SEAT S.A. / CUPRA
Cupra City Garages
The challenge
Fuelling new flagship stores
A subsidiary of SEAT and a member of the Volkswagen Group, CUPRA is an emerging car brand, establishing its dealer network across Europe. It’s rolling out a range of showrooms, including its flagship CUPRA City Garage stores – the home of the brand in each country.
These flagship stores are always in prime locations, in iconic cities, and feature high-end, location-specific design. No two are the same, but they all feature high-quality materials and bespoke furniture, resulting in a high €/m2 ratio.
Getting the green light to implement such large-scale commercial construction projects requires the approval of the company’s executive committee – and as well as location and design, cost is a decisive factor.

The role we’re playing
Here at Pulse Consult, our commercial construction experts work closely with the CUPRA team to get the go ahead for these high-profile City Garage projects.
With over a decade of in-depth experience working on commercial construction projects across Europe, our cost consultants have a wealth of cost data from various regions. We’ve also built ongoing relationships with a wide network of cost control subject matter experts, who we draw on to support and validate the cost advice we provide – giving CUPRA reliable, proven cost data to use as the basis for their City Garage proposals.
We build robust feasibility cost plans, broken down by elements and functional areas. These are regularly updated with the design team, making sure we work closely with everyone involved to find the most feasible approach to the brief. Every time, we take a genuinely commercial approach, working hard to give the client cost certainty against their budgets.
