Home Department Phasing, Barricades and Panels Key Points

1. Home Department Phasing, Barricades and Panels • Key Points • Construction areas are always “hidden from the Customer” to protect the shopping experience. • Once an area is under construction it is not opened to the public until it is 100% ready. • Hard shops are worked first in order to meet reveal dates • Street will be ready next to allow the stores a location to merchandise displaced product. • Dates • 3/15: Furniture turn over for merchandising • 3/29: Hard Shop merchandising starts • 4/5: Hard Shop reveal date (Bodum , Adler, Graves , Celebrations, O&R) • 4/5: Furniture reveal in stores that currently carry furniture • 4/15: The Street -Burnishing will be completed • 4/24: Turn over of remaining home space for merchandising • Note: Stores will have some areas turned over early so you won’t merchandise all of home between the dates of 4/24-5/3 • 5/3: All of Home reveals • Phasing • Planning the Phases • The GC will have a “sit down meeting” with the Store Leader and cover the complete phasing plans for the store. • The Store Leader will have an understanding of the sequence of the work and approximate timing. • Timing adjustments may need to flexed based on labor, materials and conditions but the sequence would remain. • Phase 1 – The Hard Shops and Furniture as well as the Street within this area. (refer to Phasing Plan Example on Pg 4

2. Home Department Phasing, Barricades and Panels • Phase 2 – Balance of Home – NON ABATEMENT STORES • Phase 2 sequencing • The Street • Construction will begin in this area and • Street is worked out of phase with the rest of Home • Street work utilizes the visqueen to be rolled up during the day and down at night. • Refer to Type 1 Barricade. • The intent is to complete the Street first • Completion of the Street will allow the stores to merchandise in this space. (more info to come from the Execution team on the “how to”) • Turn Over of Space • The Contractor will begin to take the balance of Home on a “rolling take over” (Refer to Phasing Plan Example on Pg. 4) and could start other areas prior to completion of phase 1 in order to meet turn over dates. • Example of “rolling take over” (Refer to Phasing Plan Example on Pg. 5) • GC will take 5,000 square feet (number may vary) at a time. • Area will be turned over to the GC, visqueen barrier installed (see Type 2 barricade in) • GC will demo in the space and begin work. • Once first area is demoed – the next area will be taken over and work started. • Construction will continue to take Home space until they have the balance of home under construction • Construction will not take more space than they can work in. • Once space is taken by construction is not opened back to the public until it is 100% complete. (see section on Barricades)

3. Home Department Phasing, Barricades and Panels • Barricades • Who installs? • Visqueen barriers are installed by the GC to screen work away from the customer. • 4x8 Panels are installed outside of the visqueen by the store and are considered a visual element. • When do they go up? • When the store has cleared the space. • When do they come down? • When the area is 100% customer ready. • All of the following conditions have been met. • Construction is complete • All Fixturing is in place • Merchandise has arrived and been placed in the place according to the Planner • ABATEMENT STORES • Dates - Abatement stores must meet all same dates as non abatement stores. • Phasing • Abatement is done in advance of the other work and will not coincide with phasing of other space. • Phase 1 areas are abated first. • The balance of the street is abated next • The floor burnishing of the street will follow abatement work. • Pads in the remainder of Home are then taken for abatement using the same type of “rolling takeover” process • Once an area is under visqueen it is not open to the public until it is 100% complete. • Barricades – Same processes apply. Abatement stores require an additional barrier.
