Use readiness milestones instead of a single arrival date
Check the delivery route from unloading point to final position, including crate sizes and turning space. Confirm that the installation surface and overhead clearances match the approved drawings. Resolve discrepancies before unpacking sensitive components.
During assembly, maintain the specified panel orientation and connection sequence. Protect exposed finishes and keep unnecessary debris out of completed areas. Integrate services using the approved opening and support details instead of making unrecorded changes.
Before use, complete the agreed installation checks, cleaning and commissioning activities. Provide the owner with the final layout, equipment information and maintenance access instructions. A room that has been physically assembled still needs the acceptance activities specified for its intended operation.
Configuration decisions
| Decision | What to define |
|---|---|
| Site readiness | Confirm dimensions, floor condition, access and power arrangements. |
| Assembly readiness | Match component identification to approved drawings and revisions. |
| Service readiness | Verify connections, penetrations and access for routine maintenance. |
| Operational readiness | Complete the agreed checks, records and user handover. |
Can installation duration be promised before surveying the site?
A meaningful programme needs scope, access, interfaces and site readiness information. Ask for the assumptions behind a proposed duration and the tasks excluded from it.
