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
An older entry has an uneven floor and a door that appears to scrape only during humid weather.
Record the floor levels and door movement before specifying new flooring or trimming the door. Ask the appropriate trade to inspect the cause and identify what work could affect the scope.
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
- Set a marked collection point near the entrance with staff access to stored orders behind it.
- Detail
- Use clear labeling and a secure cubby or drawer system that keeps names and parcels out of public view.
- Trade-off
- A dedicated point improves convenience but occupies prime frontage.
- Test a collection from entry to exit
- Check stored orders cannot be reached from the customer side
