How long does a project take from start to finish?

From new intake to construction

Each project can span a different time period based on a number of different factors. Ideally, assuming all project details are valid, permits are approved and responses are quick, we aim to complete projects in 28 weeks. 

The ideal timeline to submit a project is 28-52 weeks prior to anticipated occupancy date. It is important to keep TELUS up-to-date with all updates to occupancy dates.

Below you will see the phases, deliverables for each phase and ideal timelines for all projects phases:
