Walkthrough checklist
- Make a schedule of fixed and portable equipment and note where each will actually be used.
- Overlay service routes and outlets on the furniture drawings before approving joinery.
- Keep shutoffs and frequently serviced connections reachable and have the relevant specialist verify the provision.
Worked example
A planned entry cabinet would cover the existing switch and a low outlet used for a vacuum.
Mark the switch and outlet on the cabinet elevation, then position the storage around access and cleaning use. Have the relevant trade verify any relocation before joinery is approved.
How to test it
Check locations against the final furniture and appliance drawings before walls or cabinets are closed.
Apply it to this space
- Layout
- Keep doors and housekeeping alcoves from narrowing the continuous route; make room numbers visible before each turn.
- Detail
- Use durable wall protection at luggage height and low-glare lighting with clear door-side illumination.
- Trade-off
- Decorative corridor seating can make the route feel welcoming but impede carts.
- Navigate to a room with typical luggage
- Pass a housekeeping cart at the narrowest point
