The start date of the Fir Vale Project is on 1 December 2015. Assuming that the working hour of the project is 24 hours a day and 7 days per week. There would be no delay in any stage. Cohesion between any two stages are smoothly. In order to make some construction process simultaneously, there will be several different contracts who are responsible for the project.

Once the project begins, the first step is to demolish the remaining buildings and clear the construction waste around the derelict industrial land. This stage will last 13 weeks. After that, three stages will be carried out simultaneously, there are building 300 rental houses, building 400 private houses and constructing new road system. However, the requiring time of them is different. It will take 43 weeks to build rental houses. After that, renovating existing houses will begin and it will take 32 weeks until all old housed would have been renovated. Building private houses will last as long as 58 weeks. Constructing new road system only needs 19 weeks. Once new road would be used, then building community centre, outdoor recreation space and workshop unites will begin at the same time.
