Paul, roughly 600-700 people from start of refurbishments, we had floors half of 2, 3, 4, half of 5 when we had around 600, was crammed. Shortly after starting refurb we got full first floor and 2nd floor. So at 720 today, we use 1st as swing space, we have full 2nd and 4th fully finished, 6th will be done in a couple of weeks, half of 5th too, then people will move from 3rd to 5th and 6th, and from 2nd half of 5th over to the finished part. The 5th and 3rd is finished then. Then 1st moves to 3rd and 5th and we finish 1st.

Done.
Half of 2 and 5, all of 3 and 4. Am I right or was it more halves?

You got floor 1 and started a refurbishment of that floor and 2 at the same time. Am I right?

So today you have 720 staff.

1st, 2nd, and 4th fully finished, 6th and half of 5th about to be.

Then you switch the staff from from floor to floor.

Thanks for the info. This was my field for years and I know the nightmare it can be in a working building, on a working floor it's more than a nightmare. Just keeping the dust out of computers is a real problem. By the look of what the design company showed and said, this was a full job. Teams of men with different skills. From toilet installers up. Furniture removal, false floors and ceilings, electrics, tele communications, air-con, heating, windows maybe, painting, partitions, carpets and then installing the furniture. 720 people walking in and out of a building while men bring all the stuff required in and out, nightmare. Disruption to work, distraction from work, switching systems, etc.

I preferred doing this work before anyone moved in to the building. Sadly rarely did it that way.

The final proof would be a short video from one of the floors being refurbished with a picture of Fuck GFY Trolls.
