The space is finished, the layout works, and two weeks after opening the staff are still walking the long way around. That is not a design failure. It is what happens when a building changes faster than the people inside it were prepared for. A look at how change leadership works across every phase of a renovation, and what it costs to skip it.

insight: our Deliver Phase
Design and documentation set the vision. Delivery is where that vision either survives construction or quietly erodes. In the final post of our RWDC Process Series, we look at what it takes to keep design intent intact through contractor selection, FF&E, construction administration, and historic tax credit compliance, and why a design team's presence through completion is what separates a good project from a beautifully documented one.
