CTS has extensive experience in project leading construction fit outs and refurbishments for new supermarkets and retail outlets – handling every aspect from site clearances and feasibility studies through planning, design, build, fit-out and handover.
With our own dedicated and experienced teams in feasibility and design, health and safety, quantity surveying, and project and site management, we will oversee every aspect of a new construction development, from small new regional retail outlets to a multi-million pound flagship supermarkets.
As our sister company, CTS Decorating Services, provides professional painting and decorating, we can also ensure the perfect finish every time.
We have led many large new build projects from planning to completion, as well as dozens of smaller local developments – overseeing every aspect of the job for our clients.
Using our own dedicated ‘Touchpoint’ project management system, we are able to efficiently plan and coordinate all activities throughout each stage of a project, enabling smooth running at all times and minimising delay and risk.
Every project is meticulously planned and managed, ensuring clear communication with all sub-contractors, and a single point of contact for our clients, who we involve in regular briefings, at every stage, enabling them complete transparency as to how the project is being run and managed.
AT CTS we take great pride in our reputation for ensuring the highest safety standards on the construction sites we manage.
We are recognised by leading industry bodies for the standard of our work, procurement, Health and Safety and competence as a principal contractor, as well as being Achilles ‘Building Confidence’ accredited.
Our Health & Safety culture is led by our own in-house department, who support on all projects. In 2024, our team was awarded a Certificate of Achievement from Construction Safety Solutions, scoring 100% four times in succession in inspections at two Waitrose development sites in Scotland, and we were also recognised at the 2024 Sainsbury’s Property Strategic Partner Awards.
Our highly-experienced team will project manage from start to finish.

Our Google Reviews
"I had a great experience working with the team at CTS. The first meeting established trust and a clear understanding of our needs as a client, the tender process was transparent and detailed, and the project and site management throughout the fit-out delivered everything I look for in a general contractor. Communication was clear, responsive, and frequent, and the planning and quality of work were of a very high standard for their first project with us. I highly recommend their services."
