## Deliverables Checklist

### Week 1 Deliverables

- [ ] All documentation complete
- [ ] Version control configured
- [ ] UE5 project ready
- [ ] Plugins installed
- [ ] Project structure created

### Week 2 Deliverables

- [ ] Geospatial data acquired
- [ ] Blockout level playable
- [ ] Asset list complete
- [ ] Blockout reviewed and approved

## Notes

- Focus on accuracy in Week 2 - blockout scale must be 1:1
- Asset list should be comprehensive - better to over-plan than under-plan
- Photogrammetry can be done in parallel with other work if resources allow
