Nando’s, the internationally recognised restaurant brand, is known for creating vibrant and welcoming dining spaces that reflect its unique identity. When planning the fit-out of its Edinburgh location, Nando’s required a contractor who could deliver high-quality interior finishes, including partitions, feature ceilings, and suspended ceilings, all while maintaining strict deadlines and brand standards.

Our team was selected to complete these works as part of the restaurant’s refurbishment and fit-out project.

The Challenge

The project presented several challenges:

•Tight programme: Work had to be completed in line with a strict construction schedule to allow the restaurant to open on time.

•High design standards: Nando’s interiors are distinctive, combining bold aesthetics with practical functionality.

•Feature Ceilings – Constructed bespoke ceiling details to highlight key dining areas and enhance the restaurant’s visual identity.
