and site coordination
- Outsourced construction manager, reinforcing your team during a peak in activity
- Budget tracking, change orders and claims management
- Support with handover, snag clearance follow-up and fire-safety inspection preparation
- Turnkey offer through a consortium with qualified contractors, with Pilostone as your pilot
- 360° photo capture of the site (initial survey, progress, handover), with a tour link shared with your teams and all parties
Fire-safety compliance
Outdated or incomplete works permit, fit-out changed since, fire-safety inspection announced: we build an action plan and support the regularisation.
- Fixed-fee compliance review: fire alarm system, smoke extraction, evacuation, accessibility
- Retrieval and review of existing files (works permits, notices, inspection reports)
- Action plan and interim measures ahead of the fire-safety inspection
- Support with preparing and following up the works permit file, interface with the inspection body, shopping centre and landlord
- Two parallel tracks: regularising the existing fit-out and the target fit-out
Your site,
viewable in 360°.
We capture 360° photos of your sites and give you a tour link that opens on a computer, tablet or phone, with no app to install.
- Pre-works survey, shared with the architect, the inspection body and the contractors
- Remote progress monitoring, for your headquarters or teams abroad
- A record of the delivered store, useful for future works and maintenance
