Why WEC for Franchises
Assessing Space Requirements
Every franchise location has unique requirements. We perform franchise test-fit analysis to ensure each site — whether retail, fitness, restaurant, or service — meets operational needs and brand standards. From precise 2D layouts to optimized customer flow design, we maximize every square foot so your franchise is built to thrive. 👉 Learn more about our 2D space planning services.Second & Third Generation Franchise Fit-Ups
Franchises often expand into second- and third-generation retail spaces. We help franchisees repurpose and adapt existing spaces, identifying which build-out elements can be reused and which must be upgraded. This saves time, reduces costs, and ensures every location looks current and aligned with franchise requirements.Cost-Efficient Demolition & Repurposing
Demolition is sometimes necessary for a proper fit-up. WEC provides franchise demolition planning that minimizes disruption and waste while repurposing existing infrastructure wherever possible. This approach keeps projects cost-efficient while maintaining speed to market.Franchise Tenant Improvements
Tenant improvements are critical to meeting brand and operational standards. We provide itemized franchise tenant improvement plans that align with franchisor identity guidelines and optimize functionality. From flooring to lighting to branded finishes, we ensure every improvement builds long-term value.Maintaining Franchise Brand Consistency
Franchise success depends on brand consistency across all locations. WEC works directly with franchisors to ensure that each design element reflects brand values and customer experience goals. We guarantee every space delivers a consistent, on-brand experience for both new and repeat customers.Franchise Lease Negotiation Support
Securing a lease is only half the challenge. We give franchisees critical data for lease negotiations, including projected build-out costs, tenant improvement allowances, and opening timelines. This ensures franchisees negotiate from a position of strength with landlords.Franchise Project Management Support
While we don’t replace full general contractors, WEC provides franchise project management support that keeps your fit-up or test-fit organized and on track. From space layouts to 3D visualizations, we supply the documentation and expertise franchisees need to manage contractors, stay within budget, and open on time.
Marketing Support for Franchise Growth
Our 3D photorealistic renderings, 360° tours, and fly-through videos are more than just planning tools — they’re powerful marketing assets. Franchisors and franchisees use these visuals across websites, email campaigns, social media, and even text messaging to attract customers and new franchise prospects.
By showcasing your future space in an immersive, realistic way, you can market locations before they even open and strengthen brand credibility in every market you enter.

Photorealism
3D Photorealistic Renderings for Franchises
Our 3D photorealistic renderings give franchisees and franchisors a clear vision of their location before construction begins.

Beyond planning, our renderings double as marketing assets — perfect for websites, social media, and sales presentations to attract customers and franchise prospects. With WEC, you can see your franchise location in vivid detail and make faster, more informed decisions.
Franchise BIM Modeling Support
Building Information Modeling for Franchise Fit-Ups & Test-Fits
Building Information Modeling (BIM) goes far beyond traditional 2D or 3D layouts. At WEC, our Franchise BIM Modeling Support gives franchisors and franchisees a powerful way to visualize, simulate, and manage every aspect of a new or existing location.
Here’s how BIM enhances franchise fit-ups and test-fits:
Detailed Digital Models – We create BIM models that capture layout, materials, mechanical systems, and finishes — ensuring your franchise build-out meets both brand standards and operational requirements.
Visualization & Simulation – Franchisees can “walk through” their space virtually, test different layouts, and simulate lighting, traffic flow, and functionality before construction.
Collaboration & Integration – BIM coordinates architects, engineers, and contractors in one model, reducing conflicts and costly changes during build-out.
Consistency Across Locations – Franchisors can replicate brand standards across multiple sites, while still adjusting for local conditions.
Cost & Timeline Efficiency – BIM identifies potential issues in advance, helping to control budgets and speed up franchise openings.
Lifecycle Support – Models include data for future renovations, energy management, and maintenance — ensuring long-term value for franchise networks.
With Franchise BIM Modeling Support, WEC enables faster approvals, reduced risk, and consistent brand execution across all franchise locations.
Here’s how WEC will provide BIM Modeling services, especially for test fits for franchise locations:
1. Creating Detailed Models: WEC will create precise and detailed BIM models of franchise locations. These models will include all physical and functional characteristics of a building. This means not just the layout and design but also details like the type of materials, electrical systems, plumbing, HVAC systems, and more.
2. Visualization and Simulation: Our BIM models will allow clients to visualize the franchise space in a highly realistic manner. They can walk through the building, understand space utilization, and even simulate different scenarios like sunlight at different times of the day or year. This helps in making informed decisions about the design and functionality of the space.
3. Collaboration and Integration: BIM facilitates better collaboration among architects, engineers, and constructors. As your company, WEC, will work with franchise clients, BIM will allow for seamless integration and coordination of different aspects of the building process. This reduces conflicts and changes during construction, saving time and money.
4. Customization for Franchise Needs: For franchises, consistency in brand experience is key. BIM allows for customization of the model to ensure that the franchise’s brand standards are maintained in terms of design, layout, and aesthetics.
5. Efficiency and Cost-Effectiveness: By using BIM, WEC can help franchises in optimizing space, reducing waste, and thereby cutting down costs. It also helps in shortening the construction timeline, as many potential issues can be identified and resolved during the modeling phase.
6. Lifecycle Management: BIM is not just for the construction phase; it extends to the entire lifecycle of the building. WEC can provide models that help in maintenance and management of the franchise location post-construction. This could include information for future renovations or energy management strategies.
7. Flexibility and Scalability: As franchise locations may vary in size and function, BIM offers the flexibility to scale the design up or down, and make adjustments as required. This is especially useful for franchises that are looking to expand to multiple locations with varying local requirements.
By providing BIM Modeling services, WEC will enable franchise clients to make more informed decisions, reduce risks, and manage costs effectively while ensuring a consistent brand experience across different locations.
