By the Light of Day
Resicom is much like a vampire- we often do our best work at night. Our nationwide scalability usually dictates overnight project execution to minimize disruption to facilities’ guests and staff. Therefore, when asked to paint a store during the day, we had to shift gears and mindset on how to structure daytime project management during the facility’s regular business hours.
Scope
The scope of work needed to complete this project:
- Complete a storefront repaint with a new paint spec during regular business hours.
Challenges
The challenges of this project included:
- Keeping the store entrance unencumbered of equipment and clear for customers’ passage.
- Ensure a safe and unobtrusive work environment for both customers and technicians.
- Prevent overspray on any surfaces that are not to be painted.
Solution
By outlining a specific structure to our project approach, we were able to maximize the small window of time in the morning before the facility opened to paint high traffic areas.
Our solution to the project included:
- The storefront entrance was painted first, utilizing the grace period in the morning before customers were present.
- Cones and construction zone tape were utilized to prohibit customers from the work areas.
- Areas were prepped and covered with plastic and drops to protect all non-painted surfaces.
Summary
Because Resicom relies on standard – process – audit to effectively manage and execute deliverables, we were able to apply those same principles to a modified project and still achieve effective results. Though specifications and circumstances may change for various projects, Resicom’s systematic execution works- day or night.
