Retail approval drawings are the documents a department store requires before it approves a new shop-in-shop. They combine dimensioned 2D plans, elevations and shopfront details with 3-4 3D renderings, so the store can check your concept against its guidelines and sign off with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What drawings does a department store like Illum require?

A department store approval package usually includes dimensioned 2D layout plans, dimensioned elevations, shopfront elevations with specifications, and 3-4 3D renderings that show the concept clearly from several angles.

What is a shopfront elevation?

A shopfront elevation is a straight-on, dimensioned 2D drawing of the front face of the shop-in-shop, including sign placement, sign depth and finish, logo position and wall heights - the details a store checks against its guidelines.

Can you work from the store's existing plans?

Yes. I work directly from the existing 2D store plans the department store provides, so the new fixtures are dimensioned correctly against the real space.

Do the renderings come with the drawings?

Yes. The 2D drawings and the 3D renderings are delivered together as one approval package, so you have everything the store needs in a single hand-off.

How fast can the package be delivered?

A simple concession of a few fixtures can be delivered within a few working days. Tight approval deadlines are usually workable when the existing plans and fixture dimensions are ready.
