Pre-consultation and Project Timeline Planning
Pre-project Needs Assessment Seven questions that must be answered before design begins
BW has a corresponding solution for everything

Hong Kong Office Renovation Timeline Reference
Duration is the most frequently underestimated project variable. The following duration data is sourced from the completion records of over 1,500 Hong Kong commercial projects by BW, covering the entire process from design confirmation to handover. This represents real local delivery data rather than manufacturers' promotional times.

Standard Construction Period (Design to Handover)
Construction period (from commencement to handover)
Common sources of delay
3–5 weeks
01
Design confirmation time
The landlord's response speed is the biggest variable in the project timeline. BW uses the Asana digital management platform to set response deadlines for each confirmation node, with automatic reminders if overdue.
02
Ready-made vs Custom-made Furniture
BW's in-house manufactured ready-made furniture can be shipped within 3–7 days; fully customized furniture has a production cycle of 21–28 days and must be ordered at the beginning of the construction phase.
03
Approval by Property Management Office
The approval period for fitting-out applications in Hong Kong Grade A office buildings is generally 2–4 weeks. BW is familiar with the application processes of major commercial buildings and can prepare a full set of documents in advance to shorten the waiting period.
04
Fire and Electrical & Mechanical System Alterations
Projects involving sprinkler, smoke detector, and electrical distribution board modifications must be submitted by licensed contractors. BW possesses AP/RSE licenses and can handle these in-house, avoiding waiting times for outsourcing.
05
Renovation without business suspension
If the owner needs to carry out renovation work during business hours, the work must be done in phases, with each area being worked on in turn. This will extend the overall construction period by 30–50%, and the construction strategy must be confirmed during the consultancy stage.

Three steps from initial contact to the design brief
1
Preliminary Assessment (Free)
BW 顧問電話或 WhatsApp 了解項目概況——面積、行業、遷入時間節點、概算預算範圍。24 小時內提供初步工期及預算框架參考，業主決定是否繼續深入顧問流程。
2
Site Survey and Requirement Meeting
The BW design consultants will personally visit the property to measure the actual dimensions and confirm technical conditions such as management office restrictions, mechanical and electrical status, and ceiling heights. Simultaneously, they will conduct an in-depth needs interview and complete a written record of seven core questions.
3
Design Brief Confirmation
BW compiles on-site data and requirement interview records to output a written Design Brief—including the space requirement checklist, project timeline, budget framework, and design direction recommendations. Once digitally signed by the owner, the project proceeds to the design planning stage.
