01COMMERCIAL FIT-OUT
From the day the lease is signed, a fit-out runs against the opening date. Knowing the stages — and which ones run in parallel — is how businesses open on time.

The designer produces a space plan, then detailed drawings coordinated with the landlord's fit-out guide and the building's services. Decisions frozen at this stage protect the programme later.
While drawings are with the landlord and authorities, long-lead items are ordered — specialist lighting, joinery, kitchen or salon equipment. Waiting for approvals before procuring anything is the most common reason fit-outs open late.
On site, the sequence runs from strip-out and services to partitions, ceilings, finishes and joinery, then commissioning of systems. Authority inspections and the landlord's final inspection follow, and snags are closed before opening. Documentation — as-built drawings and warranties — is handed over at the end.
