ILSM approaches should change with project phases
My experience has been that sometimes activities that result in Life Safety Code problems have an ebb and flow to them. As a broad example, how you ensure safety during a demolition phase is different (maybe not substantially different, but different) than what you do during a construction phase, which can be different than what you would do when the project is finishing up.
When you do the assessment for a project of a fairly lengthy duration (and no, I'm not going to tell you how long that is--you have to figure it out), phase your ILSM plan. Maybe you start with additional fire drills throughout the house and maybe finish with drills in the immediate area.
Or maybe you can change the "arc" of your surveillance round process: Start out with daily (or even more frequently during demolition) and maybe end with weekly. The language of EC.5.50 provides all the opportunity you need to make these determinations for yourself, so take full advantage.
