Taj Patna — a full collection, delivered in six to eight weeks.
A coordinated lighting collection across guest rooms, public areas and F&B — multiple fixture families, single visual language, pre-opening schedule.
The brief: a coordinated collection, under pre-opening pressure.
An IHCL opening in Patna with a tight pre-handover schedule. The lighting package spanned guest rooms, public areas and F&B — multiple fixture families that had to read as one coherent visual language.
Six to eight weeks between CAD approval and site delivery. On a coordinated collection of this breadth, that's compressed. The solution wasn't speed — it was parallelism.
Coordination across fixture families, inside a compressed window.
Coordinated collections are hard even without timeline pressure. Table lamps, pendants, sconces, chandeliers and F&B fixtures all have to share a finish language, proportion language, and material language — while each also working in its own context.
Compress the timeline and the usual buffers disappear. One missed sign-off, one batch finish inconsistency, and the whole collection slips. We had to run approval, production and QC in parallel, not sequentially.
Parallel tracks. Batched by finish. One lead end-to-end.
Parallel CAD approval
All fixture families submitted for CAD approval in parallel. Feedback loops compressed to 48 hours per revision.
Batched production
Production batched across both factories by finish and material, not by fixture family — keeping consistency at the batch level.
Single-lead dispatch control
One project lead owned the dispatch schedule, sequencing pieces to the site in the order the hotel needed them installed.
Site handover
Install and commissioning completed inside the hotel's pre-opening window. Full collection handed over with zero quality returns.

A sequence from production through install to handover. Full documentation available on request.
The technical detail.
Every project is documented to this level at handover — specs, finishes, electrical, AMC terms.
"Timeline pressure is where most coordinated collections fall apart. Running approval, production and dispatch in parallel rather than in series is what saved this one."Project Lead · Taj Patna
