SCOPE

Sourcing, engineering, manufacturing, freight and installation

01 Overview

Carpet Court is a national flooring and interiors retailer. The Studio is its new small store format, designed by Carpet Court's design agency. SAPP's role was to make it real: source, value-engineer, manufacture, test, freight and install.

‍

02 The Brief

The design was first presented to SAPP on 20 December. The full store had to be produced and installed in time for the Carpet Court conference in Cairns in May. The finished store had to match the approved design, in materials that could be supplied at rollout quantity.

‍

03 The Approach

SAPP matched the light timber tones and slat detailing in the design, then selected the two best-matching finishes plus polished aluminium on match, availability and cost together. Fixtures were pre-notched to assemble cleanly on site, and every unit went through strength and weight testing before sign-off.

‍

04 Execution

The Carpet Court team visited the factory in China during production and worked through the detail with SAPP. Lighting, bollards and extra fixtures were added along the way. Units were flat-packed, with packing sheets mapping every pallet position so the install could start as soon as the freight landed. SAPP's own team delivered and installed the fit-out.

‍

05 The Result

The conference Studio was delivered and installed on schedule in May, despite a start five days before Christmas. The design intent held from concept to install. The Kingston Studio followed, completed in October.
