Very soon, Sherry arrived at Claire's office, led by the female designer.
Claire got up to greet Sherry. She smiled and said, "Miss Connor, why are you here s o early?"
Sherry smiled. "Chairman Wilson, I came here to confirm our construction period with you. Our young lady would like to know how long the renovation would take and when we will be able to move in."
Claire replied with some difficulty, "Miss Connor, we're still in the communication stage of this project. I don't know how many times we’ll need to find a balance in our communication, and I don't know how many versions of the design sketches are required to satisfy Miss Jane. So, I cannot
give you an exact time frame yet."
Claire added, "However, I think that this matter is divided into two steps. The first step is that we’ll need to remove the original renovation first. This will be much faster. I have a better understanding of the situation of the villa as well. I estimate that the soft interior and hard furnishings can b e removed as soon as one week."
"If we can finalize the design as soon as possible, it'll be easier to control the subsequent construction time."
Sherry replied, “Chairman Wilson. If the design is finalized, how long will it take for the construction to end after that?"
Claire said hesitantly, "Miss Connor... To be honest with you, I cannot give you any guarantees right now. We still don’t know how difficult it’ll be to construct the final design. If the construction is very difficult,
the construction period will definitely be longer." "Moreover, I'm also unsure of Miss Jane's specific requirements for the construction materials of this villa. I've done some interior designing for several clients before this, and some will specify the use of a certain material from a certain country. For instance, if someone likes natural marble imported from Italy, then the tone should be booked at least half a year in advance in order not to delay the renovation. If the soft furnishings require the use and selection of imported furniture, it'd also be the same case."
"There are too many factors that can influence the construction time. It really is impossible for me to give you an accurate time frame immediately. For such a large villa, some people can complete the installation within a year. However, some people might need five years to complete the installation. The difference in time span is very large."
When Sherry heard this, she smiled and said, "It seems as though the renovation is very troublesome. I can see that you need t o hurry and meet our young lady, as I am not certain about her specific requirements and needs. You'll have to meet with her and have a proper talk with her face-to-face."
