CHOOSING PHASED RENOVATION
Under what circumstances is phased renovation suitable?
Full renovation of the active enterprise
The office currently in use by the company requires a comprehensive renovation, but business operations cannot be paused. Construction will be carried out in phases and zones, with employees rotating work areas, and the next phase of renovation will begin only after the previous one is completed.
Large office expansion
When corporates lease adjacent or additional floors, they need to connect or expand their existing offices. Construction can be phased between the new and old areas, allowing staff to move into the new area once completed, followed by the renovation of the old area.
Phased budget investment
The company has an adequate overall budget but prefers to pay for renovation costs in instalments according to the financial year or business cycle. The design is confirmed all at once, with construction carried out in phases to ensure consistency in design.
Stay connected with offices worldwide
The Hong Kong office of a multinational corporation is undergoing renovation. However, business connectivity with its global offices must be maintained, and server and communication systems cannot be interrupted. Phased implementation is used to mitigate the risk of IT downtime.
Transition arrangements for relocation
The company relocated to a new office. During the period when both the old and new locations were operating simultaneously, the new office was renovated in phases and employees moved in in batches to ensure an orderly relocation process.
Trial business operation during renovation
Opening is imminent, but the overall renovation is not yet complete. First, complete the core functional areas (reception desk, main work areas) to get the business running, and then continue to finish the remaining areas.

Key success factors for phased renovation:
A successful phased renovation comes from comprehensive planning before you start. The design scheme needs to be fully confirmed before the first phase of construction, including the design effect of the final phase, ensuring that each phase is part of the final product. The designers and project managers of BW Design Centre have fully considered the connection details of each construction phase during the scheme planning stage, avoiding the waste of having to demolish completed works due to design changes later on.
