Question & Answer
How Long Does a Boardroom Renovation Take?
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:
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.
| Phase | Duration | Content |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment & Planning | 1–3 weeks | Site assessment, concept, approval |
| Procurement | 2–8 weeks | Component lead times (biggest uncertainty factor) |
| Construction Preparatory Work | parallel/1–2 weeks | Electrical, network, acoustics if needed |
| Installation | 1–2 weeks | Assembly, cabling, media control |
| Testing & Handover Training | a few days | Calibration, handover, training |
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.
