Lighting Up Safety: A Strategic Overhaul of a Police Facility’s Security and Visibility

Using Transparent Documentation and Strategic Design to Deliver Comprehensive Safety Solutions

The challenge

A police facility faced security issues with poor visibility and inadequate lighting in parking areas. The upgrade needed to enhance security with improved lighting and a new system accessible from multiple locations, ensuring safety for staff arriving early or leaving late.

Objective

The goal was to provide detailed documentation throughout the project and ensure that the materials procured were perfectly suited to the client’s security and lighting needs. It was critical to maintain transparency, efficiency, and accuracy from start to finish.

The strategy

To achieve these objectives, a comprehensive strategy was implemented to maintain clarity and efficiency throughout the project.

Dashboard

An interactive dashboard was used to document and organize the project. It tracked all phases, from planning to execution, and managed communications, progress updates, and scheduling. This tool provided the client with real-time visibility and facilitated smooth communication among all parties. The dashboard ensured that every project detail was documented for future reference, keeping everything transparent and on track.

Design Process

We began by mapping the facility and identifying gaps in the original drawings. Updated drawings provided a clear visualization of necessary improvements and how new systems would be implemented. This design phase was crucial for ensuring complete coverage and optimizing accessibility for security and lighting. Detailed plans offered clarity to both contractors and the client, outlining the exact execution steps for the project.

Milestones

The project was broken down into distinct milestones, each tied to specific tasks and associated costs. This structured approach allowed us to clearly communicate progress and manage the client’s expectations throughout the project. By presenting a transparent breakdown of costs and timelines, we ensured the client could see where resources were allocated and how the project was advancing toward completion.
