Question & Answer

How Long Does a Boardroom Renovation Take?

2 min read Reviewed July 2026 Planning & Process

Short Answer

A boardroom renovation typically takes 6 to 14 weeks from the start of planning to handover. The on-site installation itself is usually done in one to two weeks; the largest share of the time goes to planning, procurement (lead times), and coordination with construction and electrical trades. Structural acoustic work can extend the duration.

In 30 Seconds

  • From the start of planning to handover, expect typically 6 to 14 weeks.
  • The room is unusable only during installation: one to two weeks, often plannable for off-peak or vacation periods.
  • The biggest uncertainty factor is lead times — not the on-site assembly.

The Phases at a Glance

The phases in relative proportion to each other:

Assessment & Planning
1–3 weeks
Procurement
2–8 weeks
Construction Preparatory Work
parallel, 1–2 weeks
Installation
1–2 weeks
Testing & Handover Training
a few days

Scale: 0 to 14 weeks, the upper end of the typical range of 6 to 14 weeks. The construction preparatory work runs in parallel with procurement.

What Drives the Duration

Lead times determine the schedule

The biggest uncertainty factor is lead times — especially for LED walls and specialized components. Ordering early after planning approval noticeably shortens the overall duration. Structural acoustic or electrical work requiring a specialist contractor is the second factor.

Keeping Downtime Low

Practical Tip

Because the room is unusable during installation, on-site time is kept as short as possible through pre-configuration. For boardrooms, the installation can often be scheduled for off-peak or vacation periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the room unusable?

The actual installation usually takes only one to two weeks. Pre-configuration outside the room can shorten the downtime further and often shift it to off-peak periods.

What most often delays a boardroom renovation?

Lead times for individual components and construction preparatory work. Ordering early after planning approval is the most effective lever against delays.

Are these figures binding?

No, they are experience-based estimates. The specific timeline results from a site assessment and the equipment decisions, and is then scheduled with a binding date.
