Supporting Your Retail Design Vision

At Retail Project Management (RPM), we understand that good design is the foundation of every successful retail project. While RPM does not provide in-house design services, we work closely with experienced retail designers to help transform your ideas into practical and achievable project plans.

Our role is to support the design process by ensuring that concepts are aligned with project requirements, budgets, and timelines. By collaborating with trusted design professionals, we help clients move from initial ideas to workable solutions that can be successfully delivered on site.

Over the years, RPM has built strong relationships with skilled retail designers who understand the unique requirements of commercial and retail spaces. When needed, we can refer clients to experienced designers who can help develop concepts, layouts, and detailed plans.

This collaboration ensures that every project begins with a strong design foundation and clear direction.

RPM continues to support the design process throughout the project by coordinating between designers, subcontractors, and suppliers. This ensures that the final build accurately reflects the design vision while maintaining quality standards and project timelines.

Building trust through our work

We deliver quality construction

I’ve worked with Aaron for 15 years across both Kiwi Property and now Tailor. At Kiwi, he and his team handled all tenancy reconfigurations, defits, and fitouts across the Auckland portfolio, managing programmes, costs, quality, and H&S while operating within strict quiet‑enjoyment requirements in live centres. His attention to detail, fair pricing, and ability to resolve issues quickly made him exceptional to work with. Since moving to Tailor, I’ve continued to use Aaron across our landlord and retail brand clients, and regardless of scope or location, his service quality has remained consistently high.

Aaron is an exceptional project manager and craftsman, known for his organisation, site management, and meticulous attention to detail. His high standards are trusted by brands like Coach, True Alliance, and Smart Sushi. His pricing is fair, his outcomes consistently high, and I confidently recommend him for retail and hospitality projects.
