This comprehensive project involved a variety of specialised tasks, all aimed at creating a safe, functional and visually appealing fuel station and convenience store. Theta Projects managed the programme from design and 3D visualisation through to final construction, so that the new Econo identity was delivered consistently across the whole site.
Theta Projects oversaw each phase of the Econo Brits development, from design and pre-construction visualisation through to construction management and final handover of the fuel station and convenience store.
The goal was a high-quality, client-aligned build that met both functional and regulatory standards while establishing a fresh retail identity for Econo.

Designed optimized traffic ingress and egress for smooth flow.
Modern fuel pumps were constructed with integrated systems, delivering a forecourt that is safe, efficient and ready for high-volume trade from the day the site opened.
A custom convenience store layout was developed around customer flow, with the OK Express and Steers offerings planned to work together within the new Econo identity.
Detailed site surveying was conducted for safety compliance, with lighting and signage installed to enhance visibility and traffic ingress and egress optimised for smooth flow.
3D renderings were created for pre-construction visualisation and detailed site surveying was conducted for safety compliance, giving Econo a clear picture of the finished site before any groundworks began.

Are you planning a new fuel station, a multi-tenant convenience centre or a complex fuel-retail development in Gauteng?
THETA Projects provides architecture, project management, quantity surveying and service station construction coordination for developments that need fuel infrastructure, tenant workstreams, approvals and construction delivery to move forward together.
The Econo – Brits, NW project is a testament to Theta Projects’ commitment to delivering value through efficient, client-focused project management. The final build not only provided a fresh, functional identity for Econo but also enhanced the local community’s retail experience.
The programme required alignment between Econo, the construction team, fuel equipment suppliers, franchise partners and the local authorities across six months on site.
By adhering to timelines, managing costs and ensuring safety, Theta Projects demonstrated the benefits of working with an experienced team dedicated to excellence.
