One plan for everyone
A schedule is useful only if it reflects how work will be done. We build ours from the start dates, durations and dependencies of each activity. Because our own crews handle electrical, mechanical, low voltage and interior work, we control a large share of the timeline directly.
A good schedule also lists your responsibilities, such as approvals, furniture delivery and IT access. Showing them on the same chart helps everyone see how one late decision affects the opening date.
What shapes the timeline
Items with long delivery times drive many schedules. We identify them early and recommend when to order. Ordering before final permits can be wise for some items, though it carries a risk if design changes. We explain that trade-off and let you decide.
- Design completion and approvals
- Permit review times
- Delivery times for switchgear, HVAC units, doors, glazing and millwork
- Building rules on working hours and shutdowns
- Winter and weather effects
- Your required opening or occupancy date
Phasing and occupied buildings
Where you stay in the building during work, we phase it. We plan which areas close when, how noisy work is scheduled, and when services are shut off. Our project manager shares this with you and with building management.
Realistic, not optimistic
It is tempting to shorten a schedule on paper to please everyone. We prefer a schedule that can be achieved. If your date is tight, we show what it takes: overtime, early orders, phased handover, or reduced scope. Then you choose with the facts in front of you.
Having our own crews matters here. We can move our own electricians or finishers where they are needed, instead of waiting for a subcontractor to find the people.
What to plan for
We update the schedule through construction and share it with you regularly. If a milestone is at risk, you hear early. Your role is to keep decisions on time and to tell us about fixed dates. The next step is permits, where approvals are secured.
