01Retail areas included in review
A shop consultation can cover the frontage and main entrance, customer path, product displays, billing counter, owner or manager position, cash and record storage, trial or consultation spaces, stock room, staff area, electrical equipment and water points. Different formats—such as jewellery, clothing, grocery, pharmacy or professional service—use space differently, so the actual retail activity should be described rather than relying only on a generic plan.
02Details about the unit and operation
Share the shopping street or complex context, floor level, shop dimensions, road or corridor position, shutter and door locations, dependable north direction and current or proposed trade. Mention customer volume, deliveries, storage needs, fitting rooms and any fixed landlord services. If the shop is leased, identify changes the agreement allows. This information lets the review distinguish movable fixtures from elements that must remain untouched.
03Floor plan and storefront uploads
Upload a plan showing the complete retail boundary, entrance width, counters, racks, partitions and back-of-house areas. A simple measured sketch can work when a formal drawing is unavailable. Front elevation and interior photos may clarify signage, access and display depth. Remove customer data, invoices and other unrelated records from images. Clearly label a proposed layout as proposed so it is not mistaken for the existing condition.
04How the shop plan is examined
The review begins with access and orientation, then considers the relationship among customer movement, merchandise, billing, management, storage and services. Questions can be discussed before lease signing, before fit-out or while reorganising an operating shop. Observations are not a sales forecast and should be balanced with merchandising, accessibility, fire safety, security, licensing, lighting and advice from retail design and business professionals.
05Online review for small businesses
Owners can submit the plan and use video consultation to point out existing fixtures or compare a proposed arrangement. Phone and WhatsApp options are available when a screen review is unnecessary. A single contact person should identify the main decisions and collect accurate measurements first. Online consultation is suitable for many units outside Chennai, including family businesses abroad, subject to clear plans and appointment confirmation.
06Requesting a retail site visit
An on-site request may be useful when the unit has irregular levels, multiple entries, shared frontage or measurements that cannot be understood from the drawing. The client must arrange access with the owner or shopping centre and confirm that photography or measurement is permitted. Site availability and scope are quoted separately. Sending a preliminary sketch remains important because it helps identify what should be checked during the visit.
07Other Vastu services for commerce
A large display-led property may fit the Showroom Vastu service, while manufacturing and dispatch need Factory Vastu or Warehouse Vastu review. Restaurants require attention to kitchen, service and guest areas through the hospitality page. For a shop with a separate office, describe both functions in the enquiry. The team can clarify whether one combined review or distinct consultations will better match the property.
08Questions to settle before retail fit-out
List which counters, shelves and signs are movable, where electrical and network points already exist and what the landlord will permit. Add any accessibility route, emergency exit and security requirement that must stay clear. A short record of these constraints makes the consultation more useful because suggestions can be discussed against the real unit instead of an idealised empty rectangle.
