Practical guidance
What this means for your property
The schedule depends on what must change and how the building stays operational during the work. A single entrance replacement is different from a multi-building project with controlled doors, gates, elevator coordination and resident enrollment. Existing wiring, finished surfaces, equipment availability and access to work areas can affect the sequence.
Hawthorne’s documented scope includes intercoms, 23 doors, gates and elevator controls, illustrating why device count alone is not a useful duration estimate. WeTech establishes the installation sequence after assessing the property. Ask for the expected work windows, any planned service interruptions, resident notices, commissioning steps and handover requirements, rather than relying on a universal number of installation days.
What to confirm before proceeding
Separate preparation and installation
Confirm equipment readiness, approvals, resident lists and access arrangements before the on-site work window.
Explain temporary access
Tell residents which entrance to use and what changes during each stage of the transition.
Include commissioning
Allow time to test calling, credentials, gates and elevators in scope and to train the authorized administrator.
