Build the program and test fit
Translate people, rooms, technology, storage, accessibility and brand into a room program and test it on the actual floorplate.
Coordinate approvals
Map landlord design review, permits, code, accessibility, fire, building access, insurance, contractor and utility requirements.
Control budget and change
Separate hard costs, soft costs, furniture, technology, contingency, tax and landlord charges. Use a clear approval process for scope changes.
Commission and document
Test HVAC, lighting, controls, security, technology and life-safety interfaces. Retain drawings, warranties, permits, manuals and deficiency records.
Evidence boundary: office availability and quoted economics change. Confirm current premises, authority, area, costs, permitted use and documents for the specific transaction. Read the methodology.
