A
store planner plans and produces architectural drawings for
new stores, design-builds, rehabs to suit, expansions, relocations, remodels, and refurbishments for various retail
locations. With design approval from the client, the
store planner produces material takeoffs and communicates
these, as well as the approved plan, to the construction team.
In addition to the technical building side, a store planner
must also work with the store owner to understand their business
plan, branding and marketing strategy, and make sure that
the store designs conform to and reinforce the owner's business
goals. Thus, a store planner helps achieve bottom-line
growth for stores after each project.
