Notes

  • All above stages will be monitored and reviewed through periodical progress meetings chaired and coordinated by Program Director.
  • The above process is typically adopted for manufacturing for all new Multi Location Programs. This process is subject to change based on individual project needs and Project volumes.
  • For Installation beyond our geographical region (VA, D.C., Maryland, Delaware, PA, NJ, NY), we use pre qualified national companies who go through a similar process to handle simultaneous multi location installations as per the program Gantt charts (Timeline Charts)
