A five-phase flight plan to opening day.
Roughly ten to twelve months on a typical tenant improvement project. Every phase ends in a document you own, not a status update.
Chart
Clinical program and a trade area snapshot of the site, then a total project budget covering hard costs, soft costs, equipment, FF&E and contingency. We support the financing package so your lender sees a project that has been thought through rather than estimated.
- Timing
- Weeks 1 to 6
- You receive
-
- Program document
- Trade area snapshot
- Total project budget
Design
Test fits and space planning driven by your clinical workflow, then finish direction and photoreal renders. Equipment layout freezes at the end of this phase, because every week it stays open is a week of rework downstream in electrical, plumbing and shielding.
- Timing
- Weeks 4 to 12
- You receive
-
- Floor plan
- 3D model
- Renders
- Frozen equipment layout
Assemble
Architect and engineer selection, general contractor bidding and leveling, permit submission and buyout. Leveling is where most of the money is saved or lost, because bids that look comparable rarely are until someone puts them on the same sheet.
- Timing
- Weeks 10 to 20
- You receive
-
- Leveled bid comparison
- Executed contracts
- Permit set
Build
Weekly Owner-Architect-Contractor meetings, pay application review before anything is paid, change order defense, quality walks and equipment install sequencing. You get a written report on budget and schedule against baseline, so you are never finding out at the end.
- Timing
- Weeks 20 to 44
- You receive
-
- Weekly OAC minutes
- Monthly budget and schedule report
Launch
Punch list, certificate of occupancy, owner training, warranty file and day one operational readiness. The job is not done when the contractor leaves. It is done when you can see patients.
- Timing
- Weeks 44 to 48
- You receive
-
- Closeout package
- Warranty file
- As-built set
You will always know two things.
Where the budget stands against the baseline, and whether the opening date is still real.
Weekly OAC meetings with written minutes during construction. A monthly report comparing committed cost, projected final cost and remaining contingency against the budget you approved in Phase 01. A running decision log, so nobody relitigates a choice you already made three months ago.
Between formal reports you have a live project dashboard. You should never have to email your owner's rep to find out what is happening on your own project.

Bring your site and your target opening date. We will map it against a real schedule and tell you whether it holds.
