Office renovation phasing plan with protected work and occupied zones

Business continuity is part of the design brief

If the office stays operational, map teams, routes, noisy work, temporary facilities and system outages. A phased plan should explain how each zone becomes safe and usable before the next one changes.

If the office is vacant, the critical interfaces shift to lease dates, landlord review, furniture and technology delivery, testing and move-in.

  • Mark critical teams and functions
  • Coordinate IT and power before furniture
  • Protect occupied routes and escape paths
  • Schedule outages and noisy work explicitly
  • Define commissioning and move-in checks
