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

Inspect the wall and locate electrical points before fixing cabinet depth; agree repairs and access in the scope.
How to test it
Walk through the marked-up plan with the installer and record conditions that would change scope or cost.
