Define the priority functions
Map leasing, staff work, meetings, gathering, package handling, refreshments, storage, and restroom use as applicable. Record conflicts in the current plan so the renovation brief addresses function instead of only appearance.
Choose maintainable details
- Review cleaning methods and replacement access for finishes.
- Coordinate furniture, technology, power, and storage together.
- Evaluate wear at entries, counters, wet areas, and frequently used doors.
- Ask the design team to review accessibility and circulation for the changed layout.
Plan temporary operations and acceptance
Decide which functions relocate and how residents receive updates during closure. Before reopening, check installed equipment, access, cleaning, punch items, and staff instructions against the approved scope. Do not assume an amenity change produces a measurable leasing or retention result.
