Hospitality fit‑outs run on tight timelines. Lighting touches architecture, MEP, joinery, and brand. A six‑step delivery model reduces surprises and protects project margins.

The Six Steps (Project Governance)

1) Understand Your Vision:

Stakeholder interviews; mood boards; budget and timeline alignment.

2) Design with Creativity:

Layered concept; drawings and calculations; mockups for critical moments.

3) Tailor Every Detail:

Luminaire schedules; mounting and beam decisions; control zoning; coordination with joinery and HVAC.

4) Deliver with Precision:

Procurement aligned to program; logistics; early delivery of long‑lead items; quality checks on arrival.

5) On‑Site Expertise:

Supervised installation; aiming and programming; punchlisting and staff handover. (Lumican provides free site supervision by project engineers.)

6) Lasting Brilliance:

Planned maintenance, re‑aims, and scene reviews; warranty governance and on‑site replacements; free 5‑year site maintenance for continuity of results.

Risk Controls to Add

Change Control:

Document and price alternates early.

Mockups:

Approve before mass procurement.

Commissioning Log:

Record presets and aiming photos.

Post‑Opening Review:

Tweak scenes after two weeks of live service.

A clear, supervised process cuts rework, accelerates opening, and protects design intent—turning lighting into a manageable asset.

Key Takeaways

  • Treat lighting as a governed process, not just products.
  • Supervision and aftercare protect results beyond handover.
