Section 2of fourStage by stage

The order of a project, from site and feasibility to permit, construction and fit-out. The entries are listed by phase of the project, then in the order they were revised.

7 entries, revised between 19/10/2025 and 07/09/2026.

How the section is ordered

  • An entry belongs to one phase: the work of that phase is what decides it.
  • The share column reads the section, not the project: it shows how much of this section a phase carries.
  • The order inside a phase is the date of the last revision, newest last.

Contractors do not publish bid spreads, and no public source gives a regional cost per square metre for a dental fit-out.
