In 2017, ALDI commenced the implementation phase of its nationwide strategy to refurbish the majority of its stores into the modern ‘Fresh’ format. Known as the ‘ALDI Project Refresh’, this initiative is designed to align all stores across the country with ALDI’s current design standards, ensuring a consistent and enhanced customer experience while strengthening the brand’s national presence.

Engaged as a Head Contractor, INTREC have partnered with ALDI to deliver refurbishment projects across Victoria since 2017. Between 2017 and 2020, INTREC have successfully delivered interior refurbishment projects at ALDI supermarkets around regional and metropolitan Victoria; from Portland, Traralgon, Ararat and Echuca through to Bairnsdale, Epsom, Sale and Benalla.

Each project generally consists of a staged refurbishment including demolition work, extensive structural works, new flooring, ceiling, lighting and wall panelling, along with electrical, data, security, mechanical, refrigeration and hydraulics upgrades. New joinery, workstations and new or refurbished registers were also installed.

Guaranteeing efficient handovers and stakeholder satisfaction, our dedicated retail team has continued to grow, with additional ALDI projects outside of the Refresh Rollout such as extensions, retrofits and fresh-to-fronts now being delivered across Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland (bringing the total number of projects delivered on behalf of ALDI across 3 states to 110).

This commitment to quality secured the INTREC Victorian ALDI Refresh team a 2019 Victorian Institute of Building (AIB) Professional Excellence in Building (PEA) award for Interiors.
