21 Aug The Importance of a Structured Process in Interior Projects
Very often, what looks obvious may be hard to follow
Why Most Interior Projects Struggle
Many interior projects struggle because they don’t follow a step-by-step process.
Without a clear roadmap, it’s easy to lose track of tasks, miss deadlines, and encounter miscommunications. As a result, the project can get really delayed, which can lead to mounting costs for labour and even material, which leads to unsatisfied customers.
Having a clear Step-by-Step Flow
Having a step-by-step flow and explaining it to each team member is crucial. This ensures everyone understands their roles and responsibilities, and the project has clear workflow.
For this, it is important to have clear documentation to track progress and identify potential
issues early on.
Periodic Reviews
Periodic reviews at fixed times—whether weekly, bi-weekly, or even daily—are critical to stay on track.
They help in assessing progress, quickly resolving any questions or cedflags, and making necessary adjustments. Regular reviews with each stakeholder, including customers, vendors, and team members, ensure that everyone is aligned and any concems are promptly addressed.
What is equally important is the tracker you use for each review. It is important to link outcomes of one meeting to another.
Linking Payments to Clear Outcomes
To avoid confusion and ensure accountability, payments should be linked to clear outcomes.
And this is true for each set of stakeholders. It is true for payments made to the project team, to the labour contractors and to the stores. Having milestones for each payment and talking about it early helps.
