The route in, step by step
6 steps from where you are now.
Class 12, or ITI in a relevant trade Required
Interior and fit-out coordination draws from trade and from design backgrounds alike.
Diploma or certificate in interior design or civil work Required
One to three years. You need enough technical grounding to read drawings and challenge a contractor.
Work on fit-out sites Required
Two or three years watching how carpentry, electrical, plumbing and finishing trades collide with each other on a live site.
Coordinate trades and schedules Required
Sequencing contractors, chasing material, resolving clashes and keeping the client informed. The job is largely about preventing two trades from needing the same space on the same day.
Learn project scheduling and documentation Required
Programmes, snag lists, handover documentation and payment certification. Snagging discipline is what decides whether the final payment is released.
Project coordinator or execution manager Optional
