Walkthrough checklist
- Record existing walls, openings, services and damage, then verify uncertain items with the appropriate trade.
- Separate required repairs from optional replacements so quotes show where the budget goes.
- Agree which access, isolation, removal and protection steps are needed before work starts.
Worked example
Removing a partition between dining and living rooms may expose old flooring and leave switches on a wall that disappears.
Survey floor continuity, wall construction, and electrical routes before fixing the new layout. Mark retained finishes and ask the relevant trades to price repair and service changes separately.
How to test it
Walk through the marked-up plan with the installer and record conditions that would change scope or cost.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Keep buffet pickup and return along one edge with a separate path back to seating.
- Detail
- Choose cleanable chair upholstery and even light at buffet labels and table surfaces.
- Trade-off
- A central buffet is accessible from all sides but can attract crossing traffic.
- Walk a plate route at likely busy points
- Pull chairs out along the buffet aisle
