Challenges
Bluestones One Team were the principle contractor and provided site management cover for every store.
Working through the night over 5 nights per store, the challenge was to complete the store phasing and racking rebuilds to plan. Merchandise all the stock to planogram, build new displays, implement POS and rebranded any plumbing customer service desks.
Planning and execution were imperative to ensure that all work was completed to a high standard and that the store was ready to trade the next day.
