Week 2: Build the Backbone
Make the space functional. Power, network, IT and audio/visual (AV), access, and furniture logistics come together; the punch list takes shape.
Week 2: Build the Backbone
Goal: make the space functional. The infrastructure that everything else sits on goes in this week.
Do
- Complete electrical and power work.
- Confirm network / Wi-Fi status.
- Coordinate IT and audio/visual (AV) installation.
- Confirm furniture logistics (delivery, install, freight).
- Start the access-card / badge process — it has a lead time.
- Resolve outstanding building-approval issues.
- Walk the space and update the punch list.
- Confirm the move-vendor scope and kitchen/pantry delivery timing.
Active workstreams
Output
- A functional readiness check
- An updated punch list
- A confirmed move-day run of show
The mindset
Watch the dependencies between workstreams this week — they’re where things jam. Cabling has to go in before desks. Power has to be live before workstations matter. Badge requests have to start now to be ready by opening. Sequence the backbone, and Week 3 becomes assembly instead of firefighting.
