The Challenge

Two Locations. One Accelerated Timeline.

A national telecommunications retailer required two Western Washington retail locations to be decommissioned on an accelerated schedule. The project involved significantly more than removing furniture and debris.

Rooted needed to coordinate:

Heavy fixture demolitionCommercial signage removalExtremely heavy security safe removalAsset sortingRecyclingDisposalWall repairsTurnover correctionsFinal walkthroughProperty handoff

The schedule required Rooted to determine the project's critical path and complete the highest-risk and most time-intensive tasks first.

3

Critical Path Planning

Prioritized the most difficult and highest-risk tasks first.

4

Fixture Demolition

Approximately 12 heavy solid-wood wall fixtures represented one of the most labor-intensive portions of the project.

5

Signage Removal

Commercial signage required controlled removal because of mounting, access and property-damage considerations.

6

Heavy Security Safe Removal

Security safes weighing approximately 2,500+ lbs represented one of the project's most significant logistical challenges and required careful planning.

7

Remaining Contents + Asset Removal

Remaining commercial fixtures, furniture, materials and project debris were removed and sorted appropriately.

8

Turnover Corrections

Wall patching and other agreed turnover corrections were completed. Specialty trade work was handled as Trade Coordination with properly licensed contractors.
