Our Process

Our fitout services are driven by quality, precision, and efficiency. We oversee every stage of the construction process with a strong focus on reliability, ensuring projects are delivered on time, within budget, and to the highest standards – providing clients with a seamless experience from start to finish.
01

Assessment & Planning

This initial phase involves a thorough evaluation of the existing office space to identify specific retrofit goals. Key activities include conducting the building’s existing mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems. A feasibility study compares retrofit options based on cost and environmental impact, leading to a detailed design and implementation plan that includes securing necessary permits. This strategic groundwork ensures that the project is technically viable and aligned with the client’s objectives before construction begins.

02

Implementation & Construction

During this phase, the actual retrofitting work is carried out, with a focus on minimizing disruption to occupants. It begins with site mobilization and the installation of upgraded or new systems based on the approved design. Throughout the process, the project manager oversees the work, manages subcontractors, and conducts quality control to ensure installations meet the required performance standards.

03

Verification & Handover

The final phase focuses on confirming the project’s success and ensuring a smooth transition for the client. The new systems are commissioned and tested to verify they are operating as designed. We will formally handover the project, providing the client with all operational manuals, warranties, and final certifications. Training is provided to facilities staff, and post-completion support is often included to address any issues post completion.
