The period of time over which a pre-opening consultancy agreement runs will vary from project to project and client to client. In the case of a new development we recommend a period from the end of the construction phase through to opening day or handover to the appointed business managers (whichever is the sooner). The earlier GreenScape becomes involved in a new project the more benefit we can be to our clients. For existing businesses a minimum of 3 months is advisable which can be extended as the client‘s needs dictate. In certain circumstances the services provided may relate to a particular task or tasks. In these situations the duration will be tailored to the specific job.
