Retain, repair or replace
Before anything is bought, we review what is already in the unit and decide honestly what stays, what is repaired and what is replaced — so the budget goes where it actually moves the booking.
StayReady Planning is the ELS side of ALUMAX StayReady. We audit the unit, decide what to keep, and plan the furniture and finishes around turnover and the listing photo — then freeze one specification you can repeat across every identical unit. ELS plans and coordinates; ALUMAX supplies and installs the built-ins; you approve one unit, then roll it out.
StayReady is one offer — ALUMAX StayReady, with ELS planning built in. This is the planning: the decisions that make a unit cheap to run, quick to turn around and worth the listing photo.
Before anything is bought, we review what is already in the unit and decide honestly what stays, what is repaired and what is replaced — so the budget goes where it actually moves the booking.
We plan the loose furniture — dimensions, quantity, positioning and a replacement specification — chosen for repeated tenants and fast turnovers, not one careful owner.
We rank every space by how much it drives the booking — the listing hero, the booking-closers, the practical shots — and put the budget where the camera sees it.
A calm, photograph-ready palette and layered light — the soft layer that makes a unit read well online without adding a cleaning burden.
Storage that survives a suitcase, surfaces that wipe clean, and a layout a guest understands in ten seconds — the difference between a good review and a complaint.
We design for the turnover: durable finishes, replaceable covers and standard sizes, so a damaged piece is swapped, not custom-rebuilt.
One approved specification, frozen once, so a ten-unit operator runs one sofa model — not ten. ELS freezes the spec; ALUMAX repeats the supply.
Loose furniture, soft furnishing and appliances are an ELS-planned proposal supplied by a partner or the owner; they are not bundled into the ALUMAX built-in price unless you ask ALUMAX to procure them.
Start the package on ALUMAX — the built-ins, the furniture proposal, the package price and the quote — and the ELS planning folds into the same programme. One point of contact, one specification, repeated across every identical unit.
