We first complete the pre-review based on your company's area, current situation, target date and building constraints, and then decide whether to proceed with on-site inspection or document review.
We write the inclusions, exclusions, tentative amounts, your firm’s input and professional liability into the same itemized scope sheet.
We use the overall schedule, confirmation nodes, weekly reports, change records and handover catalogs to allow your company to continuously understand the status of the project.
We first complete the pre-review of conditions, and then complete the final project confirmation with on-site and documents.
Area, current status, target date and building.
Identify management office responsibilities, approval nodes, long-delivery projects and management decision-making points.
Check dimensions, mechanical and electrical, fire protection and construction conditions.
Develop itemized scope quotation, overall PMO schedule and decision list.
After your company provides floor plans, lease requirements or restoration letters, we first complete the scope, responsibility and time boundary confirmation.
Public market data shows that the cost per square foot of office fit-out in Hong Kong varies greatly. We first list the fire protection, air conditioning, furniture, IT/AV, management office designated projects, night construction and professional expenses, and then discuss whether the budget is controllable.
Use the BOQ to indicate inclusions, exclusions, tentative amounts, lock-in periods, and change approvals to avoid comparing solely on price per square foot.
Check BMO Renovation Manual, Minor Works, WR1, Electrical, Fire and Insurance Liabilities before floor freeze.
Split approval, procurement, prefabrication, arrival at the port, on-site construction, testing and debugging, and defect rectification into traceable nodes.
