Delivery

The project had a completion date of 6 weeks start to finish and sign off. The project was completed fully with all objectives met including additional works agreed during the installation, prior to this deadline.

Points of note

• Lots of changes during the installation regarding which type of LED lights would be installed in the first floor offices. These delayed the project while the client made a decision. This project still had to be completed within the agreed dates. We produced 4 different samples of LED installation ideas from what was originally agreed on the first day of works commencing. In the end the client sourced their own LED light fittings which we then fitted after the project was finished.
