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
- 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
