Contracting is the foundation of any successful pub refurbishment project. The contracting process, however, can be challenging for both contracting parties and the final pub refurbishment results are often not considered until after the contract has been signed. This blog will consider all aspects of contracting relationships including:
- Why does contracting locally matter?
- How do good contracting relationships influence the final pub refurbishment results?
- How do good contracting relationships benefit the pub / restaurant owner?
- What about customer experience in my pub / restaurant?

Why contracting locally matters
Contracting locally means contracting with people who understand the area and your business, know how to work within speed of your contracting team and meet deadlines. This will ensure that the contracting process is completed in a timely manner so you can focus on what matters most – running your pub and restaurant successfully.
How do good contracting relationships influence final pub refurbishment results?
A good quality relationship with your contracting team means that the outcomes for your pub and restaurant are of a high standard. Delays or sub-par contracting work can lead to issues with the final pub refurbishment results, which is why contracting locally with trusted partners matters in terms of high style, great value and customer satisfaction.


How do good contracting relationships benefit your pub and restaurant?
Contracting relationships play an important role in ensuring the final pub refurbishment results are of a high quality and meet both parties’ expectations. By listening to the experts you are working with, you can learn a lot. We listen to our contractors and the people we work with, knowing that when we go to site and need some extra advice, we can get extra advice on how to make things work.
When we meet with our plumbers, decorators and builders on site and ask for opinions, it reveals details and insights that we can take forward in the project and planning process.
Contractors working on The Thatched Tavern
High-quality decorators, Dean Black, commented on their experience working at The Thatched Tavern:
As a scheme, it all worked so lovely. The colours and tones in the decorating work beautifully with Fruition’s styling. This refurbishment has made this very traditional pub look very modern. It’s kind of unusual, for example, the was the beams look; now is very sophisticated. It’s down to the styling of the pub refurbishment, the colours, the finishes, and of course the furnishings – the tables, chairs and banquettes.
