How to Control the fitout budget by Andrew Holder

There are 3 critical milestones in every fit out where the financial destiny of a project is shaped. These important milestones give you the opportunity to reset the financial pathway of the project budgets and avoid the blowing your budget and / or the project timeline.

Stage 1 – Initial Planning……

At inception of the project set a framework that outlines the three key factors of timeframe, budget and design. These three project drivers are often in conflict with each other. You may find that the design wish list cannot be met by budget constraints, or perhaps time constraints will restrict design flair, for example.
Decide which one of these three drivers holds the most importance in the project planning and this will give you the road map you need.
If budget is the most important thing to you then set your budget intelligentlyand then ensure that everyone on your design team are made fully aware of it. Every design idea needs to work within the financial constraints you have set for the project. Its the design teams responsibility to be accountable for designing the project within the budget you have set.
