What we focus on
- Confirm contractor paperwork, utilities, material handling, and access windows before freight moves.
- Sequence install so flooring, structure, graphics, lighting, and testing do not collide on the floor.
- Map strike around outbound paperwork, return freight, and asset recovery before the hall closes.
