The window is smaller than the calendar suggests
A calendar showing two days between events looks generous until the load-out overruns, the last truck leaves late and the next bump-in starts early. The genuine cleaning window can shrink to a fraction of what was planned, and a scope sized for the calendar rather than for the real window cannot be delivered in the time available.
Planning for that means agreeing a priority order in advance. Floors and amenities first, because they affect the next event most. Back-of-house and external areas next. Detail work last, and accepted as the part that is dropped when the window closes early. That way a compressed schedule produces a usable venue rather than a partially cleaned one. Recording the priority order in the plan, agreed before the event, is what allows the crew to act rather than seek instructions during a turnaround.
