Barr Wins Waitrose Fit-Out Contract

A fit-out contract for a new supermarket at Burghmuir in Stirling has been awarded to Barr Construction.

The firm will design and deliver the entire interior fit-out of the 25,000 sq ft Waitrose store, due to open in early 2013.

Barr will be on site for about six weeks, with up to 70 members of the team working on the project.

Barr will install the flooring, ceilings and internal walls, refrigeration, electrical and mechanical plant, shelving and decoration.

This latest development will mark the fifth Waitrose in Scotland, adding to the existing outlets at Byres Road in Glasgow, Newton Mearns, and Morningside and Comely Bank in Edinburgh.

285 car parking spaces are to be located at the new store, including seven parent-and-child spaces and 12 for the less able.

Barr’s construction manager Derek Simpson: "Barr has a track record of delivering stores for the major retail chains and it is especially pleasing to be involved in our third project with Waitrose.

"Only the external envelope was complete when we took over the project at the end of November and we are now managing all elements of the fit-out works.

"It’s a challenging timescale we’re committed to which spans the festive period, but we are confident of delivering another quality store in plenty of time for its opening early in the New Year."

Waitrose Construction Manager Gary Kind said: "We have established an excellent relationship with Barr Construction since first working with them on our Newton Mearns store.

"They have a clear understanding of what our customers expect from our branches so we are able to deliver a first-rate shopping experience.

"Our new Stirling store will not only enable us to increase our presence in Scotland, but build on our growing reputation for quality and service in the region."
