Aligning schedule with furniture and lighting

We’re moving into DD on a mid-size office fit-out, and the critical path is tied to furniture lead times and lighting mockups more than anything else. How are you sequencing vendor commitments so we don’t blow a 14-week schedule when the client is still debating task chairs and 3000K vs 3500K? I’m planning a furniture addendum by week 4 and locking lighting specs after a one-room pilot next Tuesday — sense check that timeline?

I’ve been issuing a week‑2 LOI with a not‑to‑exceed to lock the production slot on task chairs and housings/drivers, then your week 4 furniture addendum and the “3000K vs 3500K” call just finalize finishes/CCT without resetting the lead time. Small caveat: vendors need a cancellation cap or refundable deposit to play ball. Will your rep hold a slot on field‑selectable CCT fixtures so the mockup doesn’t gate the 14‑week path?
