Turnkey consulting services for design and project management:
Setting up new 140K sqf facility to accommodate:
3PL operation
Refurbish operation for consumer electronics
Obtaining the occupancy and operating permits
Deadline was driven by lease agreement
First building occupant- Significant TI work needed
Longer than usual lead time for permit process by the city
Fixed budget
Picking a flexible electrical distribution system helped with both permit process and also provided great flexibility for future layout modifications.
I used Smartsheet for project management
Agile/ Waterfall Hybrid methodology used for Project Management
I picked AutoCad for design phase
Due to long permit process and hard deadline to exit the old building, saving time was number 1 priority.
Project was broken down into two phases:
Basic Design : Using flexible layout concept start the permit process:
Volume analysis and overall capacity determination for Warehouse and Services segments
High level layout design
Office design
Create TI requirement documents and obtain approvals
Contractors selection - Planning & Risk Identification
Start permit process
Detail Design and Execution Phase: While permit process is ongoing the detail layout will be completed:
Continue with detailed design for refurbish area and TI
Project Management through delivery
On-time delivery of the project
On-budget delivery
Occupancy permit obtained prior to the deadline
