Reverse timetable from lease signing to opening of 2,000 square feet
We first put the responsibility, scope, price and time into the same enterprise project framework to help your company clarify the budget, approval and delivery boundaries before launching the project.
First lock the dates that cannot be moved
The opening day, the handover date of the old site, the construction period of the management office, lift reservation, long holidays and company relocation days must be put into the master schedule first. Renovation is not a single-line construction, and many delays come from waiting for approval and resubmission of documents.
What things can be done in parallel
Site surveys, management office renovation manual reviews, floor plans, preliminary BOQs, material samples, and long-lead furniture pre-selection can all proceed in parallel. After the plane is frozen, the electromechanical points, fire air conditioning submission and prefabricated procurement can enter a stable state.
Look at three types of risks every week
The first category is approval risks, the second category is procurement and arrival risks, and the third category is unknown conditions on site. The weekly project report should list plan/actual, photos, blockers, what your company is deciding on this week, and next week’s milestones.
Checklist before project start
| material | Confirm key points |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Document pre-review, site survey, plan direction, BMO requirements |
| Weeks 2-3 | BOQ, sample, approval submission, long-delivery project confirmation |
| After week 4 | On-site construction, testing and debugging, defect rectification, relocation preparation |
Once your company submits floor plans, leases or fit-out manuals, it gets a management-readable list of risks, budget gaps and information.
